On tap at Vancouver Island, pours a clear bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is very harsh, with intense pine cones, maybe some sourness, a little butter - smells extremely rough. Flavour is likewise extremely rough, with bitter pine cones, a touch of sourness, and earthy roughness. Totally incompetent brew — there's nothing to like about this. Harsh, bitter, without any depth or cohesion. Crap.

Can at Ryan's
Cloudy copper colour, small compact head. Weird smell, some malt too. Sourish, full bodied, some residual sweetness, and pithy bitterness in the finish, leaning toward the old style.
Not very good.

Murky amber colour. No head. So there's a bit of minty hop, some fruitiness. Butter, and that's most of the character.

Cloudy gold with a decent beige head. Pine, resin and malts. Touch of plastic. Bitter and piney with a long bitter finish.
