Light amber colour, bright, clean. Biscuity malt and resinous hops, with moderate sweetness, not sticky, bold bitterness, and mild fruity esters. Old school, but very clean and well executed.

473mL can, pours a clear copper amber with a medium beige head. Nose is quite laid back for the style, with resinous and piney hops, and balanced with bready malt. Flavour is also on the subtler side for the style, but reveals nice woody, dank hops, resins, some pine, and bready malt. The malt provides a bold backbone. The hops become more pronounced in the dank, resinous department with each sip. This is quite old school / west coast in style, which I'm fond of. Not excellent, but it's well-made and surprisingly easy-drinking. Very good.

Draught at the Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy red colour. It smells like a gentle smoothie. Berry juice moderately acidic, it would definitively boost the berries if it were a bit sweeter. Pleasant.

Medium brown. Looks maybe a bit murky in there. Tough to tell. Thin head. On cask, not much nose. Kind of a coffee/hazelnut sort of malt character. Big body for style, but it’s strong for style, too, which probably explains it. A bit of burnt taste and a bit of tartness (actually it’s the right amount for a cask milk in my experience).
