473ml can. Pours a hazy copper with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Aroma of toasted grainy malt, chocolate, cinnamon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted caramel malt, cinnamon, orange, honey, faint ginger and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Easy to drink, but I'm not getting much ginger.

Hazy and quite pale. Vague apple nose, touch of diacetyl. Odd stuff here. Light apple but sort of cheesiness, touch of butter. Effervescent but there are things wrong.

355ml can. Pours a clear mahogany with a medium, frothy, short lived, beige head that laces. Mild aroma of toasted bready malt and nuts. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, cocoa and nuts in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Crushable, but a little underwhelming.

On tap at Lore, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Nose is muddled, with musty apple skins and earthiness—not very coherent. Flavour is jumbled, with some champagne yeast, earthiness, and a muddled apple skin character. Incoherent overall and not particularly drinkable. Not great.

On tap at Trial & Ale. Pours murky pale yellow with a white head. Sweaty nose; some musty apple skins. Flavour has apple skins, some champagne yeast, and dish detergent. Poor, muddled cider.

Lots of coffee, a little vegetable tang in this. Clear golden pour with pretty good head. Finish is a weird one. Astringent end. Tap at brewery.

Mostly rhubarb in this. I don't get much strawberry. Comes off pretty sour as a result. Pale pink pour with decent head. Very acidic end. Tap at brewery.

Some mercury. Golden pour with decent head. Light lime in the finish, so not as crisp as best of style. Tal at brewery.
