The beer pours a hazy orange colour, reminiscent of C-Plus Orange Soda from the 1980s, with a loose foamy light tan coloured head which doesn’t last. The aroma is dishsoap, oranges, weak herbal hops, and ginger. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, almost powdery, with below average carbonation, which is expected in a radler. You can taste both the fruit and ginger in the flavour, which is rather unique. Again, as a ‘drink’, I would try this again based on flavour alone, but still looking for more beer quality. -

The beer pours a translucent red-tinged gold colour with a generous foamy white head which quickly recedes to a thin rocky layer of islands. The aroma is very grainy, some herbal hops, and some off-putting acidic notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is grains and some bitter hops but for the most part is very non-descript. -

The beer pours a murky grapefruit colour with a generous white head which disappears right before your eyes. The aroma is more herbal than fruit, although one can detect notes of citrus, especially oranges, and there are milky notes. The aroma is pleasant, but nothing like a beer should smell like. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation, and I’m talking soft drink carbonation levels. The flavour is fruity with notes of orange, grapefruit, and lime and a touch of grainy malt. As a beer, this isn’t what I was hoping for, but it would make a great summer cooler/alcoholic soft drink for those who are into that sort of thing. . -

The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a generous foamy white head which receded faster than you can type out the letter ‘I’. The aroma was grainy malt and earthy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt with a bitter hop finish. This beer is not a bad beer, but it isn’t a good beer either. -

The beer pours a highly hazed golden orange colour with a bubbly white head which lasts a few moments. The aroma is light grass, like, oranges, and ginger. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. There is a lot of lime in the flavour, and next to no beer. As with their other two radlers, this is a great tasting alcoholic juice beverage, but really isn’t beery enough for me to call a radler or shandy. -

The beer pours a translucent pale straw colour with a generous white head which sticks around a couple of minutes. The aroma is cereal grains, weak herbal hops, and some spicy notes. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is weak grainy malt with a bitter hop finish. Not a lot going for this one. Very bland. -

The beer pours a hazy straw yellow colour with a generous creamy head that takes a while to recede, but leaves a lot of lacing. Once you open the can, the pineapple aroma is in your face. Once in the glass, aromas of cereal malts, light yeast, and musty hops join the party. The mouthfeel is ligt to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour tends to the tart side of the spectrum, with some grains and a definite salty presence on the tongue. Finish is more salty than bitter -

This beer poured an translucent orangy-gold with a thin, creamy white head. The aroma was slighty yeasty with some malty and hoppy hints. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, creamy, and amply carbonated. The taste was dryish, yeasty, with a little bit of sweetness. A very good beer.
