Poured from the tap. Clear-ish pale blonde with small white head. Seems pretty clear for a hazy, but that’s how it’s clearly labeled on the board. Melon and tropical hops, a slightly sweet creamy texture. Maintains decent flavour for such low ABV.

On tap at Another Beer Co, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle straw and biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp but rough, with a rather husky malt character that's full of an earthy astringency, toasted grains, straw and grass. Fairly bitter, husky and dry. Not all that indicative of a genuine keller — it's a bit too rough. Pleasant enough but needs smoothing over.

On tap at Another Beer Co, pours an opaque murky dark amber pink with a small white head. Aroma is very sweet and fruity, with lots of lactose, blackberry and peach. Flavour has slight metallic astringency along with lactose, blackberry and a touch of peach. If you're gonna do this dumb style, at least iron out the kinks. Rough and clumsy.

On tap at Another Beer Co, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has lots of mineraly notes, some lacto and straw. Flavour is gently tart, with lacto, straw and some mineraly notes. Perhaps they've fixed this since Oakes sampled it, or he was particularly grumpy that day. Nothing special, but it's competently made.

473mL can, priced absurdly at $11 plus tax (wtf is up with that for a can of non-BA impie stout?) -- pours black with a small beige head. Nose brings out plenty of roasted malt, with hints of coffee, cocoa, and a little baking spice. Flavour is smooth, with plenty of deep roasted malt, again with notes of coffee, cocoa, and a hint of spice. Big, roasty, warming, malty stout with no nonsensical adjuncts. Excellent, despite the unjustifiable price.

473mL can, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma is fairly laid back, with medium roast, earthy hops, and a little pine. Flavour is pretty timid, with gentle earthy hops, light roasted malt, and a hint of piney bitterness. Finishes gently bitter and roasty. Missing oomph — dial this up an order of magnitude and you'd get a better black IPA. As is, a bit tepid but pleasant.

Flavour is bright and citrusy, with lots of tropical fruits, citrus hops, some dankness, and biscuity malt. Dank, citrus and tropical. Really really nice.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pale blond colour, cloudy, with compact head. Mild aroma of citrus, and propane/gas. The mouthfeel is dry and weak, there is little to tell about malt or oats; the hopping is very mild, it gives a hint of citrus, it's spritzy, but the bitterness is low+ (there wouldn't be anything to balance it anyway).
Pretty boring, it tastes like it went downhill fast.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond, but dull, with slight haze, and medium head; I can't find a date stamp on the can. Notes of jam, of overripe fruit, it's moderately sweet, but balanced between alcohol and bitterness, there are some hop resins, if not clearly piney. It's slightly oxidized, but it's bold and still quite enjoyable.
