5.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at East West, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light saison yeast and a touch of esters. Flavour isn't very authentic, with saison yeast, esters, and biscuity malt. Becomes too estery with each additional sip. Not convincing.

5.2/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4
On tap at East West, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light coffee, a touch of vanilla and moderate sweetness. Flavour brings out cloyingly sweet vanilla, a touch of coffee and light roast. Cloyingly sweet and too pronounced on the vanilla. Not disastrous like some of their other beers, but this isn't very pleasant.

1.6/10 Appearance 2 Aroma 2 Flavor 1 Texture 2 Overall 1.5
On tap at East West, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with diacetyl, not much else. Flavour is disgustingly infected, with nothing but butter pretty much - finishes cloyingly sweet. A total trainwreck. This should not be sold.

3.6/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
On tap at East West, pours a hazy dull golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out herbal notes and light biscuity malt. Flavour has some definitely off-flavours: vegetal, cabbage and biscuity malt. Herbal and vegetal finish. Needs fixing.

On tap at East West, pours a cloudy rose colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral notes upfront, with a touch of saison yeast. Flavour brings out notes of hibiscus, light floral notes and light saison yeast. Fruity and floral on the finish. Nice stuff.

On tap at East West, pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out subdued resinous hops, caramel bready malt and a touch of diacetyl. Flavour is very sweet, with cloyingly sweet caramel malt, some diacetyl and subdued resinous hops. This is just bad. Undrinkable cloyingly sweet faux-IPA.
