On tap at Twin Sails, pours a filthy opaque dark orangey blown with a small white head. Nose is full of banana upfront, followed by some spicy earthy notes. Flavour is pretty much the same, with notes banana, spicy and earthy notes mixed together well. A little muddy and jumbled, but it's coherent enough. Decent.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a clear / hazy amber brownish orange with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with some toasted malt and cereal notes - very restrained. Flavour is similarly subdued, with cereal malt, some light fruitiness and toasted malt. Sweet cereal on the finish. Pretty competently made, with more robustness on the finish than initial sip. Solid for the style.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of clove upfront, with some esters and a touch of banana - mostly clove though. Flavour matches accordingly with loads of clove upfront, with just enough banana and some other fruity esters that create a floral finish. I like how the clove is the prominent flavour in this hef. Very nice.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a clear dull pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of grassy hops, crisp crackery malt and some straw. Flavour is very crisp, dry and biting, with grassy hops and crackery malt in great balance. Pretty damn authentic for a Canadian pils. Dry and biting, but very well balanced. A really nice pilsner - definitely one of the best local ones.

Decent Pilsner, but too mellow, flat, more crispness is needed, and more grassy hops.
2016-05-15, draught at the brewery, 7-3-6-3-14 =33
Hazy golden color, small head. Compared to the previous time: cleaner look, less malt flavor, similar herbaceous (and in minor measure grassy) hops.
Still a nice Pilsner, less surprising though.
2015-10-23, draught at the brewery, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Hazy and dark blond, with almost no head; unusual look for a Pilsner. Those dry malts are almost biscuity, and the hopping is herbaceous and grassy; the aroma is maybe a bit mild, but the flavor delivers the goodness. Balanced and satisfying.
This one is very promising and I will get back to it later, again, to see how it improves.

Cloudy amber color, almost murky. Crossover: a dirty Dunkelweizen that doesn’t manage to hide the ’stale water’ smell that is often found, not much esters or spices, although there is some bubblegum aroma, and the rye adds a piquant touch. Ordinary bitterness.
Not a bad beer at all if you like Dunkelweizen, but it’s also messy.

Cloudy amber color with small head. The aroma, and even more the flavor have a well defined cereal character; the body is lean and rather dry; the bitterness level is decent for this beer; not as mellow as the German ones. Biscuity, deep into the final.
The cereals may be considered a deviation from style, but it’s appreciated. Very pleasant.
