473ml can. Pours a hazy copper orange with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, overripe fruit and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily to watery texture and average carbonation. Malt forward and flavourful.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Deep blond colour, medium head. Aroma of malt and hops (surprise). It has a good mouthfeel, bold bready malt flavour, and balanced hops/bitterness, with a mild grassy accent.
Clean, good.

Mooch tasting, courtesy of the gang, bottle
Clean amber colour, no head. The base beer offers some caramel, but it's not as rich as it should, for their ambitions; the barrel treatment is overwhelming, strangely it's very fruity, pear, and it's quite boozy too.
Chaotic, but I'm glad that a new brewery is trying something else than churning out Hazy Pale Ales and fruited kettle Sours.

Light brown, no head. Pours pretty flat. Ok, it smells like pears. Pretty sure that shouldn't happen in a doppelbock. Phenols from the barrel. On the palate, it's got a sweet, simple bock base, but massive pear character. You could market this as being aged in poire william barrels and I'd be more charitable. The base beer isn't that good, and the finish does it dirty.

500mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is full of perfumey paint thinner from the bourbon, followed by apples and pears, and a bit of bready caramel. Flavour is boozy, bringing out low-quality bourbon, apple, pear, perfumey, and sugars. A boozy, sugary, apple-y mess, with low-quality bourbon. Poor.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear auburn brown with no head. Wood glue and apple skins, feint caramel malt. Meh.

500ml @ Matt's new place. Appearance: clear dark copper with almost no head. Aroma: sweet red apples, perfumy, apple skins. Did someone mixed bourbon barrel with a calvados one? Taste: along the same lines, very intense, boozy. Overall: not good.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, dull, slightly hazy. Delicate aroma of smoke, and mellow malt. There's a nice bread base, moderate smoke (not excessive, but evident), maybe a bit too much sweetness, and balanced bitterness (why not keeping the sweetness but increasing the bitterness just by a handful of IBUs).
Pleasant.

Slight haze, pale amber, not much head, big weyermann smoked malt character. Yeah it'�s gloppy and not extracted well, but there's enough smoke to make me happy. Why you'd volunteer to be the 2nd best BC beer to have this name I don't know, not very original.
