Taster at Alibi with Sonnet before 2nd CFE Mock. Pours a hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma is gin with some candy notes. Taste is similar with moderate sweetness, sourness, and botanical notes. Very good integration of gin here that is not harsh and overwhelming. Good one.

On tap at John B Pub, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is big on the brett yeast, followed wood and some tannins. Flavour is very puckering, with tart stone fruits, light wood and subtle wild yeast. Intensely puckering, somewhat acetic and wood on the finish. Nice stuff, albeit a little harsh. I need a Tumm's.

Draught at John B Pub, Coquitlam
Cloudy blond color. It smells of glue and acetone. There is some mild residual sweetness, a good fruity character, prominent acidity, light acetone.
Not bad, but quite clumsy American Sour, no elegance.

Draft - Soured lemon and light wood. Clearish gold with a small white head. Soured malts, peach and some nice sweetness with a light sour finish.
