Draught at the brewery
Dark color, almost black, with small light tan head. Mild aroma of wine barrel. Lean body, mild acidity, some red wine barrel character, very light butter, dark fruits, lightly earthy in the final.
Drinkable beer, obviously another random Sour experiment.

Draught at the brewery
Darker shade of blond, hazy. Nice malt aroma, lightly biscuity. Good mouthfeel, soft, not weak, moderate cereally malt base, light residual sweetness, a bit above the average; simple hopping, just the bitterness and a very light herbaceous character.
For a Pale Lager, pretty good.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5

Draught at the brewery
The color is dark, almost black, with small pinkish head. Light aroma of berries and ashes. The mouthfeel is not too dry, with medium acidity, moderate berry flavour (the currant is not the strongest berry), and some earthy, coffee character that is rather unpleasant.
One more random Sour beer.

Draught at the brewery
Murky orange color. Mild, nice aroma of lactic acid. Prominent sourness, not much lactic acid, strong lemony (lime) character, rounded by something else (probably the berries), and with mild saltiness.
Nothing exceptional, but pleasant.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver; 6.8% ABV
Cloudy to murky blonde. Ok, so Ravens got a batch of good hops… The base is moderately sweet with delicate malts, the aroma is mildly dank, the body is strong, the hopping is potent, with juicy, citrusy, orangey character, light dankness, but also some pithy bitterness in the end that lowers the note.
Overall, very good, but with something to be tuned.

2018-06-12, draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver, 7-4-7-3-14=35
Cloudy golden colour. Jam aroma. Quite sweet, strong peach and apricot jam, balanced bitterness.
Not the IIPA that sells in 2018, and suitable only for sweet tooth drinkers, but I like it.

2018-05-10, bottle from O'Hare's, Richmond, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Cloudy golden colour. Light fruity touch, good body structure, lean mouthfeel, moderately sweet, the flavour is better than the aroma; nothing special but drinkable.

Hazy, light amber. Thin head. On the nose, touch dank and a touch cheesy. Similar palate. Maybe a bit orangey, which is nice, but there's some malt richness.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out phenols, rubber, oak and light vinous character. Flavour is very phenolic, with rubber, wood, oak, light vinous notes and plastic. So many phenols. This is a travesty.
