On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out the plums upfront, followed by a touch of tartness. Flavour brings out tart plums mixed with lacto - what an odd combination. After a while you get used to it and it works decently well.

Cloudy dull tan, with a frothy, bubbly head. On the nose it’s yeasty but the Ella comes through as well, lending lighter tree fruits and grapefruity notes. Mild bitterness, some yeasty character, and muddled malts. There’s also a touch of tartness, which along with the turbid appearance indicates a yeast problem. The hop brightness from the nose isn’t there on the palate. Should have been better, but for the yeast.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with medium sized head. The aroma is a bit smelly, rancid, buttery. Light colored caramel and toffee flavor, some butter mixed with citrus peel from the hops, some bitter orange in the final.
Not a bad recipe, not a Double IPA either, and flawed.

Hazy blond color with generous head. Delicate Lager, the malts are crisp, crackery, a bit bready, the hops have a mild resiny and herbaceous character, the profile is similar to a Helles, plus a mild spicy touch from the rye; it seems sweeter than the average Lager/Helles. Pleasant.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of straw, a touch of corn and crackery malt. Flavour is similar, with notes of corn, straw and toasted malt. Dry and clean, with good drinkability, but not very interesting. Meh.

Draft - Light caramel and decent hop notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Bitter and sweet spcaramel notes with a decent but sweet finish. OK.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy golden amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out tons of butter - uh oh. Flavour confirms this, with juicy citrus, chewy caramel, and butter. Not an intense infection, but it throws it off a bit. Not sure why they call this is a double IPA at this gravity. Okay.

Draft - Sweet malty almost molasses notes. Deep dark brown with a devcent white head. Sweet, salty and a very odd sweetness that is in the finish. Very odd.

Dark brown color. I get a little smell from the aroma, not much more. Very salty, no beer flavor, oily mouthfeel, and I guess that the rest of the shit is Vegemite.
I wish that a zit will grow on the butt cheek of the guy who conceived this abomination.
Undrinkable.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of salty earthy notes from the Vegemite - can't really say anything positive about the nose. Flavour is along the same lines, with a ton of salty briney notes that are immediately off-putting. I can imagine one might like this if they like Vegemite / marmite, but I'm not included in that bizarre category.
