Hazy light amber color with small creamy head. Dry, smooth, very bready, and nothing else. I had higher expectations on this one...

Updated Mar 2019. On tap. Nothing similar to the original. Now pretty boring. Original 2014: 650 ml bottle. Pours a clear clear gold with moderate head. Aromas of flowers, grain, and corn. Deep flavors of fresh bread, toast, and malt extract. 7/4/9/4/14

5.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Draught at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with persistent creamy head. Smooth brew; it has a very strong character of dirty water, some paper; dry; correct bitterness; some astringency in the end.
Not exactly good.

Wolf Vine Wet Hopped Pale Ale from Hoyne Brewing
13 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
650mL bottle, pours a very hazy copper with a small white head. Nose brings out some metallic notes, some fresh hops, and some bready malt. Flavour brings out fresh doughy malts, somewhat metallic notes, and floral hops. A bit too metallic, but nicely flora. Easily drinkable, but rather standard pale ale.

Re-rate since it's been 10 years: Poured from 473mL can (dated 03 Oct 2023). Clear deep gold with full white head. Gentle malty biscuit underlay, feint toasted quality, with light leafy earthy grass and floral hops. Decent APA. Sept 20, 2013 (8/3/7/3/14=3.5): Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear orangey yellow with white head. Very grassy aroma, some grapefruit and hop, some ginger. Very unique grassy sweet caramel, but lacks finish.

3.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 3
Nice to see more and more Victoria brewers coming into the fold. This one has a sub-par appearance for a porter with quickly dissipating thin head and a bubby dark brown body, coca-cola like almost. Aroma of dog hair, grass, rotten barley, tin. Flavour is a thin mix of barley and metal with a weak dry finish. I tried another Hoyne that was quite nice, but this one is a total miss.

Vienna Amber Lager from Hoyne Brewing

4.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
A rather boring brew with some hints of smoke and hazelnut, but not in any strong fashion. Little head, boring brown body. Indeed the nuttiness is its strong point but there is little here in the way of complexity or uniqueness.
