On tap at Craft Roo, pours a clear copper golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some piney hops, seltzery notes, and bready malt. Flavour is bitter, with plenty of biting piney hops, a bit too much seltzery character, and biscuity malt. The balance is skewed to the bittering hops but is still balanced. Pleasant.

On tap at Craft Roo, pours a cloudy bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of clove and banana upfront, with light citrus and soft wheatiness. Flavour is full of citrus and clove, with minimal esters and banana character. Wheaty, citrusy finish with plenty of clove. Quite solid for the style.

On tap at Craft Roo, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is laid back, with straw, biscuity malt, and a touch of earthy hops. Flavour is gently bitter, with crisp grassiness, biscuity malt and straw. Finishes fairly bitter but with not the most expressive hop characters besides the bitterness. Pleasant.

Light, a bit watery, roasty, cofeeish. Tastes like a bad Guinness but still alright.
