Cloudy gold, white head. Fruity, lightly dank hop nose and palate.. Very thin with light but lasting bitterness

Pours with very good foam on a mostly clear yellow body, nice sweet hops on the nose with some soft weedy notes. Flavour is mellow malt and some good hops; mouthfeel is oily enough, some modest carbonation in there. A very good ISA, nothing lost from the low ABV and nice to drink.

355ml can. Pours a hazy orange-gold with lots of yeast particles in suspension and a medium, frothy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild, fruity aroma of orange, grapefruit, tropical fruit and pale malt. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuit malt, orange, lemon, grapefruit rind, pine and floral hops with a mild bitter, grassy finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Ok, nothing special.

Can: Poured a pale golden color ale with a nice white foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry cereal notes with light dry hoppy notes is OK. Taste is an OK mix of dry hoppy notes with some dry cereal notes with a light grainy finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Falls a bit short on the hoppy front but enjoyable nonetheless.

On tap. Pours a dusty gold with moderate head. Aromas of plastic and wheat. Flavors follow same with breadfruit and biscuit. Odd. Not a fan.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Blond color, clean. Mild aroma, but nice, some dank hops. Very dry, but not too weak, it has some crackery malts, and step g bitter was, bit not much hop quality.
Decent beer, but it should be fruitier, more hop quality. As is, it’s just a session bitter beer.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out slight metallic notes, crackery malt and crisp dry hopping. Flavour is dry and bland, with crisp crackery malt and a dry lifeless hoppy character. Weak and unadventurous, but inoffensive. Meh.

Golden, slight haze. Medium head. Quite fruity, light malt underneath that. Some oniony hops, moderate bitterness. Balanced. Well made, just not my favourite hop character.

Draft - Pale malts and light citrus. Clear gold with a decent white head. Pale malts and earthy hops. Mild and easy drinking, but a bit boring.
