Medium brown, grapefruit, herbs, light chocolate, nice nose. Sweet minty chocolate, lighter bitterness than many examples...this is refined, smooth...more Pfriem goodness.

On tap at Belmont Station, pours a murky dark orange with a small white head. Aroma of bananas, roasted malt and some burnt notes. Flavour is similar, with burnt roasted bananas, crusty rye bread, and toasted nuts. Really well-balanced, with a dry, crusty bread finish. Great one.

32oz growler courtesy of riversideAK, thanks Alex! It pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a nice looking off white head of foam. The aroma offers up juicy citrus and rich dank onion hoppy goodness with a thin cloud of floral hops. Beneath the hoppiness is a mild clean smelling malty sweetness. The taste is just as rich and juicy as the nose indicated with malt sweetened citrus hop goodness matched evenly with spicy dank malt nuanced onion like hoppiness. Around the edges of the big hop richness are light notes of floral hops and some maltiness. This is a solid rich deep yummy IIPA. Wow!

32oz growler courtesy of riversideAK, thanks Alex! It pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of mango, juicy apricot, ripe white grapes and some hop spiciness. The taste is nice and juicy with hoppy goodness that is in the form of mango and tangerine mixed with sweet white grapes and earthy spicy hops. This hits first with malt sweetened flavor hops and then quickly launches into more and more hop bitterness. Tasty stuff with a pleasing balance of hop flavor and bitterness.

On tap at the Alibi Room for the 500th beer list, pours a near black / dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of yummy oats, chocolate, and light roast. Flavour is smooth and creamy, with smooth oats, chocolate and creamy roasted malt. Very creamy and smooth, with a lingering chocolate, caramely finish. Highly drinkable stuff. Excellent.

Draught at St. Augustineโs, Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond color. The aroma is a bit lemony and orangey; the mouthfeel is not too weak or too dry; light wheat flavor with light spicy presence and some bitter orange peel; quite bitter overall.
Itโs a regular Witbier (I would have expected a drier, cleaner and sharper beer to be defined Saison).

Deep blond color, clean, with compact head. Malt aroma, simple. Good body strength, lean mouthfeel; some malt flavor with moderate sweetness; it has some more character than most North American attempts, and light fruitiness. Correct bitterness.
Well brewed.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose screams out some tangy hops, citrus and kiwi - smells more like an IPA. Flavour is awesome, bringing out loads of kiwi, astringent piney hops, and smooth biscuit on the back end. Finishes with quite a pronounced astringency from the hops on the finish. Super flavourful stuff. Excellent.
