On cask at Coal Harbour, pours a murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is all lavender, with lots of floral lavender tea. Flavour is pure lavender tea, nothing else to this. Inoffensice but this is the epitome of a “what's the point?” beer with shit in it.

Hazy, lively amber. Not much head. Nose goes nowhere, just vague hop, light fruit. Harsh and husky...lol...what on earth? A room full of brewers and such fundamental flaws. I mean, each brewer through a fistful of hops into a mediocre beer - and that's how you showcase your brand?

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy light amber color. Yeast in the aroma. Sourish malt flavor, too much yeast character, spicy, some chicory, vegetables.
Messy. Not very good.

Taster at Strange Fellows shared with Alex and Josh. Pours a hazy golden with a white street. Aroma is fruity with some hops notes. Taste fruity and some hoppy bitterness. It is a bit messy, but not bad.

Hazy amber color. Mild aroma of lactic acid. Medium sweet, bready malts, sourness, wax, stone fruits.
A lot of off flavors here. Bad.

This has a weird colour for the style... amber-brown. Thin head. Aroma is more brown ale type of stuff, has a certain toastiness. The sour and pineapple elements, those I'm less sure of. Tart on the palate, a bit weird, there's pineapple but more like that sour underripe pineapple. Not sure this is effective - just sour pineapple.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out BO and tart fruits - uh oh. Flavour is pretty offensive, with BO, feet, armpits, and lightly tart citrus. This is really bad.

Can - Sour cranberry and some soapy notes. Cloudy reddish with a small head. Soured dark berry and some soapy, saline salty notes. Saline and soap dominate a bit too much.

Dull amber...bright...basically no head...that’s poor, especially for a lager. Aroma shows a bit of acetaldehyde, continental hops...malts seem kind of flabby and underattenuated. Earthy, bitter, bit cheesy...definitely more of a harsh hop note. The malts are sluggish, devoid of life...nine of the liquid bread you want in a lager. It’s not a bad beer but I’d say the structural issues are more what you notice because they undermine the positives at every turn.
