Poured from 473mL can. Near black with small beige head. Cheap powdered ashy chocolate, underlying roast malt, the chocolate notes taste cheap so not a fan. Disappointing.

Poured from 473mL can. Near black with foamy light tan head. Gentle roast and toasted malt with mild chocolate notes. Nicely balanced. With this and FW Europa coming out recently, Vancouver has some nice schwarzbiers.

5oz pour at The Magnet. Pours murky light red with white head. Aroma has wild yeast up front, followed by berries and tart fruit skins. Flavour has dry, earthy wild yeast, blueberry, plums; tart fruit skins. Decent fruited wild ale, but feels unfinished?

On tap at The Magnet, pours a cloudy dark amber red with a small white head. Aroma has gently tart plums, a hint of berries, and earthiness. Flavour has mixed bugs, earthy berries, and a hint of blueberries. A big muddled and lacking coordination, but it's reasonably done. Decent.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Nose is yogurty, with lots of lacto, some bugs, and some earthiness. Flavour is yogurty, with tons of lacto and some floral dry hopping. Yogurty and floral. Despite apparently being a mixed ferm sour, this comes across like a standard kettle sour.
