Draft - Perfumy and a touch of nail polish. Clearish copper with a decent white head. Some green apple notes and not much else.

On tap at East Van, pours a hazy amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is robust for a pale, with floral hops and crisp bready malt. Flavour is dry and punchy, with bitter floral hops and a dry biscuity malt base. More bitterness than actual hop flavour. Okay.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy amber color. The aroma is lightly earthy and it has hints of vomit. Dry and weak mouthfeel, less strong than expected; light caramel from the infamous Crystals malt, non descriptive hops, earthy, dirty feeling in the final, very light acidity. It just reminds me of tons of mediocre Ales from Postmark, Red Truck and the like.
At the time of the first brewery opening, this seems to be the least precise of the beers on tap.
