Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy red-amber color with barely any head. The aroma is a bit like a candy, caramel and artificial fruit. Good body strength, mild residual sweetness, caramel flavor, and pithy bitterness in the final, almost chicory.
Unpleasant.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a cloudy deep dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is very woody, with loads of spruce dominating with a little citrus hops. Flavour is heavy on the spruce, in a sort of stale sort of way. Really quite off-putting. Sourness and vegetal on the finish. Terrible.

Draft - Piney, wood and stone me ketchup. Cloudy Amber with a small beige head. Sweet, Perfumy with some caramel and spruce. Odd, but not bad.
