Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark coppper brown with quickly dissipating white head. Medium acidity upfront, mild tannic haskap berry underlay, very feint vinous notes (moreso on the nose). If the acidity settles a bit, it may be fairly decent.

16oz @ Ryan's shared with Farees, Josh (thx for the beer!), and Alex.
Aroma: dirty, sour, somewhat salty. "Authentic!" (c) Farees 😂
Taste: along the same lines, moderately acidic.
Overall: acceptable.

Pale, and with some haze. The aroma has some citrusy fruitiness on the nose, promising. On the palate, there's still a bit of berry, light body, a bit wheaty, and there's a sort of an off-note in there as well.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazed blonde with small white head. Salty, tart, light lemon, feint coriander, balances okay.

Reddish-brown colour, bright, with a thin head. The aroma is a bit bready. On the palate, toffee up front, some nice dark sugars, and then a little bit of toastiness late. Good body, mostly sweet through the finish but with a little appetizing hint of dryness. I knew Smithers could brew, but I didn't know they could brew lager.

Poured from 473mL can in a PG motel. Very hazy yellow with white head. Citrus hops that's just a touch dialed back from a mild yeasty base. Okay.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Nose still has lots of lacto, acetonic notes, maybe a hint of brett. Flavour is rather harsh, with light lacto, acetone, and some tart citric acid. Rather rough after these years—just too much acetone. It’s alright.

[2021 Vintage] 500mL bottle. Pours murky gold with a white head. White wine, acetone, pineapple on the nose. Flavour has pineapple, peach, moderate acidity, wild yeast; some acetone, though less prominent than the nose. Pretty good, but not great.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear blonde gold with no head. Some mild berry notes, none of the citrusy pine notes I would expect from the spruce, mostly just an average kettle sour.
