Taster at the brewery. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is woody, green apples, whiskey. Similar taste with noticeable bitterness similar to the boozy one. Harsh and unbalanced. Meh.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light earthiness with a touch of lacto. Flavour reveals subdued honey, with plenty of salt and lacto. Yogurty palate, with a nice contribution of salt. Solid.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out fresh raspberries, with a somewhat artificial tinge, along with lacto and some acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with lacto, fresh tart raspberries and light acidity. Very fruity but somewhat artificial tasting. Not a great fruited Berliner, but it's decent.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry floral hops, with a bit of citrus and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with citrus and floral hops, moderate dank ness, and crisp biscuity malt. A bit harsh, but it's structured decently. Not bad.

Golden and bright, thin head. Light pine/weed hop nose. Moderate bitterness, hops are more on the pinier side. Good, balanced IPL with medium pale malt backbone.

Cloudy, thin head, fruity nose, lime, bit yeasty. Tart on the palate with citrusy notes and a light saltiness. Can't say I'm picking up much rye...I'm curious as to what influence it should be having, actually.

Hazy pale blond colour, few sparse bubbles rather than proper beer head. Gentle lactic acid aroma. The lactic acid flavour is quite strong, but also the doughy yeast feeling; the mouthfeel is dry and weak; evident saltiness, a bit spicy, and this could be indeed the combination of rye and honey.
Maybe not perfectly executed, but at least it's rather bold in its category, and enjoyable.

Murky blond colour. The aroma is a bit yeasty, light acid, lemon. The mouthfeel is a bit chalky, it has a strong lactic acid character moderate acidity, some lemon, light plum, not sure about the salt.
Robust, very good.

Clean deep blond colour. Same malt base as a Lager, nothing special, quite boring; more hopping than a regular Lager, with some hints of citrus peel; very light traces of butter.
Clean, but also, very timid and uninspired beer.

Cloudy blond color with compact head. The aroma and flavor are very fruity and peachy, mellow, with very low bitterness, no hops. To the point that I believe I'm drinking a fruit beer and not a Pale Ale. But refreshing.
