Dull colour, medium head. Aroma has some orangey hop, a bit of muddled yeastiness. Some lime in there, low bitterness. It’s okay at best.

473mL can, pours a clear light copper with a medium white head. Aroma reveals a nice bouquet of WC hops, with plenty of piney hops, pine needles, touch of floral hops. Flavour matches accordingly, with a very vibrant expression of woody piney hops, light floral notes, citrus peel, and more pine. Thin malt base that just serves as a foundation for those great WC hops. This is frankly excellent.

Dark brown, medium head. Chocolatey, nutty aroma. The flavours show through a bit on the palate. Generally chocolatey with lowish bitterness. Vanilla in the finish.

Dullish pale, medium head. Effervescent and the head dies quickly. Estery-appley sort of aroma. A bit sticky, touch phenolic.

Bottle, from the Qualicum Beach market. Dark brown, thin head. The aroma has bubblegum -seems headsy. There'�s some dark fruit stuff in there as well. On the palate less phenolic, more in the sticky malt vein. That'�s a ferm that ran too high and crapped out early. Not a lot of malt complexity. The hit of alcohol in the finish is about right and there'�s a gentle fruitiness to it. So not all bad, but definitely more experience with this kind of beer style would help.

473mL can, pours a clear dark pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma is full of yogurty lacto, subdued elderberry, and a hint of cherry drop. Flavour is yogurty as hell -- ugh, that's unpleasant -- with very subdued tart berries. That lacto charater is very bad. Useless crap.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazed amber with white head. Slightly bread crusty, slightly hopped, not awful, but much, much to be desired.

473mL can, pours an opaque dark amber with a medium, thicky, frothy head -- why does that look like that? Aroma is very muffled, with earthiness and toasted bread crusts. Flavour is muffled and earthy, with toasted bread crusts, earthiness, and toasted grains. Muffled, murky, and grainy. This isn't a proper Vienna -- go back and figure out what a Vienna is.

473 ml can. Pours a bright copper color with moderate head. Aromas of sweet pasteurized honey, light Belgian yeast and bready malts. Flavors follow same. Nice soft honey flavors but not much of the base beer.
