Goof mellow gold body and soft white foam head. Very light grain aroma, gotta really stick the nose in there. Flavour is a slight funky grain with a bit of sugar and finish that's medium to dry. Not a bad lager, has some craft brew notes to make it a little memorable.

Nice foam on top and good clear light gold body. Soft lemony dry white bread aroma. Flavour is funky grain with citrus notes and a dry finish. Pretty nice, well made.

On tap at East Van, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, with a bit of dank ness, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with piney hops and a thin biscuity malt backbone. Crisp and vibrant. Solid but nothing special.

On tap at East Van, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp crackery malt, dry piney hops, and some cereal graininess. Flavour is very dry and crisp, with toasted grains, dry citrus hops, and crisp crackery malt. A bit astringent, but it's clean and crisp, making drinkability pretty high. Decent.

Light amber colour, just hazy, compact head. The aroma is too mild, the mouthfeel is slightly drier than expected, but it has a good malt base, mellow, bread, honey; balanced bitterness. Very clean.
As good as a Maibock can be.

Hazy blond color. The Farmhouse character is timid like in the base Nordic Saison, but this one is drier and less soft, and there is no evidence of oak.
Shy beer, I prefer the Nordic Saison though.

Hazy blond color. Smooth, soft, with timid yeast character, a bit papery and peppery, low bitterness, some esters in the final.
Not bad, but too shy. It has something more than the Oaked variant.

Hazy blond colour. Dry and lean, some alcohol feeling, the malt base is not very impressive, quite strong bitterness but without much hop quality, some hop resins, light dank.
A modern IIPA, not very happily executed, but decent nonetheless.

Hazy pale blond color, generous head. Delicate Pilsner aroma, crisp malts and grassy hops. Soft moutfeel, with a sweetish feeling, but balanced by correct bitterness; crackery malt base, and noble hops character, maybe a bit resiny in the final; also some pithy bitterness that lowers the mark.
The profile is similar to the Persephone Amarillo Pilsner; more Pilsner than IPL, very good.

Draught at the brewery
Light amber color, very clean. The aroma is quite dank, a bit biscuity. Good body strength, quite some residual sweetness still, the malt has some bread and grains character, but it's mellow, with a touch of sweet caramel, the hopping is moderately resiny, very light weed, very light orange.
Good.
