On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a dark mahogany with a tiny tan head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops and roasted malt. Flavour is well-balanced, with loads of piney hops and just enough roasted malt. Quite harsh in a nicely robust way. Really well-balanced, very hoppy CDA.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Amber color, clean, with compact head. The aroma has some fruity esters, it’s sweetish, with caramel. Good body strength, lean mouthfeel, with just light sweetness; mild caramel base, with a vague presence of vegetables and spices. Strong bitterness with a bit of chicory.
Not exciting.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark mahogany color, with small compact head. The aroma is too mild, not much comes through. Good body strength, less than expected though; some caramel flavor, with light residual sweetness, but also a fundamental vegetable character; lightly nutty in the final, oily, with some boozy alcohol, and low bitterness.
Despite the name, this has very little Belgium in it. Rather cloying.

Draft - Nice intense citrus and peel. Hazy yellow with a decent white head. Sweet lemon, grassy bitterness and a long finish. Nice and grassy with and underlying citrus peel.

Keg at Baileys Taproom, PDX, 11/11/14. Clear amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is biscuit, hops, caramel malt, light tropicana, mandarin. Taste comprises juicy hops, light pine, bitter orange, pinch of spice, caramel malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sem drying close with hop bitterness. Well balanced number, hoppy amber, not what I’d class as a winter ale per say!

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 14 oz
Hazy dark blond color with small compact head. The aroma is lightly grassy, the malt flavor is mellow, with a hay accent, a bit sweeter than the Helles I’m used to, with just a little hop grassy touch.
Quite simple, I expected more from pFriem.

On tap at Belmont Station Bier Cafe, pours a clear dark golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of rye, with bready malt. Flavour is about the same, with lots of breadiness. Dry and drinkable. Good beer.
