Hazy dark blond color. It's light colored and light malted, modern in concept; but this is Vancouver in 2018, so I'm amazed that this beer doesn't have any notable aroma, any quality malt base, and besides some clean hop resins, very little hop quality (pine, weed, citrus or juice, you pick).
Clean beer, flawless, rather boring and definitively below expectations.

Cloudy light amber color. Nice aroma, elegant fruit, traces of Brett. The mouthfeel is soft, very dry, very astringent, some stone fruit, some vegetable bitterness too that is distracting.
Good, but not elegant, and nothing special.

500ml bottle from Park Royal LRS. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is bretts with fruity notes. Similar taste with lots of oak and some creamy oaky notes. Too much of wood in this. Ok.

Slight haze, dark straw. Thin head. Light fruity hop, like blackberries maybe. Light bitterness, piney, maybe a touch of tangerine. Nice complex hop/yeast dynamic; malts just enough to provide structure.

Hazy dark straw. Light tartness on the nose, hint of lemon, husky malts. Mild tartness, soft malty underpinning- not at all husky - with a mellow but artificial lemon overlay. Not necessarily the best execution.

Growler - Nice crisp orange citrus and peel. Clear gold with a small white head. Orange and some wet grass. Lingering with a solid bitterness. Nice.

Can from Denman LRS, Vancouver
Beautiful golden color, hazy; poor head. Light aroma, oats, grains, resiny hops. The mouthfeel is lean and very dry; crisp malts, something a bit more grainy than usual; delicate resiny hops.
Nice.

On tap at Powell, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy, floral hops, with pine and dry oaty crispness. Flavour is crisp and dry, with a nice spicy, piney hop character, backed by crisp biscuity malt and some hearty oat character. Nicely constructed and highly drinkable. Very good.

Hazy to cloudy blond color. Light Saison aroma. Dry and moderately sour, the mouthfeel is slightly oily; the flavor is lemony, but with some spices from the yeast (anise) it gives a feeling of cleaning product.
Drinkable, but far from fascinating.
