16oz can. Drank it from the can, so I'll assume this is haze. Nose is nice, floral, big citrus and orange, straw, some passionfruit. Flavor is malt and oat and wheat, straw, orange and orange curd, a little mango. Its simple but not to a fault. Pillowy finish that drinks a lot easier than 9%. A pinch of paper on the end makes me worry about the can't freshness.

Dark brown, not much head. Lots of maple up front, vanilla, coffee, and some mellow barrel. Coffeeish, rich, maple, hard to identify what barrel, because there’s so much going on with the base. Still, the added richness and tannins are pretty good.

Cloudy, sort of dull, bright tropical aroma, guessing that is the mangosteen. Lots of bitterness, alcohol, not bad though because of that big mangosteen character.

Lots of vanilla and lots of berry. On palate and aroma. Mild tartness. Pretty simple but it works. Very purple.

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of tropical melony hops, some white wine hop tang, resinous hop oils, and some gentle sweet malt to back. Flavour is rather harsh, with candied sugar, melony hops, subdued gooseberry, and excessive minerality. Too sweet and sugary—the balance is okay but the integration isn’t that good. Sugary, mineraly finish. Needs work.

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has tropical melon, some white wine gooseberry, and light pine. Flavour is much the same, with piney hops, big white wine hop tang, and crisp biscuity malt to back. Great hop combo—marrying the best of Nelson, Mosaic and Simcoe. Excellent.

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has gently allium, some herbaceous hops, light pine, and dry bready malt. Flavour expresses a fundamentally well-brewed beer, but driven by Krush and Citra—not my favourites—with some allium, rotting melon, some pine, and a dry biscuity malt base. Well-brewed but poorly chosen hops.
