On tap at Foamers Folly, pours a cloudy amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is very subdued, with bready malt, toasted caramel and a touch of Belgian yeast. Flavour is not very harmonious, with bready malt, a touch of caramel and light Belgian yeast. Not very special and a little off. Meh.

On tap at Foamers Folly, pours a hazy dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of rosemary upfront with little else to speak of. Flavour is along the same lines, with nothing but rosemary showing. Very pleasant, but nothing special. Meh.

On tap. Pours a light clear amber with moderate nitro head. Aromas of dank fruity hops and doughy malts. Flavours of creamy mashed fruit, spruce, and toasted malts. Okay.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver; 4.5% ABV
Dark amber to brown color. It’s a watered Brown Ale, but it has a mild bready character and it’s clean; light roastiness; not too dry, so the body is strong enough.
Easy beer, but easily pleasing the crowd of dark beer drinkers.

Pretty hard to go wrong with the 6th-best brewery in Vancouver, right? Ok sure, they don’t know what a Scottish Ale is supposed to taste like, don’t have any concept of quality control, knowingly sell bad beer to people, haven’t made adequate investment in either their kit or the people behind it, but fuck yeah, 6th best. Please stop embarrassing yourself with this thin, boozy, fusel-laden, infected garbage.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt, bittering hops and no trace of honey. Rather herbal and vegetal, with a harsh astringency on the finish. Not brewed well at all - confused and harsh.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Amber color, hazy. Some caramel and grains, not too dry, the residual sweetness hides a bit the traces of pithy bitterness, light Fruity esters, and a mild metallic feeling in the final.
So and so, I don’t like the pithy bitterness, otherwise it’s drinkable.
