Draft sample at the source. Aroma is oats, chocolate, mild roast. Flavor is decent. Roast and chocolate have a good presence. Finish is roasty and bitter. Acceptable body and mouthfeel.

Can drunk 8/5/18.
Moderately hazy, lemon-yellow-golden. White head is thin but large, receding quickly to cover.
In the nose it's juicy with tons of nectarine, papaya, pineapple and light mango. Some light pine and grapefruit sits on the end, adding a bit more heft to the nose while fruity, bubble gum-filled yeast and lots of biscuity malts sit behind the hops. No alcohol, resin or flaw.
In the mouth there's a bit of butter noted right away, which is a shame because this is soft, dry, supple and juicy with huge yellow fruit notes of apple, mango, ripe nectarine and light pineapple. Light lime-pine on the end counteracts the heavy bubble gum yeast and the carbonation is quite low but mostly engaging. No resin, flaw or alcohol, other than the moderate diacetyl. Quite nice and I really like the relatively low abv and big flavors. As my friend mentioned and not surprisingly, it was much better on draught. The diacetyl must have developed in the canning process.

Pours hazy amber with a white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Nice hops bite. Palate of pine and resin, citrus and malt. Good, typical of an IPA.

On tap at City Steam Brewery Cafe, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a medium tan head. Nose brings out toasted malt and light caramel. Flavour is along the same lines, with robust roast, and toasted malt. Toasty and dry, with a nice depth. Good stuff.

On tap at City Steam Brewery Cafe, pours an opaque cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of resinous hops, with pithy notes and bready malt. Flavour is rather yeasty and soapy, with light stone fruits, soapy hops and some cleaner. Too soapy and yeasty. Not totally on point.

On tap at City Steam Brewery Cafe, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp grassy notes, with crackery and herbal characters. Flavour is highly hopped, with lots of grassy hops and crisp biscuity malt. Bit of a herbal character. Very nice hopping on this, elevating this beyond what most helles's are like. Good stuff.

On tap-lt brown-black. A-roasty/cocoa-med/dk malt, some citrus. T-follows. Nice, and no ashy. Sam is doing a great job at the brewhouse, Ron should be glad a solid replacement has come in after his many years of solid craftsmanship.
