Hazy golden-orange colour with a big white frothy head, good retention and some foamy lacing. Blood orange nose with the grapefruits, with the bitter zest side appearing over the juices - with time. I am also getting a minty note as it goes. The taste is milder, with the citrus juices and a touch of herbs in the finish. As I did enjoy their low-alcohol Blonde (which this is the base of this one), adding a few fruit juices kept it good for me.

Clean amber colour with a touch of copper on one side, and golden highlights on the other. Big creamy-frothy light-beige head, good stay and lots of lacing left. Darker malt cereal nose with some hoppy, grassiness and hints of rusty water. The mouthfeel is pretty watery, making the taste very mild. Light malts, cereal, maybe a touch of caramel, but not much nuttiness. More grassy notes in the finish to up the mildness. Not a bad low-alcohol red ale, but might prefer the Blonde in this series.

Slightly unfiltered with tiny particles running through the light golden colour. The head is huge, almost white with good retention and leaving some beautiful creamy-bubbly lacing. Herbaceous aromas with some grass, herbs and other freshness. Was expecting lots of dryness in the mouthfeel, but no. I get orange notes in the taste and the hops is milder, but effective. A touch of herbs does linger with all of this. A decent, low-alcohol IPA, but not the one I was expecting from this brewery.

Can that pours a clean golden colour with a huge white cap, slightly warmed-creamy, with great retention and long lasting lacing. Cereal grainy malt nose with some fresh herbal notes. Refreshing, lightly crisp mouthfeel with some stick to it, but nothing syrupy. The taste is mild, but with the cereals, hints of honey and hops. A very well-brewed, typical blonde with no alcohol.

Can that pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a big frothy warm cap, good retention and some creamy lacing. Grass aromas, kind of strong West Coast-style, oats, alcohol and a mild citrus background. The taste shows again, deep green grassiness, hints of raisins, some orange juice base and lemon zest. A little tartiness on the tongue, some warming in the mouthfeel. Decent citrus bitterness, right before the finish. A pretty good Imperial IPA with some juiciness, but West Coast action.
