Tasted rather tangy and fruity which I thought, hmm, helluva yeast strain going on there, if a bit strange. The bartend said they ADD fruit to this, I forget what but I notice fruit acidity and esters overtop a basically english ale style. Okay but no refills.

Dark amber body with golden highlights, small off white head. Aroma has moderate hop presence, light fruity notes with an intertwined character that I presume to be the hemp influence. Pleasant flavour with moderate bitterness and muted fruit notes. Pleasantly quaffable but the increased alcohol and astringent bitterness as it warms take away from it a bit. Perhaps it did not pair well with my burger that came mid glass? Average palate.

Golden ale with a light white head. Sweet honey aroma, with a rather sweet malt taste with fruity esters, almost solvent like. No bitterness. Pineapple notes. Medium bodied with oily mouthfeel.

(Draught) Pours a thin, white head and a copper body. Sour nose? Tart flavour of red wine vinegar. Maybe some sourdough in there as well? Poor.
