Draught at the brewery
Cloudy red colour. A lot of raspberry juice, moderate sweerness, mild acidity, and very low on those tannins usually associated to raspberry beers, it's like if the planets aligned. Touch of vanilla. The alcohol is not evident. Very pleasant, juicy.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour. Fruity aroma, a bit dank. Good mouthfeel, not too chalky, with some crisp malts; strong hopping, more bitterness than most NEIPAs, grapefruit peel, some pithy bitterness.
Good.

Hazy, thin head. Kind of a dullish tan colour, with lots of yeast. I would say overripe fruit hop character on this one, which is really too much yeastiness. Full body, a lot of yeast, and again more of an overripe tropical fruit, so not the cleanest beer. Moderate bitterness, at best. All told, not their most successful beer.

Generally, fresh hop sours are so sour, the fresh hops are wasted.This isn't my thing but at least the hops are very noticeable, unlike any other I have had

Draught at the brewery
Murky dark blond colour, generous head; the bartender sprinkled some bourbon vanilla sugar on it. Weird aroma, mostly the bourbon vanilla sugar, but also dust, old wood, BO. The flavour is moderately sour, citrusy, without the key lime flavour, with some of that vanilla, a bit metallic.
Just one more random act of brewing and shark jumping. Strathcona being Strathcona again.

Fresh cranberry and a little raspberry. Murky pink pour with ok head and lacing. Tangy and sweet finish. OK for style. Tap.

Can, Legacy. Black body, but without much head. The aroma is mostly chocolatey, with light roastiness. On the palate, mostly roast and chocolate. I actually don't get a lot of cherry. But it's still a solid beer.
