On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours clear gold with a white head. Caramelized malts and pine on the nose. Flavour has plenty of sappy pine, generic honey-like sugars. It's a pretty middling pale ale.

On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Fresh yuzu and pine on the nose. Flavour has yuzu citrus, some fresh pine, a bit dank, no hazy nonsense; pretty minimal bitterness. I'd take this as a hazy.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of berry-flavoured wine gummies on the nose. Tastes like wine gummies too; generic mixed berries, artificial sweetness, and a manufactured dryness that is supposed to replicate wine. It's not bad, just gimmicky and one-dimensional.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Light berries on the nose. Flavour has very light berries and a touch of pine; generic hoppy bitterness in light supply. Timidity made an IPA.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Very light dried pine and malts on the nose. Flavour has dry, bitter pine and very little in the way of malts. This tastes washed up.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear gold with a white head. Dry straw and biscuits on the nose. Flavour has burnt, stale biscuits and dry straw. Nothing wrong here, just a standard pale ale.

On tap as Epic IPA. Pours amber with moderate head. Overall dull hops adding a bit of bitterness but mostly sweet doughy malts. Not unpleasant but nothing to write home about.

16oz @ Alex's.
Aroma: tropical fruits, some candied citruses.
Taste: predominantly candied citrusy, noticeably bitter.
Overall: clean and crispy. Good for the style (which I am not a big fan of).

473ml can. Pours a hazy red orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat, orange, guava, yogurt and hibiscus. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat, guava, orange, passionfruit, yogurt and hibiscus in a dry, tart, acidic finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy, but a little on the light side.

On tap at Devil's Elbow. Pours clear blonde with no head. Damp grass and slightly skunky malts on the nose. Flavour is pretty macro with damp straw and pale malts; decent carbonation. I doubt I could pick it out of a lineup.
