Bottled. Cloudy orange in colour. Neutral aroma. Some melon, a lot of fizz together with a watery light body and low bitterness makes this a highly disappointing effort from Kalamazoo. Some bubblegum in the finish can't save it.

Opaque cloudberry colour. Orangey aroma with honeyish notes and a wheaty accent. Vague wheaty character with a splash of orangey hop and bready pale malt signature.

Cloudy golden with small white head. Aroma is mild sweet, wheat, hint of cloves. Taste is too sweet wheat, hint of lemon. Light/medium body.

Pale golden yellow, light white head, very cloudy. Wheaty banana nose, slightly phenolic. Sweet crackers and grassy/floral hops taking more room than I’d expect. Mellow bitterness, but bright floral character. Lemony bananas feel good, but the milky edges I don’t like. Creamy light body. Disappointing.. Soapy and incoherent fruitiness.
