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.
