Keg at the brewery, 4/30/22. Clear copper, barely any head. Aroma of floral, minty hops, toffee. Taste is dank, resin, caramel, apple. Moderate bitterness, watery. No diacetyl, thankfully, unlike the other two. But very amateurish.

Orange nose, meringue. Clear amber, medium head, good lace. Orange, lemongrass, meringue undertones. Parfait-ish. Maybe a little underattenuated? Medium body, soft carbonation. Good, but the sweetness is a bit distracting.
