473ml can. Pours a clear blonde with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy wheat, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat, lemon and light piney hops in a dry, tart, slightly acidic finish. Light body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Refreshing and thirst quenching. Not bad.

Quite pale, medium head. Soft body, blackcurrant hops, blackberry, salmonberry, it’s a nice pocket but some more bitterness would help it pop because the malt is relatively light.

Poured from 473mL can (bb Mar 24, 2026). Hazy yellow gold with small white head. Tropical and melon hops, slightly juicy, but hop character is also a touch muted (maybe it's just the beer or maybe it's age - not sure how long they put the bb date for), fairly clean yeast profile for a hazy. Okay.

On tap at Steamworks - Mt Pleasant, pours a cloudy blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma has gentle citric notes, lacto, and a touch of tropical fruits. Flavour is pretty citric, with plenty of lacto, light passionfruit, and plenty of citric notes. Simple but inoffensive. Cheap adjunct kettle sour.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some earthy, almost sweaty hops, a touch of pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is moderately bitter, with some citrusy hops, light earthiness, and a dusty bready malt base. Dry, lightly bitter finish. Not the most expressive hops but reasonably constructed.

On tap at Barley Merchant. Pours hazy pale gold with a white head. Fermented malts on the nose. Flavour has pale citrus and some sort weird fermentation thing going on with the malts. Really not a fan.
