Poured from the tap. Mango and passionfruit with a bit of tartness. Disappointing.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy blonde with small white head. Grainy with very minimal hops. Boring.

Okay copper gold body and modest foam. Aroma is mellow piney hops, rather sweet. Taste is okay sweet piney hops, soft grain notes. Ends smooth and slightly dry. It's just okay.

Weak gold body and some very modest foam on top. Smells of soft sweet grains, some lemony hops. Taste is good smooth grain, soft pilsner hops, ends with a cloying finish and not snappy at all. Merely average.

Dark brown body with good foam, slightly murky. Soft coffee and biscuity hops on the nose, some lager sweetness going on. Flavour is mellow smooth biscuit accented by soft hop hints, though a little thin; a narrow profile here, nothing comes out as rich. Worth adding to your cooler for a winter barbeque.

Can from High Point, Vancouver, canned 11 May
Blond colour, hazy, bright, with medium head. The malt is not bad, touch of bread and crackers; it has a light fruity touch from the hops, not like an IPA, but more than a regular Lager, there seem to be some powerful esters; balanced.
Pleasant, a different take.

Candy hops aroma, has a soft gold body with average foam. Flavour is bright citrusy hops, decent enough. Full mouthfeel. Okay enough, not really memorable though amongst all the other hoppy brews in the neighbourhood.

Can, Legacy. Golden colour with a slight haze, thin head. Looks nice. Orangey hop nose, some grapefruit, clean pale malts, maybe a bit of butter in there, though. We'll find out as it warms. Overripe fruits, peaches, a bit swampy, and that's that little bit of diacetyl. Boo.

Light dank and weedy notes with some citrus. Bright clearish gold with a decent white head. Light dank, some mandarin and a clean finish.
