Smells of soft fruit sweetness, has foggy yellow body with modest foam on top. Flavour is nice pineapple on grain. Mouthfeel is sharp and dry. Good balance, nicely made.

On tap at Vancouver Island, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals spicy pink peppercorns, a touch of pineapple, and saison yeast. Flavour is unusual, with a decent mix of the peppercorns and pineapple, followed by estery saison yeast. Spicy, fruity and spicy again on the finish. Odd, but decently done.

Pineapple and pepper. Clearish gold with a decent head. Lots of black pepper and some pineapple notes.

Draught, St Augs. Pale and hazy. No head. Quite estery and also a bit of bubblegum. Overly yeasty, but with nothing behind it. Sweet and messy. Sticky malts and not much else.
