Can - Light citrus. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Citrus and a touch of tropical notes with a light finish. Fruity and nice.

Can - Nutty, malty and some earthy notes. Clearish dark amber with a small beige head. Nutty and some nice malty notes. Not bad.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Hazy dark blond color, compact head. Mild aroma of manure, paper, old hops. Good body strength with moderate residual sweetness, quite good malt base, breadcrust, and resiny hops with a light piney and grassy touch; almost no fruity hops here.
Not ultramodern, but it's very balanced and clean. Very good. Well made.

Hazy golden color. Estery aroma of American yeast. Good body strength, strong flavor of anise, moderately sweet, strong alcohol. Quite cloying.

This is a test, and this text must be at least seventy five characters long

Dark brown. Light fudgey, slightly nutty aroma...already smells like they don't have enough sugars. Soft and sweet, with a light nutty note. More sugars on the palate, just a touch of alcohol, barely enough hop. Ok, malts, decent complexity. This beer would be better if it was a bit bigger.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out bready malt, English malt, light roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, bready notes, and a very English caramely character. Nicely made, with a pronouncedly English malt character. Good stuff.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings our raisins, some light herbal and vegetal notes. Flavour is big on the raisins and dark red fruits, along with Belgian yeast and brown sugar. Somewhat estery and moderate-to-high sweetness on the finish. It's inauthentic, but all right.

The name of this beer is about right - I mean 6% and slightly tart?

Amber-brown. This has a sweet, slightly sticky-fruity nose. Maybe raisins. Has a similar palate...berries, maybe apples, definitely a thin, harsh fusel note that smacks of malt extract. Too many harsh elements on the palate - there's some dubbel character but this one never came together.

Hazy, thin head, light tan. On the nose, has some phenols and a touch of plastic. It's got a touch of plastic on the palate, too. Light body for the style. Fairly sweet. Needs more hop. Not totally offensive.
