650 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with light head. Aromas of bread crusts, copper, candy sugar, and raisins. Flavors follow same. A little soft compared to a typical Belgian quad but quite nice

Hazy, thick head. Pale amber. Floral, fruity aroma. The base is fairly sweet with a somewhat phenolic, unclean ferm. Well, that’s distracting.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Beautiful, bright light amber colour, hazy, with large head, compact. It smells a bit like Brett. It's moderately sweet, fruity (stone fruit), acidity, Brett, red wine very light acetic; this has developed a bit too much, in the wrong direction, but somehow it's a drinkable, refreshing beer.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Hazy amber with small light beige head. Lots of acidic brett on the nose. Taste is brett, slightly acectic, with some very feint barrel notes and just a hint of coriander. Mostly, the brett has just taken over though.

22oz shared with Ryan @ Alex's. Appearance: hazy pale copper with a huge head. Aroma: Brett, some nail polisher, acetic, fruity notes. Taste: along the same lines, quite acetic and acidic. Overall: this one is definitely infected.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out pungent citrusy and tangy hops, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is bitter and tangy, with lots of citrus and tangy hops, nicely bitter pine, and crisp crackery malt. Almost drinks more like an IPA. Very good.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney, earthy hops, and crisp biscuity malt with a bit of acidity/salinity. Flavour is pretty muddled, with earthy hops and biscuity malt. Somewhat acidic and saline-y. It's fine but pretty lame in the hop department.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with minimal off white head. Mild chocolate, hint of orange, feint tartness, thin body. Not terrible, but it’s difficult to find the redeeming factors here.

Blond colour, more hazy than cloudy, but dull. Mild aroma of alcohol, manure, pine. Good structure, it has light residual sweetness, some faint but weird acidity, too much bitterness, and some vegetable note.
It's not bad, but it's weird.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 25.08.2022). Hazy golden orange with small white head. Earthy bread malt, slightly doughy, citrusy hops with a hint of pine. Okay, but muddy.
