Hazy. Green and diacetyl. On the palate, pretty green, lupulin powder, light malts. It's pretty much in line with the style, but ok overall because they're not doing anything special with it.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver, 6.2% ABV
Cloudy to murky blond color. Nice aroma of citrus hops. Lean body, fairly dry, not weak, crisp malt base, a bit bready, and strong citrusy hop character, some grapefruit, grapefruit peel, mild pith in the final.
Good.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very subdued, with doughy malt and very subdued hops. Flavour is similar, with doughy malt and soft woody hops. Soft palate, with low carbonation. Pretty ordinary, but clean at least. Meh.
