On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, red fruits and some light spiciness. Flavour is very fruity, with red fruits, earthy hops, some resins and a touch of spiciness. Nicely balanced and layered. Nice stuff.

@Alibi. Bright amber-brown. Thin head. A bit clovey, with lots of bubblegum...not that I expected anything more...this brewery isn't known to make good Belgians.. Smokey as hell, a touch tart, toffeeish malts. It's actually a bit thin for the amou

Bottle. Golden-brown, with a thin, bubbly head. The aroma is banana, some bubblegum. Sweet, fruity, touch of chocolate but mostly banana and light phenols.. I guess a simple example...phenols and too clean on other elements.

650ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a huge, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of wheat malt, orange, apricot, peach, mango, bubble gum, clove and light yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of orange, peach, mango, guava, passion fruit, wheat malt and light clove with a dry, hoppy, bitter grass finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very hoppy and off-style but tasty and enjoyable. Just love these guys labels!

On the very low end of the scale for tartness for a gose. However, it is on the high end for body. Somewhat fruity, cleanly made. A gose for a first timer to the style. Bottle from bc ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Really nice ipa. It is not astringent, which is usually my issue with ipas. The malt bill actually balanced the hops. Very nicely done. Bottle in office. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The sour cherries taste very cranberry-like to me. I'm a little surprised how highly it's rated consider how fruity it is, and the sourness is very mild. Bottle from BC ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
