Bottle from Toby’s on Commercial Dr, Vancouver
Dark mahogany color, with medium sized head. Immediate aroma of vanilla flavored chocolate, and a hint of oranges. Dry mouthfeel; very light flavor of roasted malt, with some more evident cheap chocolate and a touch of spices; ordinary bitterness in the final, with some traces of oranges.
I hope it was just a one time experiment. Drinkable and funny.

Pours amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows hay, sweet cereal-like malt and corn. Not bad but not what you’d call nice either.Similarly sweet flavours, more hay and cooked vegetables. Pretty much no bitterness. Cloying.Could use more carbonation.

Amber. Not much head. Big artificial chestnut and vanilla aroma. More fake stuff in the palate with a thin body. Just terrible stuff, like they dumped a bunch of syrup from that coffee shop into a crappy amber. That is no way to make a beer.

"A perfectly balanced brew"? Well, that’s a challenge if I ever did heard one. It pours with a very nice foamy head and a decent dark-copper body, so it certainly looks good. The aroma is reminiscent of a darker Belgian lager - fine, good, but not great. The flavour is darker malts and a hint of sugar, boosted by carbonation and a bit of alcohol to a moderately wet finish. It’s all right, certainly, and worth seeking out if you’re nearby, but does not rise very far above its competition (increasing everyday in B.C.’s crowded microbrew world).

The head is okay, rather solid, but doesn’t sit for long enough; the body is an okay gold-lager concoction that you won’t disagree with. The aroma is grains with a hint of sugary malt in there. The flavour is sweet grains with a watery finish. Quite drinkable, but neither here nor there - you won’t remember this one.

Very nice big head and a dark copper-brown body. Soft aroma of honeydew melons and canteloupe. Flavour is a good mix of caramel dark ale with a sweet finish. This is some decent drinking right here.

Small-ish head and a decent cloudy orange body. Soft citrus and wheat aromas, slightly fake but barely noticeable. Flavour is a good mix of wheat and grain flavours followed by a sour and dry finish on the tongue. Simple and refreshing; worth checking out.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Muddy light amber color. Mild grapefruit and dried apricots aroma. Semi-dry mouthfeel, light malt aroma, with some candies, dry grapefruit and dry orange peel; ordinary bitterness. Quite weird, it reminds of candied orange peels.
