12 oz bottle. Aroma comes leaping out of the gate with a wet sitting-in-the-sink-for-a-week dishrag note, then develops some nutty, earthy and roasty notes to combat this nastiness, leaving a decent but definitely not fantastic smelling beer. Pours dark brown with red highlights and a medium-sized beige head with good retention; sheets of lace are left on the glass all the way down to the bottom after the liquid disappears. Taste is lightly sweet, roasty and nutty, finishing with a robust bitterness. Palate is perfect for style, exhibiting a nice creaminess with taut carbonation and a medium body. I was expecting much less from this, given a lot of the brewery’s recent output, and that initial terrible aroma note. It ended up being a quaffable and perfectly serviceable brown ale.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out pretty pronounced bready malts, with a little of the lime but no ginger. Flavour is more pronounced, with a little ginger, bready malt and a touch of citrus. The adjuncts don't take centre stage; it's more of a bready winter warmer. Not very complex or interesting, but it's decent.

Nice dark brown coloured body with a thin, fast-dying light brown head. Aroma of coffee grounds, nuts, earth, pit fruits and a bit of raisins, but the spent coffee is definitely noticeable. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong assertive coffee flavour up front with not much malt to support it - a touch thin on the finish, with some caramel, nuts and musty notes right behind. Aftertaste shows the coffee, a touch of alcohol and very little else - no real malts either nor any sort of complexity. Overall, quite poor, as it’s solely one-dimensional with no complexity nor variance in flavours - thin malt and coffee, that’s it to this one. I love coffee, but this didn’t do it for me. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Eye Street, Foggy Bottom), DC on 05-February-2015 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 10-January-2016, about a year after purchasing.

Bomber. Aroma is bready, faint orange candy circus peanuts, sweetbread. Pours clear copper with a medium beige head with good retention; laces a little. Taste is sweet and bready, finishing with a medium bitterness. Tastes a little like caramel corn. I’m not getting any ginger or citrus. I’ve never had a Moscow Mule, so I can’t say how similar this might be, but it seems a little bland with none of the advertised ingredients even hinted at--oh wait, just noticed some faint spicy heat, possibly from the ginger. Overall, not bad, but not terribly interesting.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy golden color. Dry but not weak; the malt has a defined cereals component, quite nice, while the hops are very lightly resiny and fruity, giving correct bitterness, but not a great sense of freshness.
Nice.

Hazy golden color with a copper hue. Milder in the aroma, but the flavor shows too much cereal soup character; light residual sweetness; some smell of wet cardboard; strong bitterness, with some orangey resins. Overall, tastes a bit like an old beer.
Nothing exciting.

Bottle from Winco. Nice deep copper body with silky, bubbly head. Aroma recalls fresh hop IPAs, taste adds the ginger and citrus elements, which blend nicely with hops for a snappy, spicy flavor. I really liked this, and its not too far removed from the atypical NW IPA.
