Draught at the brewery
Cloudy red colour with frothy pinkish head. Light aroma of leafy hops and berries. Strong acidity, with some chemicals too, light acetone, mild sour blueberries, the hopping doesn't really have much impact, lightly earthy in the final.
One more random Sour from inexperienced Vancouver breweries. Not bad, just purposeless and messy.

Slight haze. Dull tan. Very thin head. Has a touch of diacetyl, lots of tropihops. Moderate bitterness, light body. Low level tropical hoppiness. Malts are a bit weak, and the beer overall is a bit immature.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued floral hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is rather flat, with dry biscuity malt and light floral hops. The hops are pretty dead. Not too impressive.

Draught at the brewery
Clean dark blond color with compact head. Nice hop aroma, light dank and citrus, Mosaic style. The mouthfeel is crisp, rather dry but not weak, with a good malt base, delicate, and good hopping, mainly piney and resiny hops, but also a lemon custard hint from the Sorachi Ace.
Well brewed, clean and with character.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out pithy floral hops, hop powder, light lactose, oats, and biscuity malt. Flavour is pretty dry, with lots of hop powder, with a hint of lactose, and dry oats. Too much hop powder character. It's nice, but not a superior product.

Tall can at Alex's. Pours a hazy blonde with a weak white head. Aroma is quite dirty with some meaty and tropical fruit notes. Ok.
