Light amber, not much head. Bright aroma- big papaya, grapefruit, some doughy malts. Bitter, lots of tropical fruits. Liking the packs of hops on this. The malts are both doughy and thin, and it's a touch yeasty, both elements undermining the lovely hop character. Imperfect, especially in the malts, but enjoyable.

Can, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of piney hops, a bit of dankness and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is very much the same, with piney hops, light dank herbal notes and dry biscuity malt. Nicely balanced, with high drinkability. Very quaffable - another good one from Superflux.

Tall can from the brewery (thx, Matt!) shared with wife. Canned on 2017-09-11. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is slightly dank with tropical fruits notes. Taste is crispy, similar to aroma. Strong piney bitterness aftertaste. Good stuff, crispy and refreshing.

At Guuu: pours golden with white head. Aroma is grassy amd a bit sweet with some grain. This is a competent pilsner and worked well with the japanese food I was eating.

Draught @ St. Augs. Light red. Thin head. Has a nice cherry nose. Light body, light cherry, bit candyish. Light but not that interesting even as a quaffer.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a clear pinkish red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out artificial berries, light sweetnsss and lactic notes. Flavour is quite acidic, with light lactic notes, artificial blackberry and a touch of sweetness. Very acidic and artificially fruity on the finish. Not a proper Berliner and not well-made at all.

Draught at the brewery
Red color, just hazy. Correct acidity level, a bit too much doughy yeast though, not much lactic acid; the fruit is barely noticeable, some astringency in the final. Not a Berliner Weisse.
Quite poor.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy red color. Some nice cherry syrup aroma, also footy, yeasty. Dry mouthfeel, tannic (some sugar would help here), the yeast definitively has a footy character, quite evident, light cherry touch.
Flawed, rather unpleasant.
