On tap at A-Frame, pours a slightly red tinged brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt with a touch of red fruit. Flavour is balanced between toasted malt, a touch of smoked/burnt malt and a touch of red fruit. Crisp, dry palate. Decent but nothing special.

On tap at A-Frame, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with cough syrup, sickly sweet caramel, and a touch of resinous hops. Flavour unfortunately follows through, with nasty cough syrup, sickly sweet caramel malts and subdued hops. Total trainwreck - cough syrup and cotton candy. This needs serious revision.

Draught at Doan’s, Vancouver
Hazy light amber color. The malt base is lightly biscuity, there are resiny traces but not the quality of Mosaic, light sourness. Ok beer, but not bright, tastes like old beer.
