On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours clear ruby. Red apple skins on the nose. Flavour has red apple skins, excess sugars, sweet cherry candies, and blackberry candies. This is pop nonsense, way too sweet.

On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours clear pale blonde. Mostly apple skins on the nose. Flavour has apple skins, first pass cider, some cores. It tastes like a cheap cider, but at least no excess sugars.

On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours clear gold with a white head. Caramelized malts and pine on the nose. Flavour has plenty of sappy pine, generic honey-like sugars. It's a pretty middling pale ale.

On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Fresh yuzu and pine on the nose. Flavour has yuzu citrus, some fresh pine, a bit dank, no hazy nonsense; pretty minimal bitterness. I'd take this as a hazy.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of berry-flavoured wine gummies on the nose. Tastes like wine gummies too; generic mixed berries, artificial sweetness, and a manufactured dryness that is supposed to replicate wine. It's not bad, just gimmicky and one-dimensional.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Very light dried pine and malts on the nose. Flavour has dry, bitter pine and very little in the way of malts. This tastes washed up.

On tap as Epic IPA. Pours amber with moderate head. Overall dull hops adding a bit of bitterness but mostly sweet doughy malts. Not unpleasant but nothing to write home about.

16oz @ Alex's.
Aroma: tropical fruits, some candied citruses.
Taste: predominantly candied citrusy, noticeably bitter.
Overall: clean and crispy. Good for the style (which I am not a big fan of).
