On tap at The Magnet, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of rough toasted grains, earthy funky, and some grittiness. Flavour is gritty, with young funk, toasted grains, and some earthiness. Rough, gritty and decently funky. Decent but needs some work.

473 ml can. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of piney hops, citrus, pineapple, and soft bready malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on pine plus doughy malts. Nice bitter finish. Good.

Pale orangey colour and fairly hazy. Just a bit of head. Orangey hops are past prime -looks like this one'�s been out a while and I just missed it. Lots of bitterness, alcohol, orange, pine, biscuity and slightly crystal malts. Pretty good but would have been a few points higher in winter.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a cloudy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy, citrusy hops, light dankness, lemon drop, and traces of diacetyl. Flavour is gentle, with citrus hops, light diacetyl and a hint of dankness. The diacetyl is thankfully not too egregious but it's still not a good beer. Lame.

Blond colour, clean, warm and bright. Powerful aroma, PNW citrusy hops, sharp pine. The mouthfeel is bold but lean, there is little sugars to talk about, the alcohol is upfront, but it seems to be suitable; bready malts, toasted corn; and the hopping is exactly as expected: strong, piney, with a big bitterness punch; there may be a slight buttery note, but I'll chalk it up to things that happen in a beer (like they happen in Chardonnay), and a style that we don't see much around anymore, rather than talking about diacetyl; the finish is not very clean.
Honorable effort.

On tap at Steamworks - Mt Pleasant, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical fruits, some gummy bears, and plenty of resinous hops. Flavour has a lot of hops, with stone fruits, gummy bears, and resinous hops. Fruity, resinous, and lightly malted. Decent.

Near black, thin head. Chocolatey aroma, on the palate it’s a little slick but nice chocolate and mellow roast. Has a kiss of brown sugar.
