Bottle from Boundary Crossing Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with small head. The aroma has some plastic/rubber, phenol, candies. Good body strength, lean mouthfeel, actually a bit alcoholic; simple malt profile, with some cereals, caramel, moderate peppery/spicy character, strong bitterness, but just light hop qualities, although it’s a bit fruity and resiny; hints of liquorice.
Not bad, but simplistic.

Muddy light tan colour, has a sweaty yeast character, and a fair bit of tartness. Not clean and while it’s quite wheaty the spice elements aren’t apparent. 33C and I was having trouble with it - not a good sign.

Darkish gold, not a very expressive nose, touch if berry. Fuller body, more malts than the pale, not a lot of hop character or bitterness, but the malts are actually really nice, with some good honeyish, biscuity character. Points off for not really being an IPA - not even by 1990s standards - but it’s a good beer.

Dark color, golden to light amber. Mild aroma, fruity. The flavor is mild, a bit papery, not too dry, not weak, with hints of grass and straws.
Decent beer, not necessarily the archetypal Kölsch.

Light gold. Malt is bit thick, gloppy and the hops are maybe not as fresh as I’d like. Mild bitterness. Ok.

Hazy blond color with small compact head. Light grassy touch. Dry and light mouthfeel; the malt profile has some cereals accent; the hopping has a little grassy touch, ordinary bitterness level.
Too simple, just midway between a real Pilsner and a mainstream Lager.

Pours a clear deep copper with a generous two finger off white head that leaves nice lace. Nose is light pine and citrus with a prominent rye spice. good caramel balance up front to support a moderate bitterness starting in the middle and accented by a building spiciness in the end. Medium mouth with average carbonation.
