Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is mildly fruity, more fruit flavor; the base beer is not interesting.
Simple offer, some less demanding people may like it.

Draught at the brewery; 10 oz; 7%
Dark Amber color, almost mahogany, hazy, with creamy head. The aroma has a yeast trace, lightly cheesy. Malt and caramel flavor, nice but timid, with light residual sweetness, and light yeast character, earthy. The bitterness is on the low side, although some roasted nuts in the final compensate.
Clean, nice, if not daring.

Cask at Caskapalooza, Craft Beer Market, Vancouver
Hazy amber color. This beer has a very good malt flavor, gently caramelized sugars, some sugar floss, sweet bit not thick or syrupy; nicely hopped and decently fruity, although the aroma is not very strong, and surprisingly the hops are not the highlight here.
Excellent.

Draft @ Red Racer. Amber and hazy. Really big grapefruit - not the most authentic, but bright. Bit yeasty, and a bit too much malt, but pleasant.

On cask at Craft Beer Market, pours a cloudy amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out lots of pineapple and mangos. Flavour is loaded with tropical fruits and an absurd amount of residual candied sugars. Cloyingly sweet and a total mess. Nasty.

On tap at Nita Lake Lodge, pours a cloudy dark orangey brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out sweet grapefruit, like they added lots of citrus zest and sweetened it up. Flavour matches accordingly, with grapefruit zest and a sweet juicy quality. Not a beer of elegance but it's easy to drink. Decent.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Medium-dark chestnut brown colour with off-white beige head. Light nutty roast malt with very subtle hints of milk chocolate and caramel. Mild and simple.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Medium-dark auburn brown with biege head. Aroma has a mix of spices and maple - a mild chai, some cardamom, almost a burdock and dandelion like spice. Flavour same with very mild nuttiness, dissipates quickly to a slightly watery finish.

Draught at Darby’s Public House, Vancouver
Dark brown color, almost no head. Light aroma of maple and spices, a bit artificial like a donut. Dry mouthfeel, a bit of caramel flavor, maple, and light spices. The lack of sweetness doesn’t go well with the maple.
Not interesting, a bit weird.

Draft - Dark fruit, raisin and chocolate. Deep maroon with a decent light brown head. Taste of raisin and cocoa with a nice sweetness. Not bad for a mild, although a touch on the rich side and abv is a bit high.
