On tap at Chuck’s Seward Park, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of orange zest, light cocoa, and a touch of toasted malt underneath. Flavour is somewhat tart and citric upfront—courtesy of the orange zest, which dwarfs everything else. There’s little residual sugar or notice of much else. It’s alright.

On tap at Chuck’s Seward Park, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of Belgian yeast esters, some cotton candy, and soft floral notes. Flavour is not too sweet but is still too estery, with cotton candy, floral notes, and booze. Doesn’t have the right yeast expression, isn’t carbonated enough, and just isn’t hitting the right notes.

On tap at Chuck’s Seward Park, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice gentle piney hop expression, some grass, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with gentle piney hops, biscuity malt, and a touch of grass. Pleasant hop expression, though more like a timid IPA than a pils. Solid.
