473mL can, pours black with a medium tan head. Nose reveals earthy hops, some resins, and moderate roast. Flavour is fairly subdued for the style, revealing moderately bitter earthy hops, some resins, and gently roasted malt. Slightly fruity on the finish, but mostly balancing the hops and malt. Balanced well, but the flavours aren't particularly deep. Decently made.

Modest foam on a thick gold body, okay carbonation. Soft sweet pilsner hops on the nose. Flavour is malty mostly, pilsner hops, slight crispness. Biscuit notes don't seem to jive in this pilsner. A solid Meh.

Okay medium gold body and reasonable foam, visible carbonation. Very nice sweet banana on the nose, bubblegum and wheat dough. Flavour is sharp chalk and yeast, coriander, banana. Crisp finish, slightly boozy. Still very nice.

Can from Jak's, Granville South, Vancouver
Dark amber colour, hazy, medium sized head. Mild caramel aroma, possibly a bit buttery. Full bodied, smooth, but not overly sweet; caramel dominates, touch of bready malts too and biscuits, but not too sticky; it has a robust hopping with bitter orange tones, without the vegetable bitterness too often associated to old school IPAs. Light fruity aroma and flavour too.
The colour scared me, but it's pretty enjoyable.

Nice medium brown body and good foam, good sweet hops on the nose with a hint of fruit. Flavour is fruity hops, sweet malt, chewy brown sugar. Good full oiliness. A little clunky but still enjoyable.

Poured from the tap. Clear copper with off white head. Tons of candy orange peel with mild spices, oily subdued pine hop finish. Initial reaction was negative, but I warmed up to it after a few sips. A bit gimmicky. Would almost consider reclassifying it as a flavoured IPA.

On tap at Field House, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma is pretty old school, with piney hops, biscuity malt, and some resins. Flavour is very old school, with lots of bitterness, tons of resins, pine cones, and sweet bready malt. A little too sweet from the malt and astringently bitter. It's alright.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee and faint coconut. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla, ash, coconut and oats in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, sticky, almost creamy texture and soft carbonation. Doesn't really remind me of the confection, but still a flavourful dessert beer.
