Poured from 750mL bottle (Release 034; Bottled January 2023; 6.4% abv). Clear dark ruby red with small white head. Further pours were murky .Light blueberry and thyme with very feint wild yeast tartness, clean and simple, not especially interesting, but okay sipper.

Grapefruit and pine on the initial smell are big. Then a big dose of malt kicks in, and that part of the experience bring you down a bit from the initial great smell. Finish is pretty empty for a West Coaster. This beer is just hops smell but zero body, zero bitterness. It's probably the type of West Coast IPA that hazy fans think is real and love, in other words. Can.

Raspeberry, some lime. Pours hazy pink with pretty good head and lacing. Light tangy finish. Decently well done, without being too sweet. Perhaps not my style of beer though. Tap at CRAFT in Edmonton.

Mostly just lemon. Pours clear golden with ok head. A little hay in the finish. Simple, inoffensive. Tap at Meat.
