Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Murky amber color with creamy head. Earthy and soapy aroma. It has some residual sugars, hence a robust body; some malt flavor, with earthy, dusty notes; between the orange and the yeast, there are loads of vegetable notes and chicory bitterness; it doesn’t even strike as ’’chocolate-orange’.
Very dirty beer, it’s so sad that it’s acceptable to sell this stuff in Vancouver. Not a trainwreck, but it’s a homebrew.

On tap at Callister. Aroma is skunky with hoppy and some phenolic notes. Same character taste and aftertaste with a harsh hoppy bitterness. Meh.

On tap at Callister. Pours a clody brown with a white head. Aroma is chocolate and tropical fruits notes. Same character taste. Slightly dirty hoppy aftertaste. Strange one.

Cloudy dull blonde. Light stewed fruit nose. Similar palate. Soft body, light and fruity. Arguably the hops should be punchier.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of spicy Belgian yeast and piney hops in good balance, with significant coriander overtones. Flavour is dynamic and harmonious, with spicy Belgian yeast upfront, a touch of coriander and a great piney hop quality. Crisp, balanced and rather easy to drink. Spicy, dry finish. Nicely put together.

Cloudy golden color, compact head. Fruity aroma, sweet oranges, flowery hints, lightly animal. Good malt choice, quite crisp and light, providing a nice background flavor without getting in the way of the hops; strong bitterness, good amount of piney and orangey resins. It has a quite strong spicy flavor too, coriander.
Very nice.

Murky mud, also called "water of the Fraser". Smells just of yeast. Heavy mouthfeel, loaded with yeast flavor, everything else is indiscernible.
Unsellable crap.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a filthy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of lemon, earth and dirty yeast. Not clean at all but not a disaster. Meh.

Draft - Tons of lemon, almost on the touch of cleaner. Dirty gold with a decent white head. Lemon and some biscuit with a long finish. Maybe a bit overboard on the lemon.
