Poured from the tap (since I was nearby in the afternoon…). Hazy dull orangey brown with small white head. I already regret stopping in… orange and vanilla. Very feint gin and tonic character. Odd combo.

Looks terrible , no head, no bead . Palate is ok, sweet and spicy (nutmeg) and lactose. Light alcohol heat. Almost no carbonation

Poured from the tap (it was brewed for the John B Pub so may as well try it here…). Hazy amber with small white head. Orange juice, very feint guava and passionfruit, light generic hopping in the background, but mostly an OJ bomb. Lacklustre.

Good cloudy gold body and okay foam. Aroma is nice lavender and lemonade for sure. Tastes of tart lemonade, good lavender, maybe vague pilsner hops. Ends crisp and tangy, pretty good, but the pilsner takes a back seat.

Nice deep purple body and good foam. Smells of good tart fruit funk, kriek-like notes shining here. Taste is nice funky cherry, good kriek elements with nice lingering tanginess. Good functionality here, funky and fruity.

Good foam on a medium cloudy brown body. Smells of nice chewy biscuit, lemony sugar. Taste is wet biscuit and caramel, soft pine. It's too wet with no body, some good flavour elements but needs so much more.

Cloudy gold body and modest foam. Aroma is weak caramel hops, nothing else. Taste is smooth caramel, tangy candy, finishes with lingering pine. Clean, rather subtle.

Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with white head. Lots of pineapple on the nose. Light pineapple juice and pils malt, a bit gimmicky, not melding too well.

Poured from the tap. They must have re-released this (same ABV listed). Muddy brownish red with minimal off white head. Lots of really dark cherries, slightly creamy texture without being yogurty, actually enjoy this one.

Excellent custard coloured foam on a soft copper body. Aroma is good orange zest, soft malt, maybe vague pine. Taste is tart pine, orange rind, mellow maltiness, something like a cocktail bitters vibe going on. Ends dry and smooth with good oiliness. Nice, the bitter tonic angle works well with the hops.
