The beer pours a hazed orange-gold colour with a generous rocky light tan coloured head. Aroma is very citrusy with some grass in the mix. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is well balanced with the malty backbone balanced balanced by the bitter citrus flavours of the hops. A very good beer, very unlager-like though.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a hazed golden brown with a rocky white head that lingers. The aroma is funky earth, garage floor, and vinegar. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is sour and woody with plenty of funky flavours. There is both a sweetness and a sourness to the finish with the sour winning out.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a primarily translucent golden-orange colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is citrusy hops, some grainy malt, some metallic notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is definitely leaning towards the hoppy citrusy side with notes of light grapefruit, as well as good grainy malt notes. An easy to drink IPA.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
