Bottle, Legacy. Cloudy light amber, with a lot of head. Aroma is lightly fruity, a little floral, spicy, like fennel, and with some Belgian fruitiness, and a blast of yeasty fruitiness. Nice.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Slow gushing bottle. It pours viscously, cloudy light amber color, with thick yoghurt like head. The aroma is mild, earthy, manure, some hops. Full bodied, moderately sweet, but the excess of carbonation limits the sweet feeling; there is a quite good malt job, and also the yeast gives a lot of character to this beer; strong bitterness, coming with hop resins and a good share of hop fruitiness; a bit astringent in the final, where orange peels dominate.
A bit dirty, nevertheless it has a good degree of complexity and of interest. Excellent.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy bright golden orange with a medium white head. Nose is wonderful, with effervescent Belgian yeast, loads of piney hops, and floral notes - smells like the best of both worlds in a coherent hybrid. Flavour follows suit, bringing out truckloads of piney hops, followed by Belgian yeast, candied sugar, and some tropical fruitiness. Finishes bitter, yeast and sweet. Wasn't expecting something this well-balanced and robust. Fantastic stuff.

Draft - Sweet tropical fruit, lots of sticky sweetness and light yeast.clear gold with a decent but small white head. Sweet and syrupy, little acetone notes and a hot finish. A bit too hot.
