Great doughy blackberry on the nose, nice big foam and clear purplish body. Flavour is subtle blackberry and some chewy wheat, hint of grain otherwise. Not bad, could be sweeter.

Nice foam and okay golden clear body. The aroma is indeed ginger and wheat, slightly oily, well balanced. Flavour is much of the same with ginger and mint working extremely well together - I don't think I've encountered a beer outside of this one that has used mint correctly. Nice oiliness on the mouth. Quite nice, this is something that could have gone completely sideways but didn't.

There's something amazing on the nose - a mix of brett yeast and hops and softly smoked malts. I'm impressed that such a thing could be pulled out of Abbotsford and more impressed that I actually noticed, rather than assuming that all that came out of this region off Highway 1 was forgettable. The foam is great, on top of a clear orangey gold body. The flavour is an earthy affair with hints of burlap and dirt and oily Australian rainjackets. Mouthfeel is full with proper oiliness. This is full on and amazingly balanced, I'm finding it hard to believe that Ravens is putting stuff like this out as it's miles ahead of their on tap stuff and absolutely worth seeking out. I count myself lucky I whimsically stashed these cans in my bag when I visited them a month ago, it's all kinds of well done.

Excellent creamy beige foam and a clear dark brown body, smells well of deep biscuit and malt. Flavour is more sweet malt, chewy yet restrained. Good smooth mouthfeel but could be fuller. Otherwise this is excellent.

Nice fresh orange and pineapple on the nose, big white foam and soft cloudy light orange body. Flavour is fresh orange juice with a nice bit of pine on the back end. Perfect oiliness and refreshing at the same time. This is excellent, a huge cut above their usual offerings.

Smells of vague citrus, nothing prominent. Has weak yellow body with modest foam. Flavour is salty citrus sweetness and puckering bitternss. Good salt on the mouth with crisp carbonation. I can't really pick out the tea, it all seems satisfactory but wanting.

Sweet fruit on the nose with muddy hints, could be brighter. Has a nice deep pink body but minimal foam. Flavour is sweet honeysuckle but it's not really doing anything. Good carbonation on the mouth. Seems like only half a beer, so much more could be done.

Plenty of lime and wheat and coconut on the nose though all coming across like a blunt instrument. Has murky yellow body with little foam. Flavour is nice lime, a bit of coconut, tropically refreshing. Mouthfeel is full with good crispness. This comes as advertised but there's no finesse to the equation.

473ml can. Pours a hazy red-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, light pink head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of grainy wheat malt, yeast, blackberry and floral hops. Sweet flavour of wheat malt, blackberry, yeast and floral hops in a dry, tart finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, easy to drink. Not bad for what it is.
