Good bleach white foam on a clear light pale straw body. Sweet macro hop aroma, soft grain, plenty of sugar. Flavour is sweet cardboard, vague hops, more sugar. Smooth with lingering sweetness. A cut above an average macro pilsner but nothing too exciting.

Can that pours a clean copper colour with a frothy light-mocha coloured head, good retention and some foamy lacing. Roasted and caramel malt base in the nose with some hints of maple syrup, coffee, molasses. Fairly sweet aromas, but some hops do come out to calm things down. In the taste, this is exactly what happens. Hops cut the sweetness and adds a little dryness in the finish. Mild dark fruits, good roastiness and light bitterness. Quite an easy-drinking, slightly wee heavy - Scottish Ale.

Part of their 12-pack mixed Craft Crusher that pours a slight unfiltered, clear golden bright colour with a frothy warm carp, good retention and full light lacing. Malty aromas of grains with some light corn and hops. The malts are stronger in the taste with mild hops in the finish. Again, hints of corn, but all-around blended well for a regular lager. Still, not my kind of brew.

Part of their 12-pack mixed Craft Crusher, pouring a slightly hazy, light golden-yellow bright colour with a frothy white cap, decent stay and some lacing spots. Mild deep green, grassy hop nose with some sweet malts and hints of cilantro. Flavours of citrus, grassiness, with a light dry finish. An easy-drinking hoppy light ale.

Mixed 12-pack Craft Crusher with a 355ml can that pours a slightly unfiltered, light pulpy golden colour with a big warm frothy, creamy head and thick foamy patches. Aromas of sweet malts, grassy hops and hints of cilantro sour-grassiness. The mouthfeel is thin, but has decent dryness. The malt base is nicely balanced with the hoppy flavours. A fairly easy-drinking West Coast IPA.

473mL can, pours a cloudy, murky dull orangey yellow with a large white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, some dankness, and dirty yeast. Flavour is very muddled, with chalk, yeast soup, muddled earthy hops, and a touch of dank. Muddled and uncoordinated. Not very good.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals gentle oaky barrel character, the subtlest coconut character, and a touch of cola. Flavour brings out cola notes upfront, light-to-moderate oak, and a touch of roast. Really not getting any coconut. There's not a big body either—fairly thin for a BA impie. Nothing wrong with this, but it's pretty underwhelming.

This Wee Heavy poured a deep, near black colour with a light tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, molasses and very light coffee aromas. First swig was delicious. Smooth, creamy and teaming with flavour. Tastes of caramel, roasted malt and coffee with a little chocolate. Finish is a little sweet and thick with malty goodness lingering forever.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond colour. The aroma is lightly dank, citrus peel. The mouthfeel is rather dry, there's a touch of crispy malt and oats, the hop chracter initially is more floral; robust bitterness, somehow pithy too.
It's different from the average Hazy, good for a change.
