Bottle: Poured a clear light amber color ale with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light bitter notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops notes with some light bitter notes with some light malt notes also perceptible. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but grapefruit notes are not as apparent as I was expecting them to be.

Bottle from Legacy LRS
Hazy amber color. Aroma of sweat, smoke, resins. Dry, with caramel flavor, grainy, then resiny and piney hops, but also unpleasant chicory bitterness in the final.
Ok but messy.

This has a golden colour. Thin head. There is some dankish hops, Spicy, with a whack of big pale malts. Ok, but definitely an old fashioned example, without any thing particularly bright on the hops.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma bringns out candied orange peel, citrus hops, pine needles and earthy notes. Flavour tastes like there were pine needles soaked in this, with earthy and piney hops, bitter pine, and biscuity malt. Bitter pine needles galore. Not well-made, but at least there's no diacetyl. Not good.

8.2% variation with 40 IBUs but appears to be similar enough in other respects to fall under this rating. This pours with a decent antique white head and medium brown body, some modest bubbles but nothing too ambitious. The flavour is all subdued scotch whisky with hints of malt, graham cracker, wood, ripe wood, almost a vegetable quality, like you dropped a shot of good scotch in your beer kind of wood. Flavour is very much the same, with a huge scotch whisky flavour and soft hints of barley and dry malt on the back end. Actually I kind of like it; unconventional to be sure but the overarching feel is great, the oiliness is perfect, this is a fine experiment that seems to pay off. Will keep sipping to discern.

Well I"m always a sucker for some kind of funky mix of vegetables trying to pass themselves off as beer. Sweet potato, sure, why not, let's see if it can get me drunk. This stuff pours with great fervour and purpose into a chalice, huge head like a big spiced pumpkin hipster sundae and some lighter copper body and plenty o' bubbles. The aroma is huge spice, coriander and cinnamon and all that, leaning towards cleaning detergent in its intensity. Mmm, Christmas cake even. Flavour is thin if not for the aforementioned spices. Christmas potpourri all over the place I tells ya. Sort of thin on the mouth as can be expected from a beer without any grains in it, me's sads to say. But otherwise a big spice bomb if that's your thing.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy amber color. The aroma is mildly floral and fruity, but with hints of cardboard. Medium malt base, with hints of butter, not much hop quality, and some vegetable notes.
Not too bad, but it requires tuning.
