4oz pour at The Magnet. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Gentle toasted rye bread on the nose. Flavour has toasted rye bread, and bit nutty. It's fine, nothing too exciting, but enjoyable.

Medium brown, medium head. Hazy. This has a slight caramel note, whole grain bread, slight dark sugar in there as well. Decent. This is non-vegan, for some reason, but you don't really notice the lactose.

Can, from the brewery, courtesy of microakes. Opaque, kind of a peach juice colour. Very thin head. On the nose, this has a fair bit of lychee, stone fruit and florals, with a touch of alcohol. On the palate, I find this quite well balanced for a hazy DIPA. True, the malts are still a bit lacking, muddled, but the body is big enough, and the hops are very bright. The alcohol kick in the finish dries it out quite nicely, too. I only had one can, but if I can find more I might just do that. S&O may not get the hype for their IPAs.

[notes] Poured from the tap @ FHF 2023 (Aug 12, 2023). Quite hazy reddish orange. Kettle sour with blackberry and apricot, meh.

Sparkling gold, small white head. Light fruity nose. Big body, smooth malt in back. Big long hop finish. Complex and well balanced

586 ml can. Pours a bright amber with light head. Aromas of bready malts, dank piney hops, and candied citrus. Flavors follow same with additional pineapple. Bitter finish. Clean. But I’d say old school West Coast IPA along the lines of Fat Tug. Smaller can would be nice…

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark blond colour, clean. The aroma is too mild, just faint bread. The mouthfeel is round, full (for the style), with strong malt presence, toasty notes, breadcrust; the bitterness is not shy either, with some grassy and herbaceous hops. Long finish.
Good.

355mL can. Pours almost clear amber with small white head. Aroma has plenty of sweet and grainy malts, light brown sugar, vanilla. Flavour has a lot of wheaty malts, some sugars, a bit of vanilla. Tastes more like a wheat wine than a barley wine. Seems pretty ham-fisted, but still okay.

473mL can pours very dark brown with small beige head. Aroma has roasted malt and toasted coconut. Flavour has toasty malts, almost burnt coconut. Fantastic Caribbean stout, dry and well-balanced.

Poured from 568mL can. Clear gold with white head. Lots of citrus and pine hops with a touch of biscuit malt. Quite good, especially for a local.
