4oz pour at Oxford taproom. Pours clear blonde with white head. Aroma has bright dry grass and straw. Flavour has dry grass, straw, some light citric notes. Light and crisp, but I'm not getting much in the way of malts. Pretty decent overall.

473mL can. Pours mostly clear amber with precipitate and small off-white head. Aroma has pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon, allspice. Flavour has a pumpkin pie profile: pumpkin purée, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, pie crust. Inoffensive, but still just a pumpkin spice beer.

473ml can. Pours a clear ruby red with a medium, foamy, short lived, pink head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, dragon fruit, mango and hibiscus. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, dragon fruit, black currant and hibiscus in a dry, tart finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Juicy and refreshing.

A pint pour at the Garrison brewery located outside the ship pier in Halifax. It was served nicely in a snifter out on the patio and the view was a fully cloudy orange-gold with an all right ring of completely white, fine bubbles. I smelled citrus, grain and tropical. The drink was surprisingly good. Orange zest, a hint of tangerine, white bread, malt, pineapple and grapefruit. A nice WC/NE styles combined beer. Uplifting at the time.

Hazy, no head. Smells like diacetyl and sort of a non-alc IPA aroma. On the palate, it's got sort of an acidity, with a weak body. I'm really trying not to taste the diacetyl, but it's still there. I mean, there's not really any part of this that comes together in a positive way. Fuck. I hope this doesn't give me diarrhea tomorrow.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose brings an onslaught of chalk, some gentle hopburn, and generic muffled hops. Flavour has some chalky notes, with armpit, earthy hops, diacetyl, and a touch of onion. This is all kinds of egregious -- not just because of the chalk, but because of the oniony, armpity, and almost buttery character. This is sloppy and incompetent.
