On tap at Widowmaker - Brighton, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some gentle woody pine, light citrusy tanginess, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour has a lot of citrusy, tangy hopsβI guess the Idaho is more prominent hereβwith gentle pine in the background. Almost tart without being so, more bitter on the finish. Good structure, just not exactly the bulls eye for my preferred hop expression. Solid overall.

On tap at Widowmaker - Brighton, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of allium, dank hops, and some woody, piney hops. Flavour is robust, with lots of woody piney hops, allium, and crisp, dry biscuity malt. Woody, piney, oniony finish. Good balance; I like the hop expression in part, minus the Citra. Very good.

On tap at Widowmaker - Brighton, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma has dry bready malt and a hint of toasted caramel. Flavour is much the same, with dry bready malt, a hint of toasted caramel, and gentle hoppy bitterness. Competently constructed. Pleasant.

17 IBU, lol. On tap at Alewives, pours an opaque muddy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some pithy stone fruitiness, gentle juicy citrusy hops, and oats. Flavour is fairly fruity, with overripe stone fruits, underripe green berries, gentle hopburn, and a touch of citrus. Far from the worst hopburn/chalk offenders out there, but still rather messy and incoherent. Okay.

Pours hazy blonde. Scent is citrus-heavy, dank hops. Taste is full, dank, citrussy. Mild hopburn. Not the best of balances.

Pours a hazy, gold-banana, with smallish head. Aroma is a bit muted, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors more pronounced (though not hugely), with citrus and tropical fruit. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
