On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is light, with floral notes and Belgian yeast. Flavour brings out citrus notes, floral notes, orange and Belgian yeast. Very orangey and dry, with very good balance. Well-made blonde.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky orange color with compact head. Aroma of mildly pungent fruits, citrusy. The mouthfeel is strange, with a feeling of sweetener, but the fruit component is very pleasant, some grapefruit and berries, with light acidity, not dry. Smooth.
Nice.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Cloudy medium orange with subtle pink hue and white head. Aroma of wheat with mild banana and berry that clashes with the wheat. Tastes blends a bit better with wheat and raspberry. Mild metallic finish.

Cask at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, gravity dispense
Dark brown color, almost black, with virtually no head, just some bubbles. The aroma is mild, a bit yeasty. No carbonation left, it has flavor of dark caramel and light chocolate; maybe a hint of smoke and liquorice; lightly metallic in the final; mild bitterness.
Easy beer, but not bad; more smoke and more character were expected.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an opaque cloudy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity, with mixed berries, and a touch of banana. Flavour brings out potent strawberries upfront, with raspberries and banana. Not getting even slight sourness here. Exceedingly fruity, especially strawberry-y. Good beer.

Bottle courtesy of gnashville. A cloudy milky honey gold. Big wheaty tart citrus aroma. It has a very thin zesty body with mild yoghurt & zesty citrus notes. The taste is solid: a bit of banana, milky Yakult and a zesty spiciness. A bit rough body-wise but overall a very decent beer.

Draft - Chalky Brett. Hazy copper with a rich white head. Milky and light tartness and a long funk finish. I don’t get any fruit, what i do get is a ton of lacto and brett in a soupy interesting mix.

Draft - Earthy, pine hops. Cloudy orange with apart no head. Lots of earthy, woody bitterness and little hop flavor on the finish. The bitterness is palate wrecking and not in a good way.

Bottle at CapFlu’s Blomster Bash
Cloudy pale color. Bready aroma, mild; lacto. Highly carbonated; light flavor; not much lacto or Brett, light acidity, very light fruity touch, minimal lemony impression.
Not enough character.

Cask at Hopoxia 2014
Cloudy amber color with bubbly head. Intense aroma, a bit musky, some vegetables, strong hops. Full bodied, sweet, violently bitter, with powerful resiny component and quite fruity too, impression of roiboos.
Interesting. And well balanced in its extremeness.
