650mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out sweet bready malt, toasted caramel, and light herbaceousness. Flavour is on the sweet side, with lots of sweet bready malt, toasted caramel, and some fresh herbaceous notes. Sweeter than expected. Nothing complex or all that refined; I'm not really getting the Hallertau. But it's well-put-together.

I guess you can't call a beer a polotmavy in BC and expect the haze bros to understand that word. Dark amber-brown colour, and bright. Medium head. Toast and caramel on the nose. On the palate, more of the same. Medium body - there's some sugars in there but it still feels a bit thin. The malt complexity isn't there - it's a two-step of caramel and toast. It's a tricky style, one that I've never really saw the value in, but they're going for a high end version. Not quite hitting for me, probably because it's on the sweet side, but I think the effort is damn solid.

Golden, opaque, but vibrant colour with a thick head. Nice fruity hop nose with clean pale malts backing it up. Modest bitterness, fruity hops, fluffy pale malts. Well-balanced.

Poured from the tap. Very dark brown with small beige head. Fair bit of espresso with some roast malt. Nothing overly complex, but decent overall. A slightly better version of the regular Voltage.

Bright pale amber colour and a decent head. A pale bock, with some bready notes but a more sticky finish. Low bitterness but maybe not the richness of malt I'd like. Decent, mind you, and the aging helped round out what could have been some rough patches.

Golden-amber. Bright, and with a delicate carbonation. The aroma is sweet and fruity. Simple. On the palate, there's more there, some malt depth. Still quite fruity, and a touch of plastic so it isn't a perfect fermentation.

473 ml can. Pours a clear gold with moderate head. Aromas of coriander, earthy Belgian yeast, and toasted malts. Weak flavors follow same. Maybe good for a hot summer day if super cold.

Botella. Sort of a gooseberry/papaya thing going on the nose. On the palate there's a decent malt body, moderate bitterness. There's still some aromatics, maybe getting towards overripe but they're pretty restrained so that actually doesn't present an issue.
