On tap at Brewhall, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and biscuity malt. Flavour is grainy, with seltzery notes, crisp crackery malt, and grains. Clean enough, but rather grainy and seltzery. It's alright.

473mL can, pours a cloudy peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma reveals gentle strawberries upfront, with some estery notes, a touch of saison yeast, and clove. Flavour tastes more like strawberries than guava, with subtle tartness, and some lacto. This tastes quite different than I expected -- more yogurty than saison-like, and the fruits resemble strawberries more than guava. Nonetheless, pleasant beer.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; tag 31JUL20
Cloudy to murky blond colour. It starts with a touch of fruity hops in the nose; the body is light, apparently some minor sourness, with some sweetness, not balanced by the absence of bitterness, everything fading, into an incredibly boring finish.

341mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma reveals bright floral hops, with some citrus zest, and biscuity malt. Flavour is balanced, with citrus hops, some floral notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Nothing overly interesting, but the balance is good, and there is even a decent hop bite. Better than expected.
