473ml can. Pours a cloudy magenta with a medium, foamy, short lived, pink head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, raspberry and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, raspberry, light vanilla and floral hops in a dry, tart, lacto finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Jammy and enjoyable.

Can at Weathered 2022, Vancouver
Dark brown colour. Aroma of roasted nuts, some chocolate. Mild sweetness, this would need more sugar; quite big roast upfront, burnt wood, burnt nuts, and strong alcohol. Good, but not great, harsh, unbalanced.

Can at Weathered 2022, pours black with a beige head. Aroma brings out molasses, vanilla, cocoa and some burnt roast. Flavour is full of burnt roast, molasses, and caramel. Burnt roast and molasses on the finish. A little harsh and burnt, but it's solid.

Deep black body and modest beige foam. Smells of weak plum, brett yeast. Taste is great sour chocolate, plenty of brett, wood hints. Ends a little thin, alcohol invisible. Pretty good, halfway to greatness.

Great nitro foam on a dark brownish black body. Soft malt on the nose, a bit of biscuit. Taste is smooth biscuit, chewy molasses, lingering sweetness. Kind of okay, but pretty forgettable.

Deep dark brown body and modest foam. Modest cocoa on the nose, maybe molasses, but too thin. Taste is good cocoa and some chocolate syrup, ending smooth. Not bad, not exciting.

Hazy deep yellow body and okay foam. Vague dank hop aroma, a bit of chalk, no alcohol but still rather weak. Taste is soft melon, a bit of chalk, ending watery and dangerously so. Anachronistic to the style but a soft DIPA like this is very intriguing.

Cloudyish medium gold body and modest foam. Weedy dank hops on the nose, a bit of floor cleaner, somehow it works well here. Taste is sweet dank hops, a soft hit of caramel, ending smooth and oily. A crowd pleasing west coast IPA hitting all the right notes.
