On tap at Storm, pours a dark red with a medium beige head. Nose brings out subtle cherries, wheat, but no sourness. Flavour brings out a touch more tartness, with lots of cherries, though not a whole lot of Berliner notes. Very drinkable, refreshing cherry beer. Great one.

On tap at Storm, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose is potent on the limes, with no pils quality coming through. Flavour is pretty much the same, almost like a lemon lime soft drink. Not very beery, never mind pilsner-like. Not a big fan of this, but it's not a disaster.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy faded blond with a small white head. Aroma is lemony and sort of sweet, with a bunch of wheaty notes as well. Flavour tastes more like a funky gueuze than a Berliner - this is rather exquisite. Long duration of funky horse blanket. Highly drinkable and flavourful. Not a Berliner, but this is damn excellent.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma brings out loads of plums, some citrus, and not really any tartness. Flavour reveals plums, citrus and some spiciness. Again, not very sour at all, more on the spicy side somehow. Not very enticing, but still decent.

On tap at Alibi Room. A pitch black pour with a minuscule filmy beige head. The aroma gives me banana and sour cherry - appetizing. The nose gives me some banana hefeweizen notes then tartness. A sharp mouthfeel with an incredibly tart acidic sour vinegar like taste. This is tasty but sour as hell, not unbalanced but definitely pushing the boundaries of what you expect from a beer. Well done, tart but fruitily appetizing.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy dark orange with lots of sediment and a small white head. Nose smells like a freshly baked apple pie, full of caramelized apples, nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavour is identical, bringing out both sweet and spicy notes that are in good balance. Loads of flavour here. Usually I don't like these gimmicky beers, but I must concede this is really enjoyable.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Nose brings out fresh raspberries upfront, and you still get some fresh cutting grassy pils hop in back. Flavour is also a great mix of the raspberries and grassy hops. You wouldn't think this combo would work, but somehow it does. Fresh, vibrant and drinkable. Very nice.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy darkish orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of pithy grapefruit, though it smells closer to orange juice. Flavour brings out lots of fresh pulpy and pithy grapefruit without being too bitter. Man is this refreshing. Fresh, flavourful and thirst-quenching. This rivals Parallel's 49 for best local radler.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out quite a lot of ginger - can't tell there's an IPA underneath. Flavour is very spicy, with loads of ginger, and maybe a slight detection of hops underneath, but that might be confirmation bias. Well-crafted for what it is. Decent spiced ginger ale.
