On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear gold with a white head. Pale malts and grass on the nose. Flavour has chewy pale malts and a fairly weak grassy character. Meh.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Tons of bandaids on the nose. Flavour is rife with phenols, some brighter yeast components coming through and a sharp dry-hop kind of character. Too phenolic to be good.

12oz @ Ryan's.
Aroma: lager hops, a bit fruity.
Taste: along the same lines, a bit dusty, very bitter.
Overall: clean, crispy, fine.

Pale amber, just a slight haze. This one has a thin head. Clean, grainy sort of malt aroma. Relatively clean on the palate as well. A bit grainy on the palate, though, towards the finish, but it's not bad.

Poured from 355mL can. Chill hazed gold with small white head. Basic pils malt with generic bittering hops. Simple, inoffensive. Better than expected.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of tangy berries on the nose. Flavour is very bright and tangy, gentle bitterness on the finish. Drinks clean, nice.

Big bottle. Caramel brown pour. Toffee butterscotch and roasted malts. Lots of salt...

Slight haze, no head. Some fruity hop. Somewhat boozy, that defines things. Allium and a little bit of orange as well. Not awful but it is a bit clunky. The kind of TIPA where you're better off with a dink pour.
