On tap at V2V, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle brut yeast and subdued crisp hopping. Flavour is dry and mineraly, with dry, citrus hopping, gentle brut yeast that dries this out, and a lot of mineraly character. Drinkable but not well-made.

On tap at V2V, pours a reddish dark brown with a tiny beige head. Nose is syrupy, with bready caramel, syrup, and a hint of toasted nuts. Flavour is very syrupy and incorrectly structured — lots of syrupy sweet caramely malt — seems underattenuated. Very poor.

On tap at V2V, pours a clear golden with a small white head. This will be an Oakes-style review. Nothing but butter on the nose — fuck off. Flavour is no less offensive… just a heap of butter. No. Just fuck right off.

On tap at V2V, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is clean, with corn, straw and cereal graininess. Flavour is more or less the same, with corn, cereal grains and straw. Just enough residual sweetness. Drinkable but it's a pale lager — how good could this be?

Copper with beige head. Thin bodied with light malt and medium strength lasting hop finish

Can found at Spinnaker's. Pours with good bleach white head and a lighter gold body with little visible carbonation. Soft sugar on the nose with a hint of vanilla it seems. Flavour is vanilla and hops, vague sweet caramel. Medium finish. Quite boring and seems a little off.

Caramel notes. Clear copper with a small white head. Bitter and caramel notes with not much else.

355mL can, sampled at Cascadia Liquor - Colwood, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and toasted caramel. Flavour is caramely, with brassy malt and a touch of bitterness. Bready and toasty. Meh.

355mL can, sampled at Cascadia Liquor - Colwood, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp biscuity malt and gentle hops. Flavour is dry and flat, with crisp biscuity malt. A bit cardboardy and dull. Meh.
