Draft. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is pineapple, grapefruit zest, black pepper, and hard resin. Sticky and bitter. Medium body, hard, and abrasive. Interesting and aromatic, but harsh.

Very herbally and grassy, not really pleasant, even with some pickled cucumbers (oh, man!). Taste is along the same lines. Sorry, but this is not good at all.

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. Pint, clean and clear golden body, fast departing white crown. This had a strange metallic twang to it, struggled to finish it all; not good!

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. Pint, clean and clear golden body short lived white head. Crisp feel but again a metallic feel to another of this breweries beers, something is amiss. Drank it, but didn't really enjoy it.

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. Slight haze to the golden body, white affair on top. Citrusy, tropical fruity nose with a more earthy feel to the taste, it wasn't this breweries finest day when I visited and this fell short of being a decent drink, sorry to hit the small guy, but I rate truthfully.

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. On the flight, hazy golden body, white head, blend of semi-sweet maltiness and bettering hops.

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. On the flight, almost clear golden pour, decent white head. Nose held citrus and piney esters, taste followed along the same lines, light bitterness throughout. One of their better beers on the day.

Sunday afternoon at the brewery, two pints and a flight of six (6oz pours) taken in the sunshine, cheers to my Son-in-Law for driving; 23rd July 2023. Clean golden pour, white head that soon departed. Hot and not very pleasant I'm sorry to say, managed to finish it, but glad it was on my flight rather than trying to sink a pint of it.
