Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very dry, with earthy and piney hops, some floral and perfume notes. Flavour is similar, with piney and earthy hops, dry biscuity malt, and some lingering fruity sweetness. A little messy and dirty, but tasty enough.

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of saison yeast, American fruity esters, and lots of muddy yeasty notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of fruity esters upfront and dominating, with sweet malt and saison yeast. Too sweet and fruity, a la typical North American saisons. Not convincing.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Golden color, clean. Delicate biscuity malts, lean and dry mouthfeel, and an explosion of citrusy, lemony, zesty hop, more prominent in the flavor; relatively balanced; wonderful Pale Ale, I don’t remember a more zesty one in the recent times. I could drink a growler of it right now.

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with only a hint of strawberries. Flavour is along the same lines, with perhaps a little more pronounced strawberry notes. Dry and subtle. It's fine but a rather pointless creation.

Hazy golden color. Aroma and flavor of beer (meh…), soft, with a hint of wheat, and no other character. I wouldn’t even have guessed that there are strawberries here.
Boring.
