Draught. Colour - a cloudy orange-gold pour, the cap is cream coloured, very bubbly, and the lacing is decent. Aroma - hop forward with lots of citrus, pine, and floral notes. some cereal malts are in the mix as well. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, well carbonated. Flavour - nicely balanced between the cereal malt sweetness and the citrusy hop bitterness. I liked it/

Bottle. Colour - orange gold, slight haze, thick off-white head, frothy, good lacing. Aroma - cereal grains, pine/spruce notes, citrus, and floral notes. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, over carbonated. Flavour - a let down considering the aroma. There is a definite imbalance towards the hoppy notes with very little of the malt showing through.

Bottle. Colour - very hazy golden amber colour, head is odd-white and very thin, and lacing is minimal. Aroma - funky yeast, weak citrusy hops, and a ton of tart raspberry. The label mentions other berries but on the raspberries cut through. Mouthfeel - thin bodied, well carbonated. Flavour - very tart fruit notes and a lot of funk. Maybe a bit too sour for my palate.

Can. Colour - pale gold, very clear, weak foamy white cap, very little lacing. Aroma - very malt forward with cereal and biscuit notes, weak eartyhy hops round out the nose. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, well carbonated, quite crisp. Flavour - like the aroma the malt is the most dominant flavour in this beer with the hops coming through in the finish, but nowhere else.
