Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, malt, hops, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, citrus fruits, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Smiths. Pours golden and cloudy. Bubblegum, raspberry, cherry, little bread. I get a lot of that blue raspberry slushy type flavour, and that’s honestly the best flavour in the world. One dimensional, so maybe not for everyone, but I loved it.

On tap at Smiths. Aroma is dried sweat and hard cheese and the taste is no better. There’s some bitterness in there, but it doesn’t really come associated with any particular flavours. It’s just bitterness over an unpleasant sweaty malt profile. I guess you can tell I didn’t like it.
