Hazy with a slightly orangey hue. Has a light orange note, with a bit of salt and it's quite yeasty as well. Some tartness, lots of yeast, touch of salt and then the finish has a decent orange note.

Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver
Black color, almost no head. Light aroma of dark caramel and bourbon. Lean but sweet, the lack of carbonation improves the sweet feeling; light bread flavor, lactose, caramel, very light coffee, and bourbon only if you know that it's there.
Pleasant.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Cloudy golden color. Medium strength, quite dry, with light biscuity malts, mild acidity, some artificial citrus, and some vegetable in the final.
Not bad, but I'm not a fan.

Hazy golden color. Mild aroma of lactic acid. The acidity is mild, the mouthfeel is dry but also soft, gentle fruitiness from the yeast that blends with the light citrus from the hop. Possibly there is a cheese trace.
Good, refreshing.

Draft - Caramel and a touch of toast. Deep copper with a decent white head. Malty and light sweetness with a touch of nutty bitterness.

Draught @ Alibi. Amber, clean kettle. Just a light fruity black currant sort of hop.

Draught @ Red Racer. Medium amber, thin head. Slight haze. Slightly funky kettle sour nose. Same palate, a but heavy on the lactic, bit sharp, and actually just a low level of fruit. Pretty mediocre kettle sour, Moon is still hit and miss with these.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out light wood, some barrel character and subdued hops. Flavour is quite fruity, with some stone fruity hops, light brett funk and even lighter barrel character. Doesn't seem like the most cohesive beer - more like a muted and lightly funked up IPA.

Slight haze, bubbly head, soft body, a bit husky, light bitterness, not a whole lot of hop character. Nowhere near the style and not doing much happy anyway. But at least this batch isn't riddled with diacetyl.
