On tap at the brewery. Clear pale golden with a white head. Aroms with some not pleasant chemical (phenols?), crispy, piney, flowery, looks like they used some European hops. Crispy, aggresive bitternes in taste and aftertaste. I would say it is more Pilsner, than ISA.

On tap at the brewery. Cloudy blond with a white head. Aroma is cutrusy, ascorbic, slightly hoppy and skunky. Pretty same taste and aftertaste. Refreshing. Not bad.

Hazy amber. Fresh biscuity, slightly toasty malt nose. Sweet fresh malt, not much hop, mild bitterness. Ok malts but could do with more expressive aroma hopping.

Cloudy dull tan. Light phenol, yeasty taste, bubblegum and other phenols inappropriate for this type of beer. Esters are ok, strong phenols and cloying sugars are a sign of too-high fermentation.

Cloudy, thin head, aroma has some biscuity malt, and that character dominates. There’s a lot of bitterness, it’s a bit harsh but it seems like something the brewer should be able to dial in.

Cloudy, yellow. Lemon syrup, citric acid, mild pale malts. Tart, but simple. Would actually like to revisit on a hotter day after a longer ride.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with only a hint of floral hops with a British character. Flavour is more pronounced, with a definite British hoppy character dominating in a very pleasant way. Quite dry, with a pleasant floral finish. Nicely done for what it is.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out fairly subdued lemonade notes, with a light citric sharpness. Flavour is very citric and almost completely lacking in sweetness, with almost nothing but tangy, acidic lemon juice. Unusual for a radler, with such a low sweetness and a highly ascorbic finish. Not too good.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light floral notes, subdued Belgian yeast, and a dry biscuity quality. Flavour is unmistakably Belgian, with lots of Belgian yeast, light fruity esters and finishing pronouncedly floral. Clean and well-balanced, with a dry finish. Quite a nice one.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light dry piney hops and crisp crackery malt in a pretty restrained way but good balance. Flavour is very subdued but clean, with restrained dry hopping and a bone dry biscuity malt backbone. Finishes with a fairly aggressive but unobtrusive astringency. Solid but tame.
