Keg at Kerrera, Guildford. Aroma has stone fruit, citrus and a hint of spice. Marmalade. Hazy waxy mango orange. Thin creamy white head. Bitter spur edged stone fruit and citrus which is elbowed aside by a creamy sugary vanilla rice pudding. Medium-havey bodied. Creamy. Flat carbonation a light prickle. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Really enjoyable.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours moderately hazed deep gold with a thick white head and good lace. Nose is very dank, the cannabis side of Mosaic dominating, with peach preserves, orange and grapefruit, some wet pine. Flavour is quite dry overall for style, notes of peach, blueberry, grapefruit peel, light but structured cereals, earthy pine backbeats, a little malty sweetness and preserved orange fruits in the middle to finish, which is dry and lightly resinous bitter with lingering citrus and blueberry. Medium-full oily body with fairly spritzy but smooth carb. Damn nice actually, less ester-rounded than many contemporary ON DIPAs and has a touch of west coast vibes to it. Good expression of Mosaic.
