On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry straw and biscuity malt. Flavour is dry, with straw, biscuity malt, and gentle hops. Dry, straw-like and biscuity. Good stuff.

473mL can. Pours hazy gold with white head. Aroma has gentle pine, stale fruit, and caramel malts. Flavour has a lot of sweet biscuit malts up front with some citrus and a touch of bitter pine. Nothing bad here per se, but this seems very light on the hops. Not really what I would hope for in a fresh hop beer.

Pale amber, some haze, thin head. Mild malt, like 586 character but not much bitterness. This is a bit weak, definitely needs more bitterness but also a brighter malt note would help.

Pale and slight haze. Doesn’t smell like el dorado but it certainly tastes like it. Simple malt, but lots of hop, so it’s not complex…a touch yeasty and the malt isn’t bright, but if you like el dorado you’ll be plenty happy.

Straw colour, slight haze. Bubbly head. Lots of strata on the nose, body is medium but there’s not much malt character. Drinks weak, the bitterness is okay but it’s almost non-alcy in the way it comes across. The rice undermines the finer attributes of this beer.

473 ml can. Pours a dull gold with light head. Aromas of slightly floral hops, honey, candied fruit and light pine. Flavors follow same with a good dose of biscuity malts. Nice enough.

Pinkish and hazy. Light body. Tart orange, and yeasty. Decent, but simple and yeasty.

Hazy. This is kind of yeasty. There's some light hops, and a soft body. Nothing too horrible but like, ok.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some citrus, and light pine. Flavour has some rotting stone fruits, dank hops, a little pine, and citrus. Lots of stone fruits on the finish. Doesn't have the problems that many hazies do but it's still rather rough. Meh.

On tap at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma has some coriander, orange peel, and saline in reasonable cohesion. Flavour is salty, with juicy oranges, coriander, saltiness, and a hint of orange. Salty, coriander finish. Good.
