Soft clear copper and no foam. Awkward ginger and armpit aroma that isn't very intense. Flavour is big sharp pale ale stuff and well balances between malt and hop. Dry finish, good oiliness. Not much to look at but it does taste good.

Bright cloudy yellow body with just a bit of foamy head. Faint lemon grain aroma. Flavour is indeed sour and weisse, hitting all the boxes, but lacks excitement and a bit of je ne sais quoi. It needs a little more something interesting to make it interesting.

An indeed slight fog on orange with a minimal modest head. Big sweet apricot on the nose but not as fresh as it could be. Flavour is soft apricot but the mouthfeel is weak. Needs more prominence and finesse.

Soft dough aroma, light yellow body and just a little head. 7 flavour is okay blonde grain with sharp banana hints. Good medium balance. Okay.

Bottle from High Point, Vancouver
Filthy light brown. It smells like a berry candy with mint or eucaliptus, some vanilla; a lot going on, but not necessarily inspiring. Disgusting yeast soup, astringent and dirty; chicory bitterness.
This is very bad example of brewing, not even worth exploring further.

I looked at someone else's glass while on my way to the bathroom, and smelled the dregs of that glass before the server took it away. Smells like it has lactose, with a light fruitiness. On the palate, it's got quite a bit of bitterness, only a light bit of fruit. It's ok, not the most refined product, but there's some elements in here that aren't bad.

650mL bottle, pours a murky dark orange with a small white head - just amusing contemplating how many different drugs the people who conceived this beer were on - or just how stupid they are. Aroma is very yeasty, with lots of floral notes. Flavour is very bitter, with citric notes and pithy beeries. Seriously, why brew this? Turns out The Growler's skills at brewing are equivalent to their magazine quality.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of esters upfront, along with guava and some citrus. Flavour is thankfully more pronounced on the guava, with lots of tart citrus, and just a hint of banana. Plenty of lacto in there. Not very complex but it's bright and refreshing.

Bright, but big butter nose. Wow, that's all diacetyl. Wow. Fuck. Didn't know that was a champagne character.

Hazy and a bit dull. Lots of gin bursting on the aroma. On the palate the cardamom, juniper and other herbal notes are prominent. They lend quite a bit of bitterness, too, which helps since at 20IBU this isn't particularly well hopped. Nice brew - I can totally dig this.
