Poured from the tap. Cloudy blonde with small white head. Lots of kettle sour character with undernotes of spruce. Actually sort of works together, but still needs refining.

@Alibi. Hazy, thin head, light tan. On the nose, this is tart with noticeable spruce.. A bit flat, touch of acetic, lots of spruce, which works really well in a sour. Maybe not the most refined, with the flat kettle sour notes, but nonetheless I like it.

Draft - Sweet and bright leafy notes. Clearish pale gold with a decent white head. Light fruity tartness and some grains and a bit of a biter herbal note. I can sense where they were going, just didn’t quite make it.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color, persistent compact head. The aroma is sour, funky and fruity; layered feelings, very interesting (7.5). Dry mouthfeel, weak too; the funky character unfortunately mingles with vegetable feelings; vinous, acetic; there is an extraneous element, that could be the spruce. The result is messy and not necessarily very pleasant, although the aroma was inviting.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours an opaque cloudy orangey yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a lot of the spruce, along with stone fruits and some lingering bitterness. Flavour is bizarre, with a strange mix of spruce, stone fruits, metallic notes and bittering hops. It doesn't work so well together - pretty disharmonious. The unpleasant metallic bitterness lingers too much. Not a disaster but this is a big miss from Moon.
