500 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with moderate head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of sour citrus, green oak, and wine gums. Flavors of tart stoned fruit, metallic kiwis, malted wheat, green apples and more wine gums. Very nice though pricey for a local.

Dull blonde. Thin head. Mellow hop aroma. Soft body with juicy acidity. Mellow bitterness and a nice floral hop character.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice mix of lacto, tropical fruity hops and light tartness. Flavour is very bright, with lots of fruity dry hopping, lots of lacto and light acidity. Fruity and hoppy in good combination. Solid.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus, followed by clove, coriander and banana. Flavour brings out notes of banana, followed by citrus, coriander, and again, a little banana. Not overly pleasant, but it's okay.

Cloudy, blonde. Fairly yeasty aroma, with just a touch of orange. Some alcohol in there, but just a touch. On the palate, more like thin and with a touch of orange. Quite yeasty. If there was promise on the nose - and there was a touch - it’s not flowing through to the palate.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver, 5-2-5-2-10=24
Cloudy blond color. Mild aroma of spicy yeast, very light orange peel. Good body strength, sweetish, also sourish, spicy, some swamp water. Not too bad, but the elements are thrown together chaotically.

Tasting at Matt's, bottle, 5-3-4-2-7=21
Hazy blond color. Aroma of American yeast spices, coriander, hint of aniseed, plastic. Dry, overy carbonated, a lot of petrol and fusels, burning alcohol, some orangey touch.
Quite bad.

Draught, Alibi Room. Dark amber, hazy with a thin head. Very sweet nose, going in a lactic direction. Super boozy though. Touch of cherry like cough drops. A bit hot. So not coming together as much as I’d like.

Muddy-looking pale tan, thin head. Messy nose with some appley notes. Sweet, appley taste, very yeasty, lightly pale malt note. Such a sloppy beer, full of cider, booze but never going anywhere.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy bronze / amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart cherries and a touch of wild yeast upfront. Flavour is very odd, with lots of "animal" notes (i.e. farm and manure), tart cherries and a little funk. Very unusual flavours here, with the manure and farm notes. Strange but tasty.

Draft - Soured cherry. Deep cloudy copper. Tart funky cherry with nice clean finish. Funky, tart and bright. Nice.
