Milky orange body and soft foam. Smells of nice fruit juice, passionfruit and guava, missing grain notes. Tastes of nice bright guava juice, tart, maybe vague grain character if I'm fooling myself. Ends refreshing, comes off like a radler, still enjoyable.

Good clear yellow body and some decent foam. Smells of very soft citrusy lime, perhaps too vague lager hops. Taste is nice black lime character, a little dry, bitter, soft grain hints. Ends with good dryness and nice carbonation. Drinkable, authentic, not overly sweet.

473mL can, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma is somewhat dank, with earthy, juicy hops, and bready malt. Flavour is nicely juicy, with bright citrus, juicy fruits, and bready malt. Juicy and earthy hops on the finish, with a decent malt bill. Solid but not the most interesting or vibrant pale.

473mL can, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is gentle, with gentle citrus hops, grass, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is full of grassy hops, crisp biscuity malt, and straw. Crisp and biting. Nicely made.

On tap at Main Street, pours a deep dark murky reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma reveals a nice woody character upfront, expressing the Belgian yeast nicely, featuring dark dried fruits, toffee, molasses, and wood. Flavour is dominated by brett and wood, as though this was heavily barrel aged, followed by some dark fruits, molasses, and toffee. Dry, woody, bretty finish, with plenty of depth. Surprisingly impressive.

On tap at Main Street, pours a hazy peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with passionfruit and orange upfront, followed up a touch of vanilla and the usual lacto. Flavour is very juicy, with a bright citrusy passionfruit and guava character upfront. There's just enough lacto here, but not really much vanilla. Really nice fruit character here. Well-made.

On tap at Main Street, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of overripe stone fruits, lots of chalk, and some dank hops. Flavour is quite chalky and earthy in the hop department, with gentle dank hops, chalk, and overrode pulpy stone fruits. Could be less chalky, but it's not so bad in that department. Still not all that interesting.

On tap at Main Street, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Nose is full of gentle lime and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with straw and light lime. Refreshing and clean, but uninteresting.

Can from the Mooby's pop up restaurant downtown in Vancouver. Pours with a very nice big white foam, stormy orangey gold body. Soft pine aroma, slight candied hops, could be more forthright. Flavour is good mandarin orange, slight pininess, mellow malt. A little wet but oiliness helps even it out. Half decent.
