Gravity dispense at Callister, Vancouver
Hazy dull amber, flat, with no head. Some aroma of lemon and Mead. Some lemon flavor, the lack of carbonation doesn’t seem to play positively here, a bit sticky, and no bitterness (but the acidity balances the sweetness). Not terrible, but I don’t understand why we should want something like this when there are good beer styles, and why a brewer chooses a deservedly forgotten style to begin their professional career. Brew a damn world class Pilsner or IPA if you know how to, first!

On cask at Callister, pours a hazy golden orange with a tiny white head. Aroma is quite tart, full of vanilla, red fruits and light perfume. Flavour is quite tart and vanilla-y, with hugely tart and vanilla-like red fruitiness. Unusual, but it somewhat works. Weird.
