473mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a medium white head. Aroma reveals fresh earthy, woody, piney hops, some light citrus undertones, and doughy malt. Flavour is vibrant and fresh, with bright woody piney hops, some spiciness, and loads of doughy malt. Spicy, piney, woody finish, with a nice lingering bitterness. Now this is a very nice fresh hop WCIPA -- raising the bar for BC.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 2023-06-01). Lightly hazed yellow with small white head. Lots of esters, cloves, thinner bodied, lacks the doughy yeast quality of most hefes.

Pinkish-red colour. Mellow cherry aroma. The cherry lends sweetness and complexity to the acetic base beer.

Dull, hazy, acetic, and woody. It's not bad, but it's definitely harsh to take on its own.

Dull and hazy. Light fruit. Mellow tartness. I don't think the brett took much yet, as it's just not screaming brett IPA.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of oak, funky brett, and earthy hops. Flavour is full of funky brett, oak, and earthy hops. Funky and hoppy in good cohesion. Pleasant stuff.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart cherries, wild yeast and a touch of oak. Flavour is full of tart cherries, tons of acidity, oak, and brett. A bit harsh and lacking cohesion but not too bad. Decent.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of wild yeast, oak, and intense bugginess. Flavour is acetic and buggy, with intense wild yeast, tart stone fruits, acetic notes, and oak. Buggy and fruity but not the most cohesive. Pleasant.
