Bottle shared at the RBESG 2014, grand tasting 10/08/2014 Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. Golden / light amber coloured pour with a lasting cream head. Aroma is smoked malts, honey and some hot alcohol. Flavour is more solvent, hot alcohol, varnish, brown sugars. A bit headache inducing. Palate is semi sweet, thick bodied and a bit chewy.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow, heavy carbonation, huge rocky white head. Tart citric aroma. Light lemonny golden ale flavor, restrained salt and spice - a bit maggi/clamshells in the aftertaste, otherwise nothing you wont find in a (white) ipa. Medium body, bubbly mouthfeel. I don’t think they quite hit the mark for a Gose - needs to be slightly more out there, but a pleasant fresh drink nonetheless.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy, near-opaque amber-ish orange with a large lingering white head. Nose is very hoppy for a hef, with all kinds of citrus hops, grass, and a little pot -- not really getting much hef quality here, maybe a touch of clove. Flavour reveals lots of weed- / pot-like hops, with some pronounced grassiness and banana-ish fruity esters. Very hoppy and well-rounded. An excellent off-style hoppy hef.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of pineapple, grass, and sweet malts. Flavors of bitter citrus, dried apricots, fresh hops and a bit of trail mix with vegetal hints. Long bitter finish. Really different and interesting.

Bottle - Bright grassy and weedy hops. Cloudy orange with a rich white head. Sweet and weedy, little bit of fruit and a vegative bitterness in the finish. Different and I must say I like it alot.

Bottle from 16th Street Liquor, West Vancouver, bottled 03.25.13, too old
Hazy brown color with medium sized head. Light malt aroma. Lean body, lightly sweet caramel flavor and very low bitterness.
Rather boring.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Bright golden-amber color. Distinctive manure smell. Very dry, it seems to have a nice malt profile, but the bitterness in the final, chicory, is really unpleasant and covers it.
Needs tuning.

Bouteille 650ml, gracieuseté de Damon lis du CanBIF Call 2014. Couleur pourpre foncée opaque, mousse rosée fuyante et très pétillante ressemblant à du cola. Arôme de brett, boisé, cerise aigre, vinaigre balsamique. Goût de cerise, alcool, grande acidité, vinaigré, malt, brett surtout en arrière-goût. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps moyen.

Pours a blood red with hues of pink. Flavors of port, oak, raspberry, black cherries. Very satisfying but a bomber was a bit much

Bottle from Taylor. Thanks! Shared @ Belgian Autumn Gathering 2014. Amber colour, white foam. Sweet fruity nose of peach, honey and brown sugar. Strange bitter taste. Not bad but a bit unbalanced.
