6.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy blonde with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of grainy wheat malt, Belgian yeast, lemon peel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit peel, coriander, Belgian yeast and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and enjoyable.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out banana, clove and bready malt. Flavour is bubblegumy, clove and wheaty notes. Too bubblegumy. This doesn't work for me.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out medium roasted malt, some light earthiness, and toasted notes. Flavour is nice and malty, with medium roasted malt, soft cocoa powder, and some earthiness. Very roasty and earthy, with a dry, cocoa-y finish. Good stuff.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with straw and biscuity malt — not much hop content. Flavour is clean but timid, with straw, biscuity malt and a touch of grassiness. Way under-hopped. Nothing off about it but nothing interesting about it.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out oily pine, biscuity malt and some weird herbal notes. Flavour has a sweaty, herbal hop character, and a soft biscuity malt backbone. Not a nice hop expression.

5.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out a strange dank, BO-like character on the hops. Flavour has a very unpleasant character to the hops, with a sweaty hoppiness and some earthiness. Sweaty hops and a dry finish. No good.

6.5/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out soapy floral hops, gentle chalk, and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly juicy and lacking the usual BS chalkiness thankfully, with some stone fruit pith, earthy hops, and some juiciness. Fairly dry despite the somewhat juicy nature, with a decent body. Solid.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out oily piney hops, biscuity malt, and some dankness. Flavour is full of oily dank hops, biscuity malt, and some resins. A bit rough and uncoordinated but not bad.

6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Parallel 49, pours a fairly clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some tropical fruits, citrus hops, light pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice oily, dank hop character — seems hopped more like an IPA than a pale — with lots of oily hops in there. Oily palate that's a bit abrasive and uncoordinated but points for hopping this reasonably. Not bad.
