On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out clove and gentle banana esters. Flavour is very dry, with light clove and wheaty notes. Not much clove or banana, just a dry wheaty beer. Meh, this isn't really a proper hef.

A poor attempt at an English mild which is somewhat underwhelming at it's best

Can sampled at BC Cider Fest 2023, pours a clear dull golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of spicy ginger, along with some earthiness and a touch of apple crispness. Flavour is more like a soft drink, with spicy ginger ale-like notes. Barely any apple or rhubarb presence. Just commercial nonsense.

Poured from the tap. Clear deep gold with small white head. Biscuity caramel malt, a bit too sweet, weird combo of resin, stale tropical hops, and a hint of cardboard. Not here for this…

500mL bottle, pours a dark rusted red with a small tan head. Aroma is very woody and oaky, with tons of wood barrels, tart pitted cherries, and some bugs. Flavour is complex, with gently tart cherry pits, lots of oak, and some wild yeast. Very woody, gently tart, and full-on cherry finish. This is surprisingly excellent.

The red-orange colour has a touch of haze. Tart, but with lots of malt, vinegar. Just super intense, more than I care for, being sensitive like that.

Can from Everything Wine, Vancouver
Murky blond colour, some orange, with large and compact head, persistent. Aroma of orange peel, light flowers. Soft and creamy body, can feel all those oats in suspension, not the cleaniest one; the hop is strong, mostly bitter orange peel.; some pith in the finish.
A bit too dirty, but bold.

Bottle sample at Farmhouse Fest 2022, pours a cloudy dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out mixed bugs, earthiness, and some herbal notes. Flavour is all jumbled, with herbal notes, vinegar and earthiness. Not complex and lacking integration. Meh.
