Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear deep red with pinkish head. Aroma has sweet red grapes, a bit musty. Tastes like grape juice with more tannins, I guess.

11/09/2024 Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma has sweet malts and big pine. Flavour has resinous pine, some oily dank notes, nice malt backbone. Really solid. 23/08/2024 Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is pretty weak, some hop notes, too light for specifics. Flavour has a ton of chemical bitterness, some resin underneath, chewy malts. Hop expression is pretty fucked up. 2.3/5

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold blonde with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, Belgian yeast, coriander and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, watermelon, lemon, spicy coriander, Belgian yeast and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Refreshing and crushable. Not bad.

Poured from the tap @ P49. Clear gold with small white head. Stone fruit, pine, mild booze, kinda thrown together. Lacks elegance.

Poured from the tap @ P49. Lightly hazed yellow with small white head. Some feint berry and melon hops. Okay, but would rather get a more intense Alora rendition. Too subdued.
