On tap at Urban Family, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by the line upfront, with a touch of guava and lacto. Flavour is very citrusy, with tons of lime; the guava and peach aren't particularly discernible other than as miscellaneous fruit. Cheap adjuncted kettle sour that's lime-forward. It's alright.

On tap at Urban Family, pours an opaque muddled dark red with a small off-white head. Aroma has plenty of vanilla, prickly pear, and lacto. Flavour is muddled, with a totally confused mess of cactus, vanilla and lacto. Yogurty jumbled mess. Useless stuff.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a clear bronze with a small white head. Aroma has lots of piney hops, bready malt, doughy notes and a touch of earthiness. Flavour has bready malt, piney hops, and some earthy notes. Bready and piney. Not the most vibrant hop expression but it's alright.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has pumpkin spices, light vanilla and light lacto. Flavour is fairly acidic, with light lacto, some pumpkin spices, and faint vanilla. Clumsy and gimmicky, with plenty of acid. Shitty adjuncted kettle sour.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has crunchy piney hops, straw, and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite bitter and abrasive, with lots of piney hops, lots of wood, abrasive bitterness, and bready malt. Abrasively hopped but it works well. Good stuff.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has toasted rice and a touch of grass. Flavour is dry, with grassiness, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and dry, with good clarity. Decent.

On tap at Chuck's Hop Shop - Greenwood, pours a cloudy faded peach colour with a small white head. Aroma has pungent guava and rum barrels upfront, with gentle acidity. Flavour is no less pungent, with intense rum barrels upfront and acidic guava notes. Not great integration, the acidity is a bit high, and the whole thing just doesn't come together that well. Fun experiment but doesn't work for me.

500 mL bottle picked up at the Monroe liquor store. Reddish pour, dense appearance. Lots of mixed berry aroma, jammy, a touch sweet and juicy. Hint of a red wine grape. Flavor is similar. Tart constant, jammy mixed berries. Sour factor is more lime. Not much of a super sour pucker. Quite easy drinking, and fruitier more so than sour. Long lasting blackberry and blueberry finish. Tasty brew.

12 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. An intriguing collab here, as I don't exactly think BA imperial stout when I think of either brewery, and I can't say enough good things about Woodinville Whiskey as the third collaborator, in a way. Dense, jet black pour with a dark espresso brown head. Maybe the darkest foam I've ever seen on a brew. Barrel forward nose, lots of whiskey. Sweet dark fruits and molasses. Intense flavor with obvious potency. Thick body that leans heavily on chocolate. Rich caramel, lingering oak with whiskey notes with a constant chocolate reminder. Very layered brew. Fun and unique. Very enjoyable.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Clean, clear, and crisp appearance, bright and shiny golden with plenty of sticky head and lacing. Very nice hop pellet nose, classic feel grassy, a touch piney, barely citrusy. Flavor has a moderately bitter front, with bold, old school hop character. Grassy with a citrus peel. Definite crisp side to this refreshing west coast. Late palate finally leans towards the grain. Lots of hazy at Urban Family, but this one couldn't be further from it. Love this.
