On tap at Howe Sound, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals saison yeast, floral notes, and fruity esters—maybe a little bubblegum. Flavour is on the drier side, but still reveals a lot of esters, floral notes, and spicy rustic saison yeast. Spicy, floral finish. Pleasant.

On tap at Howe Sound, pours an opaque golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very muddled, with citrus hops, yeastiness, and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite yeasty (damn kveik yeast), with citrusy and earthy hops, and backed by biscuity malt. As usual, this yeast doesn't work well in IPAs. Meh.

On tap at Howe Sound, pours a cloudy bright golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with yogurty notes, with citrus hops and truckloads of lacto—yeuch. Flavour is pretty much just a yogurt bomb—lots of yogurty lacto. This isn't pleasant at all.

On tap at Howe Sound, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grapefruit notes, subdued citrus hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is uninteresting, with gentle grapefruit bitterness and citrus hops. Crisp bitter finish. Ordinary.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out toasted chestnuts, brown sugar, Belgian yeast and candi sugar. Flavour is along the same lines, with candi sugar, toasted nuts, and Belgian yeast. The residual sweetness is fairly low for the style, with a nice burnt brown sugar / molasses character. Very well-made.

355mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a medium white head. Nose is full of yogurty lacto, moderate citrus, and plenty of saline. Flavour is loaded with saline: tons of salt and citrusy notes. Big lacto underbelly. Too salty and briny, with nothing complex about this. Not a fan.

Blond colour, cloudy to murky. Nice arom aof citrusy hops. Good body strength, bit of cereals and malt flavour, moderate citrusy hops, with a touch of pine; balanced bitterness; the chalkiness (oats) is very light, luckily.
Pretty enjoyable.

Dull murky sort of appearance. I mean there's a nice head on it, but the body isn't appetizing in the least. The usual tropical and citrus hop notes on the aroma. On the palate, it's got some body, but the malt character isn't much to speak of. That's a shame because there's some lively coniferous and citrusy hop notes, like bright and happy versions of classic C-hops. So the oat thing is messy, but those local cascades are fine. IIRC this isn't the first Myrtle Meadows fresh hop beer that's had a really good hop character - the current EOTM at Brassneck uses their Chinooks and has a similarly impressive take on the classic C hops

Can, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright pine cones upfront, with doughy malt and bready notes. Flavour is full of fresh piney hops, doughy malt, and crisp biscuity malt. Fresh piney hops do well on this one -- surprising since they are Cascade. Very solid stuff.

Cloudy light amber colour, dull. Nice malt profile, bready, light biscuits; moderate to strong bitterness, the hop character is herbaceous and slightly piney; it has a good body structure, and I wouldn't call it Dry. West Coast IPA, not very bright, but also not sticky; good.
