On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Nose is like ice cream, with lactose, passionfruit and very subdued citrus hops. Flavour follows suit, with passionfruit and lactose upfront, followed by French vanilla ice cream. Just like a fruity ice cream. Fun beer.

Has a soft clear orange body with just a little foam, smells of some smoky notes and sweet hops. Flavour is more smokiness, hops, a bit of apple. Mouthfeel is full and crisp. Some odd flavours in here which don't seem to jive with the style.

Can as gift from Canada. Hazy golden colour with white head. Aroma yeasty and tropical fruity. Taste light tart fruity to slightly bitter. Full crisp body.

Yellowish body and a bit of foam, soft sweet grains on the nose. Flavour is middling grain with no sourness. Full enough on the mouth, but this is a serious letdown.

Very clear yellow body and little foam. Soft grains on the nose. Flavour is chewy grains, some sweetness, and the emptiness of space as pondered by Stanley Kubrick in his 1967 epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. I honestly have no idea how this is supposed to be a maibock.

Middling clear dark orange body and modest foam, funky brett yeast on the nose lending to sourness. Flavour is huge sour brett notes and vague grains on the back end. Nice as a sour, no issues, good for the region.

Middling cloudy orange body and little foam, chewy hops on the nose. Flavour is mellow grains and hops. Good crispness on the mouth, otherwise average. Serviceable for the clientele of this brewpub nonetheless.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as "Centennial Sour"
Golden colour, hazy. A clean sour, gentle, although I would have expected a bit more acidity from Moon, with delicate fruity character, stone fruit, citrus zest, touch of tropical.
Clean and refreshing.

On tap at Moon Under Water, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is pretty neutral, with straw and light cereal graininess. Flavour is clean, with straw and gently sweet cereal malt. Clean and crushable. Solid enough lager.

On tap at Moon Under Water, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a bit fart-like, with a light herbal crunch, cheese, and some BO. Flavour is thankfully better, with a dry biscuity malt character and light cabbage crunch. This doesn't seem on-point. The aromatics are off, and the flavours do little to redeem it.
