Can from the brewery. An overall strong undercurrent of tangerine citrus, with mildly sweet dry-grass malts, a little salt, with a forward layer of bitterness pervading over it all. The bitterness is quite detractive. Having bought one of each beer in their brewery cooler during my visit, and working my way through, this bitterness is starting to feel ubiquitous. Hmmm...we'll see.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a very cloudy blonde with orange undertones, very fluffy white head that sheets. Tastes juicy tropical, slight hopper, a little resin over sweet ready malt. Quite good.

Opaque beige/yellow with a medium creamy white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, with a weird peanut thing going on. Flavour is violets, lavender, and lemon zest. Wtf? Watery mouth feel, soft finish. Weird.
