On tap at Vice & Virtue, pours a hazy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of bright citrus, some gentle grape skins, and orange hops. Flavour is bitter and bright, with lots of citrus hops, citrus peel, grape must, and some residual sweetness. Grape-y, citric finish. Good.

On tap at Vice & Virtue, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassy hops, crisp crackery malt, and some straw. Flavour is bright and crisp, with lots of grassy hops, crisp crackery malt, and a touch of spiciness from the Saaz (I assume). Crisp, grassy finish. Very good.

Well, it looks brutal. That dull oxygenated brown. Thin head. But that colour just looks way off. There's a little bit of grapefruit and pineapple on the nose. On the palate, there's a bit of clash between hop bitternes and the coconut in particular. The pineapple is present but mellow. The alcohol comes across with aggression. The concept can work - I've seen hops and coconut done before - but it does need less bitterness, less alcohol, more flavour elements and obviously not getting oxygenated on the transfer (or wherever it happened)

Dark brown. Big head. Has a bit of that black malt aroma, and some good complex dark malts on the palate. Even a light smokiness, like they roasted their own malt or something. Good dark malt complexity, size and dryness. I like it.

Poured from 473mL can. Slightly cloudy light brownish yellow with off white head. Bread malt with mild sweetness, light pine hops with a bit of oiliness. It's okay.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark blond colour, cloudy, with fluffy head. The aroma is moderately fruity, stone fruit, and very light weed. Soft mouthfeel, with a pleasant level of residual sweetness that is well balanced by the bitterness; the malt is mild, bread, it's not chalky, but it has some spicy feeling, maybe the yeast, and the hop seems to be also a bit piney and minty. It's moderately juicy. Good.

This is a bit hazy, dullish. Balanced bitterness, sort of a heavier bready malt character. Not bad.

Hazy pink, has a light fruity cherry character, with a fair bit of sweetness and a touch of tartness.

Can. First one of these I've had, given local accent with a pinot barrel. Dark brown. The aroma is that of a lighter stout, a bit toasty. Comes across with a lot of alcohol but fairly simple character, just toast, a bit of coffee, and even the wine barrel doesn't really lend a whole lot of accent, just a touch of vinous fruitiness late, and only if I really want it to be there.

A Belgian-ish sort of thing with a vinous character. Slight haze, pale amber. Sweet and sticky, though, definitely needs to ferment out a bit more.
