On nitro tap at Lakesider, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a medium beige head. Nose reveals earthy roasted malt, toasted nuttiness, and some gentle burnt coffee. Flavour has notes of lactose, gentle coffee, and dry cocoa. For what this is, this actually packs some flavour. Balanced and drinkable. Solid.

On tap at Lakesider, pours a cloudy murky golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is soft and wheaty, with gentle apricot. Flavour is bright, with lots of apricot upfront, atop a soft wheaty base. Really nice apricot expressed here. Simple but refreshing.

On tap at Lakesider, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma is gentle, with light grass and cereal malt. Flavour is rather character-less, with bitter grassiness and crisp biscuity malt. Needs more hop flavour expression and bite, but it's drinkable. Okay.

On tap at Lakesider, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma seems nicely balanced, with resinous and piney hops, and bready caramel malt to back. Flavour is well-hopped, with resinous hops, some mild fruitiness, a little pine, and enough sweetness to back. Bright hop expression with good balance. Very nice.

On tap at Lakesider, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out jammy raspberries, light tartness, and a touch of lacto. Flavour is bright, tarot and jammy, with a nice expression from the raspberries upfront, backed with just enough lacto without making this a yogurt bomb. Gently tart, nicely jammy finish. Fruity and tasty.

On tap at Lakesider, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy hops and moderate roasted malt to back. Flavour is bold and balanced, with lots of earthy hops, deeply roasted malt, and a little piney. Quite bitter and quite roasted but in good balance. Very competently made. Good stuff.

Dark brown. Fudgey. Sweet, but quite nice with a slightly toasty finish. It's decent, although I would usually prefer more bitterness.

Pink colour. Hazy. It comes across largely as a standard issue raspberry sour. Take a classic 90s razz wheat, and then make it more lactic and pow! I mean, the berry comes across well, but it's a basic mf'ing beer.
