Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color with large head. Mild aroma of caramel and apples (usually not a good sign). Highly carbonated (there has been some infection and refermentation in the bottle); thin body; sweet caramel flavor, with an impression of smoke, apple esters; low bitterness level. The first impression was terrible, but getting warmer it gets more drinkable, although it’s still candyish.
Flawed and off target, but not offensive.

Draught at the brewpub
Murky blond color with creamy head. Smooth, round, quite bready, a bit spicy, but too much yeasty, and therefore the final is slightly metallic; it should be cleaned up a bit.

Draught at the brewpub, 6.5% ABV
Hazy golden color with small head. The aroma is a bit fruity and footy. Good body; moderate acidity, some Brett, but the rye creates a dusty feeling.

Draft - Lots of wheat with some light banana. Very cloudy yellow/gold with a decent white head. Wheat flavours and a bit of bitterness with only a slight banana taste. Finish is a bit starchy.

Medium amber-brown. Aroma is apple jolly rancher...mmmm...acetaldehyde and too much sugar. Sweet, vague caramel, not a lot of character, just sweet ephemeral candy nothing. Just terrible.

Dark brown. Sweetish slightly chocolatey aroma. Sweet but thin, touch of chocolate, kind of a simple beer, but it’s not bad.
