On tap at Callister with Ash. Pours an opaque cherry compot color with a weak rose head. Aroma is medium sweet with cherry and raspberry notes. Taste is very dry and sour with no sweetness at all with cherry, raspberry and even some chocolate notes. Very dry and sour aftertaste. I would prefer it to have any residual sweetness, but it is veeery good anyways.

Cloudy to murky, in the Machine tradition, yellow, with small head. Lovely juicy hops aroma, tropical fruit, nectarine, passion fruit. Delicate malt base, then an explosion of juicy hops, ranging from tropical to citrusy, and with some piney resins in the final, and the bitterness is not even evident.
Wonderful juice.

Very cloudy. Thin head. Big orangey hop nose. Very bitter, grapefruit, but also some papaya and grapey notes. A bit yeasty and stewed fruit in the finish, though, detracting just slightly from an overall excellent beer.

On tap at Callister. Pours an opaque clody golden with a white head. Aroma is very juicy with loads of piney hops, slightly dirty. Taste is pretty the same with piney and some fruity bitterness. Slight floral and piney bitterness aftertaste. Very good.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank in the hop department, with lots of dank citrus and piney hops. Flavour is dank and juicy, with lots of juicy citrusy hops, some slight tropical fruitiness and a dry maltiness. No bitterness on the finish, just lovely dankness. Excellent.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Murky light amber color, dull, with barely any head. Nice aroma of hop cones, hop resins. The malt flavor is anonymous, the hop soup provides harsh resins, hop oils, and too strong vegetable (chicory, cabbage) component, for a harsh and unpleasant final (I wish I could give 0).
Selling this is really amateurish, I wish they had the guts to accept that the beer is not good and pull it out.

Draft - Sweet caramel and a bit of higher booze. Cloudy gold with no head. Woody and a bit herbal with a nice bitterness. Not bad, but the fresh hop doesn’t really pop.

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy straw golden with a white head. Aroma is slightly sweet with tropical fruits a piney hops. Taste is pretty the same with quite aggresive piney bitterness. A little bit harsh, but still good though.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity and perfumey, with lots of phenols. Flavour is harsh, with lots of phenols, perfumey hops and fruity hop resins. Too harsh with the alcohol. Needs work.
