Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Dark brown color, near black, poured with almost no head. Aroma of chocolate bar, and light tobacco. Good body strength; it has a good depth of flavors, the malt is there, the lactose seems to enhance the chocolate character, and there is a pleasant feeling of roasted coconut. Quite strong bitterness with prominent hop resins.
Good.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color, with orange hue, almost no head. The aroma is loaded with fruit hop quality, hints of toasted coconut. Good crispy malts, piney and citrus hops don’t miss it here, and it has a very strong coconut presence, but well integrated, and using the lactose they helped the integration. More piney and citrusy hops in the final, helping to avoid cloyness.
Weird, original, very good.

On tap at Callister. Pours a clody golden with a white head. Aroma is juicy piney hops and tropical fruits. Taste is pretty the same with tropical fruits notes and low to medium sweetness. Herbal and tropical notes aftertaste. Nice.

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy blond with a weak white head. Aroma is stone fruits, coconut, piney hops, some sweetness. Taste is sweet, coconut, some stone fruits and piney bitterness. Good stuff, but a little bit less of coconut and sweetness would be better IMHO.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is aggressively dank, with tons of dank, citrus and piney hops upfront, maybe a touch of tropical fruits, though I don't get the coconut or lactose. Flavour quite a bit different, bringing out the coconut and dank hops upfront in full frontal assault, followed by the lactose and finishing with bitter piney hops and a shit load of coconut. Very unusual, and although not very elegant, it's quite tasty in its gimmickry.

Draft - Peach and tons of stone fruit. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Stone fruit, light bitterness and a crap load of coconut. As it warms it become much more citrusy, but still a boat load of coconut.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots from piney and dank hops, with toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is pretty dank, with lots of piney hops, moderate dankness and dry resinous hop oils. Oily, piney palate. Very good.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver; 12oz
Cloudy golden color, not as filthy as new England IPAs. Refreshing aroma; explosion of fruity hops, including mango, white grapes. The residual sweetness is moderate, the malts are delicate, not very expressive though; loads of dry hopping leave a strong fruity presence, mainly sweet oranges, and actually the bitterness isn’t even too evident. Mild astringency in the final.
Excellent beer, extremely juicy, somehow missing a whoop though.

Draft - Citrus and peach notes. Cloudy gold with a nice white head. Creamy citrus and stone fruit with a nice ash finish. ABV is very well hidden, a dangerously drinkable beer.
