Has oozy brown foam with a very dark brown body. Smells of good coffee and barley though sweet and simplistic. Flavour is smokey barley yet sweet, baker's chocolate, coffee notes. Mouthfeel is full and satisfying, no lingering alcohol. A nice porter, well made, straight ahead.

Has milky yellow body with little foam, smells of sweet sugary hops. Flavour is subtle juiciness, sweet hops, mellow pineapple notes. Mouthfeel is crisp and oily but still wet enough, very nice. Not bad but it could be brighter.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy yellow with white head. Lots of dank weed with mild grass hops, yeasty fruity underbelly that is messy, yet satisfying.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours an opaque peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a great dank hop character, with gentle yeast, stone fruit pith, and weed. Flavour is very green and dank, with massive weed-like hops, some grass, stone fruit pith, and just enough yeast. Mega-dank, but manages to avoid the yeasty chalkiness in so many hazies. Love the Nelson hops here, providing a slightly tangy character. Excellent.

On tap at Magnet. Opaque, no head, dullish and boring-looking. Hop aroma is big, but quite harsh and green, lacking nuance. I like it better on the palate, as there’s slightly more distinctive gooseberry and stone fruit notes. But it’s still random slurry, fairly high apparent bitterness, not their best work and yet right in line with their norm. My brain is really tuning this style out.

2019-09-21, draught at Dageraad, Burnaby, 7-3-8-4-15=37
Less juicy, and less smashing hop character than from can (still strong hop though), but also without the pithy bitterness.
Very good.
2019-08-24, can from Strathcona, Vancouver, 8-3-8-3-16=38
Murky blond colour. Nice, fresh fruity aroma. A bit chalky but without being excessive, moderately sweet, huge fruity character, but also a bit too yeasty/harsh in the finish Some passion fruit and mango, the Nelson is not very prominent.
Maybe too young, but very promising.
