On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto and very subdued blueberry skins. Flavour is along the same lines, with a nice blueberry skin character upfront over a very lacto-y body. Not the most complex beer in the series, but very pleasant.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma reveals the brett upfront, followed by some vinous notes and sweet caramely biscuity malt. Flavour is intense, with lots of booze that hits you upfront, along with tannins, caramel, bready malt and a touch of brett. Boozy but not in too detracting a way. Solid stuff.

Cloudy amber color. It has a nice aroma, mildly vinous. The mouthfeel is lean and much less sweet than expected, luckily it doesn't have the cloying sweetness of Wheat Wines; there are soft tannins, some Brett character, gentle alcohol touch, and mild vinous shade.
A good beer, definitively not what was expected.

Cloudy darkish amber. Thin head. Has a bit of kettle sour nose, light but vague berries...tough to pick out blueberry. On the palate, similar. The sour isn't clean - kind of rotten funk - and the berry only sort of masks that. On the whole, not one of the stronger in this series.

@Alibi. Light amber colour. Quite cloudy. Thin head. On the nose, brett up front, some peachy notes, malt sweetness playing around in there somewhere. Strong - the alcohol is quite powerful on the palate. The body is pretty light for the style. Light figg

Tap at Alibi. Deep, cloudy orange, lovely, with lace. Fresh peaches in the nose, lovely , apricots. Flavor is tart orange, slightly unripe nectarine, wheat biscuit. Tart, light, dry but fruity, boozy. Austere and sophisticated, with a peppery, bitter finish. Aging would make it even better I think.

This is tan colour. The aroma is a bit fruity from the hops, but also a little bit husky/crackery. Not great. On the palate, quite similar. There's bitterness from the hop, and then the malts kick in. I don't know if it sat too long in the bottle but it seems like something isn't quite right with the base beer, except I can't really put my finger on it.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out floral and citrus dry hopping, and lacto. Flavour is loaded with lacto, followed by citrus hops, some floral notes, and moderate acidity. Nice blend of the hops and lacto. Only gently sour. Very nice.

Cloudy blond color. As usual, a solid Sour from MUW, with some residual sugars, robust acidity, fruity character, and mild final astringency, with vinous character.
Very good.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as “Boyz in the Yard, Passionfruit Milkshake IPA"
Hazy blond color. The arom aof passionfruit is quite evident. The body is lean, the mouthfeel is just moderately sweet, so don't expect the common milkshake IPA; the malt base is crisp, the hopping is resiny, there is a mild acidity, and everything blends well with the passionfruit flavor.
Very nice, more Sour than IPA in my book.
