Poured from the tap. Slightly murky, dull gold with small white head. Aroma of gas fumes and hop burn, pretty intense. Taste is dry and piney, with a bit of hop burn. A little unbalanced.

Dull, hazy, medium head but not all that attractive. Has that sourdough fruity thing I associate with the style. Light body, grainy, just a hint of acidity. No nothing there, as admirable qualities go, but that’s often the case. Still waiting for one of these to impress me.

Amber color. Light haze, and a big thick head. The nose is hoppy with citrus, pears and stone fruits. Moderate bitterness that builds up. Sweet malts, mostly pale but a little chewiness, nuttiness. Wheat lends a touch of acidity, but just a touch, makes it more refreshing. The hops almost pick up blueberry along the way, in addition to the bright citrus and apricot accents. Just a touch of yeastiness in the finish. The different elements of this beer really complement each other well.

Bottle. Bright pale amber. Medium head. Spicy, with a sweet malt signature. A bit too much sweetness in this, so maybe a bit more bitterness would balance it. The hops are mellow, orangey and a bit spicy. Decent.

473 ml can. Pours a copper color with huge head. Aromas of bready malts, caramel, and sweet muddle citrus. Flavors follow same - mostly malts. Hops are earthy - may be stale. No best before date…

Hazy, dull and pale. No head. Aroma of green mango and kettle sour. On the palate, lots of kettle sour, but it's pretty clean. The salt is noticeable, and the mango is still on the green side. Cardamom comes through in the finish. Decent enough, a bit simple, and would benefit from much brighter and sweeter mango character. Like, until you get an Indian named Alphonso and a Jamaican named Julie to agree that the mango character is good enough, consider the task unfinished.

A hazed blonde ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, light biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light tropical fruits, OK. In mouth, sweet fruity malt with light resinous hops, light lemon, light tropical fruits, OK. On tap at brewery.
