473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold-yellow with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Tart aroma of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit and lacto. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit and lacto in a dry, tart lime finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing, easy to drink and tasty.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy malt, honey and grass. Mild, sweet flavour of biscuit malt, honey, lemon and grass in a dry, mild bitter, hoppy finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Not bad, just boring.

Can. Hazy blonde colour. Thin head. There's a fair bit of kettle sour on the nose, with a lot of saltiness, and a bit of the briny bit. Some citrusty fruitiness. Not half bad, actually.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle salt upfront, followed by coriander, and a touch of herbal notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with coriander, salt and citrus. Salty, citrusy and herbal. Very nice.

The aroma is rotting cabbage it seems, must be that grass they're talking about but it seems doused in rotting garbage. Has a weak yellow body with just a hint of foam. Flavour is good sourness but it's overpowered by rotting armpit.... oops, I mean fresh grass. Outhouse even. Is that a hop? Skunk cabbage? Whatever it is, get rid of it. Mouthfeel is full enough with some crispness. For whatever positives this beer has it's fundamentally flawed.

On tap at the brewery. The aroma is good peppery grains with soft chunky bread notes. Has a nice lasting white foam and a semi-cloudy gold body. Flavour is subtle grains with soft spiciness. Mouthfeel is full and somewhat sweet. This is nice and a full drinker with a bit of spice.
