Sample during the 10th Annual Day Before Labor Day Party on 09/06/2015. Clear copper color with a medium off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of berries, earthy yeast and malt. The finish is fruity with a mild blackberry aftertaste. Decent overall.

330mL can, pours a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma brings out loads of blackberries, maybe a bit of Belgian yeast. Flavour brings out a mix of moderate blackberries and Belgian yeast. Pleasant enough but rather bland. Decent stuff.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy golden color. Mild aroma of berries, sweet, light puke. Just some light residual sweetness, with some malt flavor and light berry flavor; ordinary bitterness.
Anonymous. But not bad.

Gold, with a blackberry taste. Light pale malt character, with a touch of yeasty spiciness, and white pepper. Not bad.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear golden yellow with a subtle pinkish hue, white soapy head. Fairly active bottle. Blackberry and wheat aroma. Same to taste. Blackberry really comes through. Quite a light body though with very little finish. Not a saison, more of a fruit beer.
