5oz pour at brewery. Pours hazy deep yellow with white head. Aroma has dank pine, dry floral notes. Flavour has light orange, bright pine, a touch of resin, some floral notes. Not super exciting, but still a nice combination of WC hops and floral notes.

On tap at R&B, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a strange herbal hop character, with candied notes, and caramel — not a great hop expression or balance. Flavour is chaotic, with lots of harsh hops that are all over the place, excessive sweetness, plenty of booze, and just overall piss poor balance and structure. This is a totally uncoordinated mess. Hardly anything good to say about this other than it's not infected.

Pint at Steamworks. Pours dark brown. Aroma has some toasted malts and espresso - the tiramisu definitely comes through. Flavour is mostly toasted malts and espresso. Not the most complex but still pretty good.

Hazy, a bit dull, thin head. Light body, slight citrus, mild bitterness. Hop isn'�t bright, but the wheaty character isn'�t bad.

Bronze sort of colour with chill haze. Medium head. Rich bitterness, malts have a biscuity note but are otherwise on the sticky side and there'�s a fair bit of alcohol kicking into the finish.
