Pinkish and opaque. Nice bright fruit - I'd say the berries are dominant and the apricots lend juicy acidity in the finish. I wonder if these are the train track blackberries from behind the brewery. Anyway, it comes together well.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy bright pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out pithy stone fruits, blackberry, and a hint of apricot — lots of lacto in back. Flavour is a full on kettle sour, with blackberry pith, lacto, and more lacto. Too much kettle sour nonsense here. Lame.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Copper colour, clean and bright. Aroma of bread, and caramel. Full bodied; the malt profile is very bready, it doesn't have the depth of a Barley Wine, but it's tasty; strong bitterness, touch of toffee, and some alcohol in the finish.

22oz @ Ryan's. Appearance: almost clear pale copper with a white head. Aroma: malty, sweet, perfumy. Taste: along the same lines, boozy, bitter, harsh. Overall: nah.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear amber orange with small white head. Fruitcake and caramel malt, alcohol hidden for the abv, not ton of other complexity here. Decent, but a bit one note.

Opaque, pale, medium head. Aroma has a lot of banana, pushing the limits, wheaty, lends this a fair acidity, med-full body. On the palate, yup lots of banana. A slight wonkiness here, the ferm still needs a little work, but it'�s not far off, I think the temp went a touch high.

Opaque, pale, thick head. Passionfruit and lime come in and there'�s tartness, pale malt, moderate bitterness.

Pale and bright with a thick head. Light pamplemousse nose, grainy pale malt, low bitterness, not actually much grapefruit. Would benefit from more fruit if that'�s the direction they'�re going.

Hazy pale, touch of tan, thin head. Touch of tartness, the lemon is nice, comes across well. Bready malt body. Medium bitterness but it works much better with lemon of course.
