On tap at Steamworks - Gastown, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma doesn't have much of the Amburana, with toasted bready malt, a hint of caramel, and light fruitiness. Flavour does bring out plenty of the Amburana — that's pretty damn nice — with notes of sugar cane, wood chips, toasted caramel, and light red fruits. That Amburana steals the show and gives this a depth I doubt it could have otherwise. Excellent.

On tap at Steamworks - Gastown, pours a clear dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out soft bready malt, a hint of dry cocoa, and a hint of toasted nuts. Flavour has very faint cocoa powder and soft bready malt. Pretty weak, even for a brown. But it's inoffensive.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, orange, mango, honeydew melon, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, grapefruit peel, peach, mango, earthy yeast and pine resin in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and tasty.

Blond colour, cloudy. Fruity aroma, with melon, papaya (7.5). Not too dry, but the mouthfeel is on the thin side; a bit too starchy (7-); good hop expression, fresh, mostly lemon, with a touch of citron, and orange; some bitter peel in the finish. With more residual sugar, this would be great. Good.

Dark brown colour, brown head, compact. Aroma of caramel, fudge. The best quality is that it's smooth; the sweetness is mild; some nice coffee seems to be the most evident flavour, with hints of vanilla and cream (the coconut maybe, but very faint). Mmm, not much a pastry IS, but I like it.

Pale reddish-amber, bright. Not much head. Light raspberry. The palate is a basic ale, light plastic, some tart raspberry but the fruit is muted.
