500ml bottle that pours a clean golden colour with a frothy white cap, decent retention and nice creamy lacing. Cereal straw grain malt nose with some light sweetness and hops showing a tad in there to balance things. Same for taste. Smooth mouthfeel with a little silkiness. This is a nice, easy-drinking Euro lager.

On tap at Spark, pours a cloudy golden with a tiny white head. Nose is loaded with stone fruits, especially peaches, followed by lacto as the base. Flavour is immensely fruity, with loads of stone fruits and a bit of lacto to back. Fruity and juicy, but not terribly exciting or complex. Good stuff.

On tap at Spark, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with apricot upfront, followed by lacto and a touch of tartness. Flavour is very juicy, with loads of apricot upfront and dominating — extremely juicy, with a gentle lacto base. Good expression of the apricot, but there's nothing else to it. Fun fruited kettle sour.

On tap at Spark, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out estery notes and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is somewhat floral, with rustic saison yeast and a hit of estery character. Not the best expression of the yeast but it's decent.
