16 oz. can, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small beige head. Nose brings sticky toffee, big caramel malt, some dried fruit, and gentle resinous hops. Flavour is rich and bold, with loads of toffee, dark dried fruits, caramel, and big resinous hops. Really nice balanced, with wonderful malty depth accentuated by some nice dry-hopping. Carbonation is above average for the style, but somehow fits, cutting down on the sweetness. Excellent.

Hazy, sort of a dull colour, and no head. The aroma is a bit grassy, slight citrus. The palate is slightly sticky, lots of bitterness, earthy, grassy hop. Not bad.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of dank hops, underripe stone fruits, and a big biscuity malt base. Flavour is nicely dank, with bright dank hops, lots of oily pine, and biscuity malt. Dank, oily, piney, with a very sturdy structure. Excellent.

500ml bottle pours out deep amber color topped with a sand head. Nose is nice caramel toffee bourbon barrel and some pitfruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts pitfruit caramel great bourbon barrel kick.

500 mL bottle poured, picked up at Varietal. Thick and dark berry red pour, lasting cream foam head. Lots of tart and jammy mixed berries on the nose. Flavor is much of the same, tart blueberries, wild notes, and a minty cool finish that leads ro a near toothpaste like effect on the lingering palate. Fun and tasty brew.

On tap at The Tap (Yakima), pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied orange peel, some tropical fruits, and some citrus hops. Flavour is fairly fruity, with a faded citrus hop character and some tropical fruit. This beer doesn't seem in the best shape — seems like not the freshest hops (thanks The Tap). Decent.

On tap at Varietal, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of dank hoppiness, a touch of juiciness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has some dank, piney hops upfront, backed with a crisp biscuity malt base. Dank, piney finish. Nicely made.

On tap at Varietal, pours a cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is disgusting, with harsh chalk galore and a touch of dank hops — that's putrid. Flavour is very off-putting, with chalk galore, harsh dankness, and muddled earthiness. Way too chalky — usual problems with this garbage style for idiots who don't like beer.
