16 oz. can, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head–what the hell? It says unfiltered west coast, but it looks like a chalky hazy. Aroma is rather muffled, with some earthy hops, a touch of melon, some citrus. Flavour is rather dull, with earthy, citrusy hops, bready malt, and a lot of muddled character that I wouldn’t quite describe as chalky. There’s some nice bitterness on the finish, but not much brightness at all. Really quite dull and muddled. What happened here Old Schoolhouse?

Gold and bright, light fruitiness, on the palate medium bitterness, solid pale malt, off-dry but with some candyish fruity accents.

Opaque, medium head. Pale. Very citrusy, orangey, grapefruit. Medium bitterness and it wants to be more bitter. I’m down.

473mL can, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some citrusy hops, light floral notes, a touch of dankness, and light pine. Flavour has a nice hop expression, with pine, soft floral notes, citrus, and a touch of melon. Finishes with notes of melon, pine, and citrus. Very nicely done as usual.

16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has deep bourbon barrels, with deep vanilla, light coffee, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour is complex, with plenty of dry cocoa, deep vanilla, cinnamon, and light bourbon barrel character. On the dry side for a BA impie—definitely old school. Very good.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice combination of WC and NZ hops, with plenty of piney hops, oily resins, a nice citric hop tang, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and vibrant, with lots of citrusy hops, bitter pine, a bright hop tang, some resins, and just enough biscuity malt. This is a beautiful hop expression – tangy and piney finish with ample bitterness and endless drinkability.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear dirty amber brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma has soft toasted malt, some earthiness, and watered down bready nalt. Flavour is thin even for the style, with toasted malt, some earthy bready crusts, and a hint of nuttiness. Very watery palate—again, even for the style. It’s clean but just very boring and underwhelming.

16oz can at Ground Control. Hazy golden pour, small, thin, creamy white head. Light, sweet, fruity aroma. Taste is soft, gentle, unassuming, sweet, almost juicy. Tasty and light.
