355ml can from the brewery that pours a hazy golden colour with a big warm, frothy, kind of creamy head that lasts quite a while and leaves big chink of foam lace. Aromas of citrus, peel and juice, with a different herbal feel. Almost waxy, but not offensive. Also felt in the taste, so maybe wax that would normally be found on the zest of citrus fruits. Hints of pineapples. Good enough dryness, yet juicy all-around. A nice herbal different Pale Ale.

500ml bottle from the brewery that pours a hazy golden colour with a big creamy-frothy warm head, good retention and thick creamy-foamy lacing. Small particles floating through it. Malty nose with hints of caramel and the citrus hops just above to cut the sweetness. The taste shows decent bitterness and citrus dryness in the finish. Biscuit malt backbone. An easy one to drink, but still has enough to give for an APA. Very good !

500ml bottle that pours a lightly hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big fluffy-frothy white cap, very good stay and loads of thick foam patches. Banana nose at first with some fresh green apples that do come out with time. Refreshing, carbonated mineral water feel. Getting hazier by the pour. Mild taste of wheat giving banana notes, with the hops that give those apples ones. A nicely brewed light beer with enough to keep us happy.

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue. Fizzy head disappears quickly leaving no lacing, but carbonation is quite active. Sour aromas of wild yeast with some fruitiness giving hints of peaches. The flavours are quite sour with some tartiness in the finish. The peaches are quite mild all-around. Seems like a lighter sour beer with more tart than peach. Alright, but not my favourite of the series.

Slightly hazy bright golden, light-yellow colour with very active carbonation, a creamy warm off-white cap, great retention leaving very thick creamy lacing. Brettish aromas with some soft earthiness and sourness. The Simcoe hops do help out balance this, with some grassiness. Same, mildly in the taste with a light dry finish. A little tarty in the mouthfeel. Gets hazier and hints of pears come out in the flavours. Pretty easy to drink and well-brewed overall.
