On tap at the brewery. Dark copper body and vague hints of foam, big dry grain aroma with slight coffee notes. The flavour is all big coffee and roasted barley but the finish is weak and the mouthfeel is watery. God Damnit. A few things going on here but still missing the target, a watery attempt at something intense. Northpaw needs to hire one of those Kwantlen students to help them through.

On tap at the taster room. I really got to get home to watch that movie starring Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton, but important stuff like beer rating comes first. This is just a pile of dark golden mud of no distinction, smells like armpit freshener - what do they call it? Oh - Antiperspirant. The flavour is like A bad perfume mixed with brown sugar; wet finish. Just weak and stupid, meaning that there seems to be no thought to this. I Have no idea why it exists. But it does, and I am here, and by God I shall Rate It.

Darker copper body with a bit of foam. Big rotten armpit hops on the nose. The flavour is oversugared hops with more sugar on top - just unbalanced. Drinkable but a mess, at least the high abv is invisible.

Darker copper body with almost no foam. Big smell of sugary apricot. Flavour is a soft mix between sugary apricot and a vague hint of malt. Medium finish. Kind of a mess where they hope you see what you want in it; but the more astute will notice the total lack of control.

Okay dark brown with just a little foam, smells like a very average sweet stout. Flavour is semi sharp and semi sweet porter flavours with some crisp coffee. Medium finish. Basically an average sweet porter.

On tap at the brewer. Has a light gold body with no foam, and a bit of a murky sugar caramel aroma. The flavour is indeed a lager with a creamy kick, no doubt about that, though my doubt lies in why you'd brew a beer like this. Perhaps for the lager d00ds who like something different, I have to use that word of mine again to describe it: incongruous.

On tap at the brewery. Has an okay copper body with just a titch of foam. It actually smells like the shower curtain in my late grandmother's house, so kudos to them for bringing back that memory, though I doubt it was intentional. It tastes like overjuiced grains, again that rubbery character, too much sweetness to allow the other stuff to shine. Medium finish. It's an awkward blend.

On tap at the brewery. Okay medium copper body with some foam. Soft bright sugary malts on the nose. Flavour is odd grain chewin gum with a bit of a dry grain finish. Incongruous, flavour needs significant work, there's a rubbery character here that is the Thing That Should Not Be (cue Ride The Lightning).

Can - Blueberries and Light grains. Clearish gold with a small white head. Blueberry syrup and a long sweet finish. A bit too intense, but true to the berry.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma is pure diacetyl, along with disgusting cloying sweetness - oh man. Flavour is just revolting, with diacetyl galore. This is one of the nastiest pieces of trash I've ever had the displeasure of tasting. Absolutely disgusting.
