On cask at Callister, pours s hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of artificial candy notes - not really sure what's going on here. Flavour is super artificial and sickly sweet, with blue cotton candy notes that are all over the place. Seriously, how many golden ales with shit in them can we take from this brewery. Really terrible.

Cloudy dull amber color with large head. Smell of candies and baby zinc cream. Astringent mouthfeel, off dry, plenty of chemicals and of vegetable bitterness.
Nasty, undrinkable.

Cloudy golden color with creamy head. Very soapy, with no fruity flavor, astringent in the end, and some vegetable bitterness.
Unpleasant.

On cask at Callister, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out weird notes of ginger, maybe a touch of grapefruit. Flavour is along the same lines, with the same ginger-y notes. No real grapefruit presence. I was assured that this is the radler, that the grapefruit is very light. Weird. Not good whatever it is.

Cloudy blond-golden color, creamy head. The boring Summer Ale with a light vegetable and sour note, not very appealing.

Amber color, clean, with small head. Light aroma; dry mouthfeel, weak; a bit of malt flavor, but also too much astringency, and some vegetables. There are many casks like this sold in England, but still they are not the best ones.
Not a disaster, but still a timid attempt, and flawed.

Cask at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark brown to black color with frothy head. Aroma of dark malts and glue. Soft undercarbonated mouthfeel; flavor of roasted malts, but I get an incredible feeling if hospital sanitizer, more than I can remember from any beer, quite unpleasant.
Chemical brew.

Hazy golden color, almost no head. Delicate peach aroma. The mouthfeel is flat and oily, it has too much yeast presence, and a metallic finish; the lack of carbonation doesn’t work well for this kind of beers.

On cask at Callister, pours a cloudy murky orange with a large white head. Nose is very herbaceous and earthy, showcasing the root. Flavour is earthy, herbaceous and grainy. Too root-like for me, but it works alright. Not a fan.
