473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out a decent rustic farmhouse character, with toasted grains, straw, and sweet malt -- not really getting any vinous character. Flavour is on the sweet side for a saison, with some esters, rustic notes, sweet cereal grains, and maybe a touch of vinous character but it's pretty faint. Competently brewed, but this one seems to need more attenuation to get rid of the sugars, and needs more wine barrel presence for the barrels to be worth the trouble. As is, it's alright.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 07/06/2022). Clear blonde gold with small white head. Sweet corn malt, actually quite clean and crisp. Well done for this style.

473mL can, pours a crystal clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweet corn, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is gently sweet, with a pleasant sweet corn character, straw, and a hint of biscuity malt. Nice corn-like sweetness. For a swilly pale lager, it's not so bad.

Poured from the tap @ VCBW. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Quite chalky, some citrus hops, it’s decent, but dirty.

Can from Jak's Parkcrest, Burnaby
Amber colour, bright, but dangerously dark (for 2022). Mild aroma, piney resins. Not too much throwback, but still more caramel than one would need;at least the mouthfeel is lean, not sticky; resinous hops, orange peel, and earthy character; as expected, strong bitterness.
West Coast IPA full steam, old style.

Nice medium clearish gold body and okay foam. Smells of soft corn and cracker, vague hay. Taste is mellow honeyed cracker, finishing way too wet. Would work much better if it wasn't so watery.

Okay hazy gold body and okay foam. Nice sweet aroma reminiscent of grenadine, maybe some hops too. Taste is bitter pine, resin, soft vegetal notes. Ends chalky with lingering resin. Not a bad hoppy beer, one dimensional for sure but nice nonetheless.

Cloudy yellow body and okay foam. Tart orange aroma, soft chemical lemon hints. Taste is tart pineapple juice, pulp included, finishing with lingering sweetness and bitter grapefruit. Kind of a mixed bag, rather forgettable.
