355mL can, pours black with a large beige head. Aroma mostly brings out the nutmeg upfront, with a bit of odd rum and cinnamon spice -- what the hell. Flavour is I guess somewhat reminiscent of an eggnog, with lots of rum, buttery creaminess, light cinnamon, nutmeg, and some vanilla. This is very bizarre and actually executes pretty well on what is a terrible idea. I'm not into this, but I admit it's brewed pretty well for what it is.

473mL can, pours black with a large beige head. Aroma has some faint toasted hazelnuts, crusty bread, and a little cocoa. Flavour is rather metallic, with very subdued toasted hazelnuts, metallic overtones, and dry cocoa powder. Thin body that's too metallic and lacking any sort of depth. I was hoping for a (much) lighter version of Gold Foil, but this is a lifeless shell of that that's too metallic. Not very impressive.

12oz @ Alex's. Appearance: almost clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma: raw water, hops, crackery malts. Taste: along the same lines but with a strange acidity/sourness. Overall: meh.

16oz @ Alex's. Appearance: cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma: pithy, some weird hops. Taste: along the same lines, weird stone fruits notes, a bit harsh, strange bitterness. Overall: meh, not balanced.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
It pours like cola, and it has a compact, beige head. Mild aroma of dark malt and cardboard. Thin, dry, roasty, metallic, ashes and cigarette butts, no hazelnuts.
I guess they went for this one without a pilot batch, this is nothing like it was promised; it's drinkable, but the metallic notes sink this one a bit further down.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon peel, orange, peach, tangerine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, orange, peach, salt and light piney hops in a dry, tart, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing and easy to put back.

Dark brown. Sweet, some cinnamon spiciness, soft body, rounded malts and a bit of molasses. Not bad.

Dark brown and no head. Chocolatey aroma, and light fig accents. Base is okay and the fig could come out a bit more.

Murky and dull, no head. Lots of orange creamsicle character. Medium bitterness, malts are just sort of there.
