Cloudy and pale. Thin, bubbly head. The aroma is fairly strong, weedy, and a bit orangey as well. The body is light. There's a sort of tobaccoey note, along with some papaya. The malts are really thin here, a bit too much, but it doesn't make the beer bitter. It just makes it light and thin. So all told, not bad, but much better on the nose than on the palate.

Dark brown, thin bubbly head. Very thin head. Rich barrel on the nose, sticky dark sugars, a bit boozy. On the palate it's got some rich sugars, again quite a bit of barrel but better integrated on the palate than the nose. Just enough bitterness. Light fruitiness leaning towards the raisin family. Decent stuff.

The recipe is pretty generic, so in that sense it's a fairly straightforward hazy IPA, fruity, yeasty, that sort of thing. Clean. Malts are in the background, bitterness fairly low. Pretty typical hazy, nothing wrong with it.

16oz at Alex's. Appearance: terrible dirty straw with a white head. Aroma: dirty fruits, maybe some vegetables, some sweetness. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: total meh, typical Russel :-/

Dark brown colour, short of being black, small beige head. Strong aroma of dark bread. Moderately sweet, but the body is thinner than other beers in the category; chocolate, bread, very little roast, and a touch of vanilla in the finish is the only suggestion of bourbon.
Pretty good.

16oz @ Alex's. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: roasted malts, some grassy notes, no bourbon presence. Taste: along the same lines, some ash notes. Overall: another example of something that pretends to be a barrel aged, but in fact, it does not smell/taste like that at all. It's just pretty good IS.

Can from Denman LRS, Vancouver; canned in January
Blond colour, hazy, with persistent head, nice perlage. Very mild aroma of malt andd hops. Mooth mouthfeel, but quite simple on the flavour profile, with some bread, wet paper, and light metallic finish.
