On tap at Red Truck, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out dry oats, some cocoa and a little roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with nicely roasted malt, oats, and dry cocoa. Quite full-bodied for a 4.5% Irish stout. Very roasted on the finish. Nice stuff.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is earthy and floral in the hop department, with a bit of biscuity malt. Flavour is very earthy and feety, with herbal hops in there as well, and a floral finish. Clean and drinkable, with a nice fresh hop quality. Solid.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear straw colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of straw, cereal and a little biscuity malt. Flavour is clean and drinkable, with cereal malt, biscuity notes and straw. Nicely balanced but nothing interesting. Okay.

Draught at the brewery
Golden color, clean. Dry mouthfeel, lean and clean. The malt profile shows just some wet cereals; it has a reasonable degree of bitterness, and no evidence of fresh hopping.
A pleasant simple Pale Ale, nothing more.

Black color with tan creamy head. Hoppy and roasty aroma. The mouthfeel is dry but smooth; nice roasted malt and coffee flavor that mixes well with the pungent resiny hops; strong bitterness, with a biting hop touch in the final too. I’m thinking of a lighter version of a Black IPA.
Very pleasant.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper color with light head. Aromas of yellow fruit jelly, a little banana and sweet malts. Flavors of grass, paper and dry toasted malts. Flavor is a bit of a let down.

Draught at the brewery
Amber color, clean, dull hue. Hybrid of Lager and Amber Ale, a bit of Lager flavors blended with caramel, the malts are bready and crispy; ordinary bitterness with a mild herbaceous character.
The aroma is rather interesting, a bit citrusy, the flavor is more anonymous. Nice.

Cask at Caskapalooza, Craft Beer Market, Vancouver
Hazy blond color. Dry mouthfeel; it has a delicate fruity touch, nothing as promised though, but also a bit of yeast.
Enjoyable.

Hazy golden to light Amber color. A good, crunchy, biscuity, dry APA, with strong presence of piney hops. But I have the feeling that they threw in some cold brewed coffee (or a so-called white Stout), which is quite useless and disturbs the good qualities with its roastiness.
