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.

Hazy golden color. Robust example for the style, it has a very good malt flavor, malt depth, some hay and light biscuits, the moderate sweetness is also pleasing, and it's balanced by a decent bitterness level; delicate Lager esters complement this beer; maybe a bit pithy in the final, but can't complain when they brew a Heller Bock with enough character.

Today I find more earthy notes, less chocolate, less body.

Black color with creamy head. Aroma of wet cardboard. The mouthfeel is soft, smooth, it has a very good chocolate flavor, roasted malts, roasted nuts, off-dry. The nitro seem to reduce the ashy character, but I also wish I can try some day a sweeter and bolder version because there seem to be some good malt here.
Very good.

Hazy golden color. The aroma is delicate, flowery hops; the flavor is more expressive, with a crisp and dry mouthfeel, biscuity malts, then resiny hops, some bitter orange peel, also a bit of pithy chicory bitterness in the final. It could be more expressive and fruity, but at least it's a modern IPA.
Nice.

Hazy dark blond color. Resiny hop aroma, and biscuity malts. Crisp malt base, lightly biscuity, with robust hopping, strong hop resins, mild piney character, citrus zest, but also some pithy bitterness in the final.
Good, modern, although the biscuity character is not too exciting.

Cloudy orange color. It has the profile of a Weizenbock, quite bold, spicy (cloves), dry, but no banana esters; and no pumpkin or "pumpkin" spices (which is positive). Pithy bitterness in the final. Deceiving beer. Ok Weizenbock.

Clean dark amber to mahogany color. Bready aroma and flavor, it has some stale character, it's dry, and some feeling of wet cardboard.
Not very good.

Golden color, clean. The aroma is fruity, citrus peel, mild hop resins. The mouthfeel is lean, the malt base is not too sticky, the hopping is very resiny, piney, with some grapefruit peel.
Very clean classic West Coast IPA.

Dark amber color, clean. Quite sharp and metallic, timid caramel flavor, relatively strong bitterness, the hops are a bit herbaceous and there may be some butter in the aroma.
It doesn't have the malt depth of an Altbier, eventually it's an ok Amber Ale.

Cloudy pale blond color. Aroma and flavor of crisp malts, and elegant grassy hops, although the bitterness is (correctly) on the lower end of the spectrum.
Not much to say, besides that this one of the best Kölsch to come out of BC.

Clean amber color with brown tone. Light caramel flavor, very dry mouthfeel, and permeating butter in aroma and flavor; some vegetable bitterness in the final. A rare flawed beer from Yaletown, very bad.
