Poured from 473mL can. Clear blonde with small white head. Soft pils malt with a light citrusy hop profile and a feint grassy finish. It's simple and mild, but it's a touch muted and not sure that the citrusy notes match the pils malt. Okay.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Soft dank and tropical hops with some gas fumes, simple clean base, quite nice.

Dark brown, not much head, flabby, weak stout, can’t carry the adjuncts. Vague vanilla. Field House has never figured out imperial stout…which at this point means they are not asking the right people the right questions…(i.e. Structures, Skookum, Holy Mountain, Fremont are all just down the road)

Dark amber colour, very slight haze, and a thin head. Has a piney, slightly grapefruity aroma. On the palate, the malts are bigger, bringing caramel and a touch of toastiness. Still plenty of old school pine and grapefruit as well. Solid product.

Opaque and pale. Grapefruity aroma, with peach and pineapple. Very juicy, expressive on the palate. Lots of pineapple, orange, and stone fruit. Good pale malt support. Quite good.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, peach, mango, coconut and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, orange zest, pineapple, peach, mango, coconut, banana, oats and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Juicy, enjoyable and easy to drink.

On tap at The Magnet, pours an opaque pinkish rosé colour with a small white head. Aroma is a yogurt bomb—that lacto overshadows all that fruit, though there is some berry and grape juice-like notes that are detectable. Flavour is a little better, with tart berries, a touch of peach, and some grape juice. But it’s a kettle sour and that lacto is more prominent than I’d want; there’s not much complexity either. It’s fine for what it is.

5oz pour at the Chilliwack taproom. Pours very murky yellow with a white head. Tons of mango and passionfruit on the nose. Flavour is very juicy, lots of mango, peach, passionfruit, gentle tangy sourness. Pretty restrained and barely sour. Not their best kettle sour.

5oz pour at the Chilliwack taproom. Pours opaque yellow with a white head. Juicy tropical fruit and yeast on the nose. Flavour is similar, decent tropical fruits drowned out in a yeasty mess. Sloppy.

5oz pour at the Chilliwack taproom. Pours blonde with a slight haze and white head. Estery Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has Belgian yeast, very gentle blood orange, fairly dry, a bit watery. Not particularly interesting.
