On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear dark amber/mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma has some licorice- and root beer-like spices, and I guess a rum & coke character. Flavour is dry, tart and spiced, with the same aforementioned spices, lacto, and rum & coke. Cheap flavoured kettle sour like so many others. Crap.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of hibiscus upfront, along with gentle red berries, and a touch of yogurty lacto. Flavour is indicative of a cheap kettle sour, with lots of lacto, unfortunate sugars, and hibiscus of course. Sweet, yogurty. Garbage cash-flow beer.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has lightly sweet bready malt, a hint of caramel, and touch of cereal malt. Flavour is clean, with dry bready malt, a touch of faint toffee, and a dry, bready finish. Clean and nicely constructed. Pleasant.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has subdued piney hops, a touch of grass, some citrus. Flavour is more tropical, with melon, restrained piney hops, some grassiness, and light sweetness. Inoffensive but where are the hops? Needs more punch. It’s fine.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy dull blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has lightly tangy hops, some citrus, tropical fruits, and light earthiness. Flavour is dry and yet fruity, with a nice tropical hop expression, light earthiness, and a citrusy bitter finish. Nicely hopped for the style. Solid enough.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber with light head. Aromas of soft wheat and sweetened mangoes. Flavors follow same with more emphasis on the sweet mangoes. Easy to drink but really no where near the style.

473mL can, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has some light vegetal notes, some piney hops, and bready malt. Flavour is bright and lightly bitter, with some bitter pine, light vegetal notes, and bready malt. It’s alright, far from their best work.
