On tap at Russell, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out subtle tea notes, a hint of mango, and very faint bergamot. Flavour is weak, with very subtle mango, some bergamot and biscuity malt. Useless beer.

On tap at Russell, pours a cloudy bright golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out briny notes, light salt, citrus and a bit of boozy cocktail-like notes in poor cohesion. Flavour is salty and citric, with lots of briny notes, boozy cocktail-like notes, and lacto. It's like salty, vodka-infused lacto. Not horrible but not good.

On tap at Russell, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out intense stone fruit, orange, and strong lactose. Flavour is fruity and sweet, with lots of lactose, stone fruit, and subdued hops. I hate this style and this one ain't changing my mind, but it's not egregious.

On tap at Russell, pours a mostly clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is basically neutral, with biscuity malt. Flavour is muddled but fairly neutral, with biscuity malt and muddled earthiness. Not clean and not well-calibrated. Poor.

Opaque, peachy colour. Thin head. Mellow bitterness. Some orange and passionfruit. Not so much guava. Bit of sweetness in the finish. Okay - it doesn't come together entirely but it doesn't clash either.

Hazy pale. Medium head. Fruity hop nose. Moderate bitterness, light underripe bitter peach kind of character. Hmmm. Something not quite right, but I think it's the fermentation. Or it's just been sitting around a bit too long and the hop brightness has become slightly oxidized.

Hazy pale tan. Not much head. Mellow, touch of salt. Medium body. Slight tartness. A bit yeasty but otherwise it's okay gose.
