Bottle. (thanks Tom) Hazy yellow with a small white head. Quite tart with citrus, oak and funk. Fresh and easy to drink. A pleasant one.

This beer is a hazy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of tart tropical fruit, hops, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of oak, tart fruit, mildly funky yeast and hops. The finish is tart and fruity with a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Hazy pale. Thin head. Has a nice lychee el dorado nose...really nice hop character on that. I like this - - light bright hops that blend well with pale malt and a hit of fruitiness.

Draught at Darby’s Gastown, Vancouver
Hazy blond color, a bit dull. The aroma is mild, Mild fruity and sour aroma, nothing special. Quite dry, but the mouthfeel is soft and the body is not weak; good Sour base, some citrus fruit, no clear evidence of specific hops.
Good. Clean, not very complex.

On tap. Pours a hazy light gold with lightbhead. Aromas of wet malts, light Brett and sweetened lemons. Flavors of cottony Brett, dry citrus, wheat, and dull oak. Comes across cottony and flat though well constructed.

Tap at the brewpub. More acidity and vinegar than Amarillo or Azacca. Really tart and fizzy, less fruit and flavours in general, more focused on a super dry and tart mouthfeel. I prefer the other two.

Bottle: Poured a clear blonde color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral hoppy notes with nice tart notes which is really enjoyable. Taste is a mix of tart notes with no acidity, light cereal notes with some light fruity hoppy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very enjoyable and refreshing beer with nice level of drinkability.
