Dark brown colour. Fudgey, chocolatey aroma. Sweetish flavour with more fudge and chocolate. Fairly simple. Like a liquified brownie.

Named for the first lads to climb the imposing Stawamus Chief, which is the 2nd largest granite monolith in the world, one whose face is a 5.7 rated rock climb straight up.
Bright copper-amber colour. Minimal aroma - hint of toast, crystal malt? Crisp, toasty, lemony character. Strong bread crust character. If it had an aroma it would be their best beer.

Bright copper colour (hazy when from the bottle). Fresh fruity-hoppy aroma with pears, plums and salmonberries. Light body carries woody, grapefruity bitterness and a hint of toasty malts. Served with low carbonation that renders it a little syrupy.

Draught, at the brewpub, August ’07
Bright golden amber colour. Slightly fruity, slightly honeyish nose barely escapes the ultra-thick head. Caramel overtones with honeyish back notes and fair earthy English hops. A hint of toastiness comes off almost as astringent on the heels of all that caramel. Whether a "pale" or an "amber" (it’s variously billed as both) it’s probably too sweet for either. Not sure where the American hops have gone in this one, they were much needed for balance.
Notes from February ’05: Bright copper colour. Appetizing aroma mixes wood, grapefruit and toast. Earthy, woody bitterness with toasty malts and apricoty, pearlike esters. Sweetish finish with hints of grapefruit. Ar 7 Ap 4 F 7 P 4 O 13 = 3.5

Bright golden colour. Slightly honeyish aroma with hints of wonderbready pale malt. Light pale with hints of toasty malt but mainly bread and slight honey, which is mostly in the light, sweet finish.

Cloudy straw colour. Slightly spicy, slightly hoppy aroma with abundant wheat. Biscuity sweet malt notes on the palate with low bitterness. Hints of marshmallow. Slightly tart, and a little bit sweaty in the finish. Has a pleasant character like a Hefeweizen brewed without Bavarian yeast.
