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.

On tap at Storm, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of lime, with sort of a sprite characteristic. Flavour brings out this sprite characteristic, with what I can't help but think is a vodka element. Not very pleasant to me. Bleh - couldn't finish my small sample.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy orange with a large white head. Nose is extremely spicy, just like a chai tea. Nothing restrained about this - lots of spices smack you in the face. Flavour is much the same, drinking like an iced, alcoholic chai tea with a twist. Another cool novelty beer that is fun to try, but can't drink much.

On tap at Storm, pours a dark blueberry colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out blueberries, maybe some buttery notes. Flavour brings out shitloads of fresh sweetened blueberries, just like a pie indeed. Cool novelty beer and well-made on that level, but not something I could drink much of.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy deep blond color. The basil gives a strong minty accent to a powerful and hoppy IPA, more in the flavor; I’d be glad to try a basil beer also with a lighter beer.
Good result.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color with sparse head. Mild Rosemary aroma, a bit stronger flavor; it enhances the bready qualities of the malt; strong bitterness.
I prefer rosemary in my dish, buy it’s not too bad with this beer either.

Draught at the brewery
Amber color with generous creamy head. It has a nice Thai chili aroma, smooth mouthfeel, medium spiciness, a bit dusty. Not bad, but I wander what to drink with, maybe cakes.

Draught at the brewery
Amber color, hazy, with nice head. the orange is not much present, maybe some minimal acidity, but the vanilla extract gives an aroma and flavor of artificial industrial cakes.
Not for me.
