On tap. Pours a clear amber with a small, short lived, off-white head that dissipates to an outer ring, leaving spotty lacing. Mild aroma of pale malt, floral, grass, pine and light caramel. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, biscuit, citrus, floral and pine with a dry, mildly bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. A little under whelming.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with toasted biscuity malt and character-less dry hoppiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with a fresh dry hoppy character without much beyond dryness and bitterness, and a dry biscuity malt base. Boring but clean and drinkable. Standard.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color. Light aroma; dry mouthfeel, it has some pleasant biscuity malt flavor; strong bitterness, but the hopping is a bit hard, some hop resins, not much fruitiness.
Another Vancouverian example that fresh hops are not enough, you also need good hops and brewing skills.
Not bad overall.
