5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
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.

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.

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.

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.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out coriander, floral notes and some Belgian yeast. Flavour is full of coriander, some Belgian yeast, and soft pillowy wheat. Soft and pillowy, properly constructed but not particularly interesting. Pleasant.

473 ml can. Pours a purple/red with full pink head. Aromas of creamy sweetened berries and a bit of earthy blueberries. Flavors of creamy and chalky blueberries plus sugar. OK as a cold summer beverage but not too refined.

Purplish colour. Thick head. Nitrogen can, which is kind of odd, but let's run with it. I mean, there's a lot of butyric to go with those berries. Yeah, it's not as profound on the palate as it is on the nose, but I'm not really going to get past that.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold yellow with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Spicy aroma of grainy pale malt, ginger and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon and floral hops in a dry, tart, acidic, spicy ginger finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average to lively carbonation. Refreshing, but kind of a one-trick pony.
