Can from Firefly, Vancouver
Hazy golden colour. The aroma is very perfumey, the ginger surely dominates, although I swear there was a hint of citrus initially. Surprisingly there are some bready malt notes, the body is lean but there is some residual sweetness; the ginger and the citrus are evident, and dominating, without being clownesque.
If I have to find a point, I'd say that a Maibock is a boring beer which has some sweetness as almost unique character, and as such it was the right base to boost the ginger and the yuzu, for a result that reminds a candy.

Ginger and citrus. Clear gold with a small white head. Light caramel, ginger and some pleasant citrus. Quite decent.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of ginger upfront, followed by plenty of citrus, and cereal malt. Flavour actually blends the ginger and yuzu pretty nicely, with ample spiciness and ample juicy citrus. Surprisingly, this works pretty well. I like it.

Can. Deep gold colour, bright, but not much head. The aroma has a lot of both ginger and yuzu, with just a touch of pale malt. The pale malt base is clean, with a touch of alcohol, and serves as a framework for the refreshing ginger and yuzu notes. So maibock strenght, lots of refreshing quality...good balance. For a beer that sounds like it's going to be goofy, it tastes like it makes perfect sense.

Draught at the brewery, nitro
Black colour with thick nitro head. Smooth, dry, bready. Light drinking, but it's mild, and the nitro muffles the little quality here.

Aroma is soft wheat grass. Has a good cloudy yellow body and a bit of white with modest head. Flavour is mellow sweet wheat with nothing behind it. Mouthfeel is crisp and full I suppose - it's a nice soft drinker but not memorable.

On tap at the brewery. Has a perfect light beige nitro head and semi-black body. Smells of good sharp barley but nothing else. Flavour is mellow soft barley and no complexity. Mouthfeel is full at least. This is a serviceable Irish stout but nothing you haven't tasted before.

On nitro tap at Parkside, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a medium beige head. Aroma brings out smooth toasted oats and gentle roast. Flavour is similar, with toasted oats, light roast, and some cocoa. Not much depth but it's clean and eminently drinkable. Solid.

On tap at Parkside, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle dank hops and a dry bready malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, with gentle dank hops and dry bready malt. Nothing special here, just a competently made hazy pale.
