On tap at Hell Hunt, pours a clear straw blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of banana and cloying sugar. Flavour is absolutely disgusting, with cloying banana syrup. Oh man is this terrible. Hilariously bad. One of the worst atrocities I've ever tasted.

On tap at Hell Hunt, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of herbal notes and toasted biscuity malt and sweet esters. Nothing pleasant here. Just bad.

On tap at Hell Hunt, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt and light toasted nuts. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted biscuity malt, a herbal character and a hint of toasted caramel. Herbal and toasty. Meh.
