Great lime on the nose, muddy brown body and good foam. Flavour is more lime melded with grain. Dry finish. Good balance between citrus and grain here.

Very good foam on cloudy orange body, nice lime spritzer aroma. Flavour is soft pilsner grain, chewy malt, good lime infusion. Lingering lime and dry finish. Really nice, perfect for this hot late summer day.

Bottle bought at the brewery October 2019, that would make it... uh, 8 months old now? Or 9 months, like a baby? Not only a bottle cap but a cork under it just to test your skills if you're tweaked. Pours with pitch perfect foam on a deep ruby-brown body, dark copper even, soft carbonation with small bubbles. The aroma is wet and acidic malt, plenty of sweet blackberry, nothing too harsh and ultimately reminiscent of a good Rodenbach; still malty but definitely fruit coming through the shroud. Flavour is a huge dark malt hit of acidity with plenty of blackberry; lambic for sure, good deep maltiness balanced by fruitiness. Very tart finish, fine and earthy with dry wood notes rounding it out. I'm a big lambic fan and this gets many things right. Storm generally does well with this sort of thing and they've certainly done exceptionally well with this one.

Smells of mellow lavender and cassis, quite nice in fact. Has good deep purple body with nice foam. Flavour is muddy, nothing is layered and nothing stands out, just a big lavender mess. Mouhtfeel is full. Needs more attention to detail.

Listed as raspberry ginger pilsner, this seems close enough. Pours milky purple with good pink foam, has good raspberry on the nose but no ginger. Flavour is bright sweet raspberry, very slurpee-like. Mouthfeel is full and refreshing. Decent enough.

Sweet red licorice aroma, has medium gold body with little foam. Flavour is sweet spicy fruit syrup, mouthfeel is cloying sugar. Not their best effort.

On tap. Pours black with light head. A nice soft somewhat sweet stout with a bit of chocolate, but cannot get much orange...
