750mL bottle, pours a hazy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very funky, with a very nice fragrant wild yeast character, lots of oak, and some vinous notes. Flavour is puzzling, with a strange vegetal and chestnut notes… that's gotta be DMS (lots of tinned tomatoes), a bit of wild yeast, a bit of perfume, and pronounced acidity. That DMS isn't very pleasant.

750ml at Matt's amenity room. Appearance: murky golden with a white head. Aroma: acetone, some nice wild notes as well, but with some vegetable notes too. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: harsh, not elegant, good try, probably, but there is still a long way to go.

This has a cloudy sort of lambicy appearance, not dull, but a bit flat-looking. On the palate, it's a bit funny, like acetic, tinned tomatoes, so for me there's things in here I like, but definitely things I do not like. That cooked celery and tomatoes and stuff. Meh.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots earthy hops, some metallic notes, and bready malt — that hop expression ain't too pleasant. Flavour confirms the less than pleasant hop expression, with earthy hops, a cardboardy character and bready malt. Was excited about a west coast IPA, but this isn't good.

Excellent big foam on a foggy yellowish body, lots of banana on the nose with hints of piney grain. Flavour is a semi-tart banana with soft citrus hints. Full mouthfeel. Pretty good, straight ahead, certainly drinkable.

Excellent foam on a carbonated foggy yellow body, the aroma is fresh pineapple and a bit of papaya juice, some hop sweetness. Flavour is muddy pineapple, soft hop and grain notes. Mouthfeel is full but the aftertaste is a little tinny. Some nice elements and some not so nice elements, wouldn't be a go to for me from Townsite.

Okay foam on an okay golden body, smells of sweet lager hops and nothing else. Flavour is a lot of light malt, biscuit, some more sweet hops. Full mouthfeel, reasonably dry and slightly chalky. Drinkable, approachable.

473mL can, pours a hazy dull golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with bright passionfruit upfront, with a touch of salt, and gentle tartness. Flavour is loaded with citric passionfruit, light salt, and tons of lacto. Very tasty passionfruit, but it comes through rather citrusy. Good stuff.

Weak foam on a deep gold body, smells of sweet candied skunk cabbage. Flavour is not bad, sweet hops and modest pine notes. Good carbonation and oiliness. A mixed bag, try to get it on the cheap. 5.2% abv, barcode 626990249702
