On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light toasted oats and some earthy notes. Flavour is fairly hearty, with oats, toasted malt and a touch of earth. I don't get any figs, salt or maple syrup. Nicely balanced, with a pleasant hearty oatmeal character. Good stuff.

@BC Beer Awards. Gorgeous ruby-brown colour with a frothy head. Toasty nose, light dark sugar notes, almost woody I swear. Nuanced toasty, biscuity, sugary malts. The yeast kicks off a light fruitiness. Complex. A bit rustic. Pre-pro porter? I'm down.

Bright blonde, big head. Has a little earthy nose with a touch of citrus. Toasty palate, definitely not the freshest amarillo. Ok, clean but doesn't wow the way I want.

Straw colour with just a slight haze. Medium head. Odd aroma...there's something there but I can't quite make out what it is. The fruits are present but there's a lot of bitterness and it clashes with those bright sweet fruits. Worth trying but I'm not sold.

On tap at Hearthstone, pours a clear yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out subtle tropical stone fruits, dry citrus hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is very dry and bitter, at first bringing out lots of dry tropical stone fruits but then transitioning to extremely bitter and rather unpleasant astringent hoppy notes. This needs tweaking.

On tap at Hearthstone, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out dry citrus hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is dry and crisp, with a nice spritzy citrus hop component, and backed by a dry biscuity malt backbone. Nicely balanced and easy to drink. Decent.

Can, pours a clear pale copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out subtle floral hops, a touch of pine and some light funk. Flavour is similar, with light funk, floral hops and bready malt. Not a whole lot of the Sach Trois, but it's pleasant enough. Okay beer.

Canadian NEIPA infused with pineapple, can from Ster, thanks. Very thick, frothy, regularly shaped, dense, lacing, egg-white head over a cloudy peach blonde beer with some vivid, but fine strings of sparkling on the edges. Aroma of sweet red onions, damp marihuana, pineapple juice indeed but not as strong as I was expecting - even less strong than in some other NEIPAs that do not even contain it, stale grapefruit juice, withering kitchen herbs, sweat. Vivid, lush and exotic fruitiness in the onset, pineapple more apparent now than in the nose, mango, kiwi, yellow grapefruit hoppiness early on, rather fizzy carbo but still creamy and smooth mouthfeel as one would expect from the style; lightly biscuity and soggy sandwich-like, juicy malt soil develops under a growing grapefruity hop bitterishness with a wealth of retronasal aromas varying from green onions and marijuana to dried mango and cedar oil, ending dry and quenching. A very dank, quite typical New England IPA, but a tad overcarbonated and lacking a bit in sweet aromatics to fully compete with the top in this style - even in spite of the added pineapple. Still a very pleasant, easily drinkable, generous and rich IPA, though.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Blond color, clean. Mild aroma of citrusy hops. Dry and sharp mouthfeel, not much to say about the malt or hops, and it's quite metallic.
Ok beer.

Tasting at Matt's
Cloudy blond color. Pungent aroma, citrus fruit and passion fruit. The flavor is too spicy, yeasty, funky and moderately sour.
Unbalanced and messy.
