On tap at Yaletown, pours a clear copper golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out traces of butter all over, not detecting much else. Flavour is fruity, with the diacetyl slightly more subdued, followed by fruity hops and some pine. The diacetyl is thankfully much more nuanced on the flavour, but it's still noticeable and off-putting to my sensitive palate. This needs cleaning up.

Some resins and grapes, dry, holding up quite well.

Golden color, clean. Mild fruity hops aroma, I sense traces of butter too. Robust flavor, moderately sweet but lean, clean malt base, the hops are mostly resiny, some orange and orange peel, cedar, traces of mango, no butter luckily, and no alcohol evidence.
Not the cleanest, but it's quite good.
