Cloudy pale blond color. Light aroma of cucumber, maybe watermelon. Moderate acidity, dry mouthfeel, the flavor is simple, no apparent salt, light watermelon.
Refreshing.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with almost no head. Aroma brings out lots of crisp, dry watermelon, some lacto, and a touch of salt. Flavour is very crisp and bright, with lots of tart watermelon, a touch of salt and lacto. Bright and fresh, with a dry finish. Very nice.

Cloudy blond color with compact head. Mild citrusy aroma, dry mouthfeel, the flavor is very bland, it's a bit salty, with no yuzu in the flavor.
Not bad, but quite useless.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals lots of citrus fruits, some saison yeast and a touch of seaweed. Flavour is totally muffled, with seaweed, muffled yeastiness and some esters. How can you think this is worth releasing? Muffled and uncoordinated. Not good.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out light lactose and a touch of tart blueberries. Flavour is similar, with muffled earthy blueberries, a touch of lactose, and plenty of lacto. Nothing complex or interesting here. Meh.

Cloudy light amber color. Anonymous Ale, with very light berry juice flavor, even less berry aroma, and some yeast traces.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color. A bit smelly, BO. Dry but soft mouthfeel; the spices increase and clash with the spicy yeast, the final is sharp, bitter, and a bit metallic.
Not very good.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy dull golden copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out the chai upfront, followed by subdued saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of chai spice that actually blends well with a solid saison yeast character. Slight estery character going on, but it's not too much. Competently done, but this just isn't that intriguing.
