Soft brown body and little foam, malt and fake strawberry on the nose. Flavour is a nicely balanced semi fresh strawberry and sweet biscuity malt. Only comes across as slightly fake, and more balanced than usual in this part of the world for a brew like this.

The aroma is perfect coconut and pineapple. Not much foam on this but an okay cloudy light gold body. Flavour is great coconut and pineapple working well together, perfectly balanced. Mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing. This is a hard combo to get right but it's very well done here.

Smells of soft lemony grains, has okay foam on top of a clearish light orange body. Flavour is mellow cardboard. Refreshing at least, pretty standard but drinkable.

Grumbler from the brewery. Pours a nice bright carbonated yellow with pretty good bleach white head on top. Nice sweet hop aroma, sugary. Flavour is sweet hoppiness and chewy candy. Oily mouthfeel. Pretty good, simple but effective and well crafted.

On tap, poured into a growler, brought back via helicopter to the Lower Mainland to imbibe on the continent. Per se, shall we say. This pours a very cloudy yellow with pretty big bleach white foam though it doesn't stick around for too long. There is huge, yuge (!!!) mango and passion fruit on the nose yet good, and not to sweet nor snooty, just a nice appetizing fruity vibe to the thing. The flavour is a big sweet and sour mix of passion fruit and mango kicking into a medium finish; not too sour per se but nonetheless very tasty, a big fruit juice kick that actually works and doesn't come across as some cloying sugar bomb. I'm not a big fan of fruity things but this works. It really, really works.

Growler poured at the brewery and brought back via Helijet to the mainland and sampled in Surrey. Yes, this is what Beer tasting is - a jet-setting lifestyle only available to the rich and famous!! Or, maybe not... This pours with significant carbonation, small bubbles in a medium brown body and very modest white foam on top. Lots of malt character on the nose, some orange peel, but little else. Flavour is a malt forward affair with chunky brown bread and just a hint of hops to sharpen it out. Maltiness is a big surprise out here on the west coast so I'm surprised and impressed. I will, indeed, drink all sixteen ounces this evening. I already had the pizza over at the brewery......

Growler poured at the brewery and brought back to the lower mainland. Pours a strongly carbonated yellow with very nice bleach white foam on top. The aroma is floral leaning hops but also some juiciness in there too so it's not too perfumy. Flavour is a well balanced malt and hop construct with just the right balance of oiliness on the mouth. This is quite impressive, very well done, worth visiting Port Alberni to try.
