Murky pale blond colour. Bright tropical fruit aroma, excellent. Off-dry, but not starchy; good hop notes, that would shine with some residual sweetness; astringency in the finish. Very good.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, light resins, crisp biscuity malt, and a touch of melon. Flavour is fairly bright, with piney and resinous hops, light stone fruit, and biscuity malt. Nicely hopped in the pine department. Solid stuff.

Murky, dull-looking orangish, like if you zest an orange then set it aside and come back to it two weeks later. That sort of colour. All the pog notes are there, simple light tartness, definitely some lactose. Ok, typical Backcountry sour.

Can from The Gull, North VancouverBlond colour, clean. Mild pine in the aroma, mild pine in the flavour too, with some hay; but overall it comes through as muted and a bit stale, without exciting malt base, or bright hops; mild bitterness too, especially for the style. Meh

Poured from 473mL can. Clear gold with white head. Citrus and mild pine hops. Aroma is better than the taste, but decent, nice to have a new west coast on the west coast.

So back a few years ago Backcountry ran a contest for new beer names. They like to use quotes from comedies, and since they'd never done Friday, I made this quote my entry. And a couple of years later, they used it! Yet, I received not a drop of free beer, not even this sample. I don't want to have to fuck you up, Backcountry. Opaque and pale. Lots of citra on the nose. Soft malts, some hop burn, low bitterness. Ok, there's just too much onion and some structure issues given the lack of bitterness and excessive hop burn. No terpenes feels like a missed opportunity here.

Dark brown colour. Nice aroma of cookies, malt, spices. It's full bodied, sweet; rich flavour, dark sugars, and a generous spice kick (cinnamon, cardamom, chili bite); warming alcohol (it's also not too cold, but I like it like this).
Excellent.
