473 ml can. Seems on to have Kriek in a can… Pours a copperish mahogany with light foamy head. Aromas of green oak, a bit of balsamic vinegar, cherry skins and dry toasted malts. Flavors of buttery oak, spicy cherry pie, dark berries and more dry toasted malts. Still a bit on the cherry pie side of a Belgian Kriek.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, tangerine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy caramel malt, grapefruit peel, orange, earth, pine resin and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with sticky, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Delicious and easy to drink.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Mild pils malt with some floral grassy hops. Doesn’t have that traditional hit of a German pils. Okay.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde with small white head. Mild saison yeast, a little weak, but it’s a table beer. Okay.

Poured from the tap @ HUB New West. Clear blonde with small white head. Clean, biscuit malt, fruity floral hops, dry grass finish. Decent, but bit of an odd Pilsner.
