On tap. Pours a clear brown-amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild, sweet aroma of caramel malt, brown sugar and leafy hops. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, sour dark fruit and a hint of nuts with a dry, bitter hop finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Ok.

Bottle - Malty brown sugar and pumpkin. Deep brown with a decent beige head. Dark cocoa and pumpkin with a touch of chocolate. Not bad.

On tap. Pours a clear red-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild, sweet aroma of toasted malt, caramel, raisin and light peat. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, caramel, toffee and light smoke with a dry finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad, but there was nothing angry about this one.

Nice to see Surrey's finest still pounding out the unique brews. If any suburb of Canada needs a brewery that cares, it's Surrey, so good on Russell for keeping the flame flaming or something. This has an okay head and darker brown body. Aroma is some cloying coriander spice stuff like you get in your coffee, like mahgawd, at least your chunky suburban Surrey girlfriend will find it smelling tasty. Flavour is crisp barley with none of that other stuff showing through. Weak mouthfeel, could use more oiliness. Some exciting parts but the whole is lacking.

Dark amber-brown colour, not much head. Pumpkin, and some clove and other herbs on the nose, with some molassesy malt sugars. Decent example.

Cloudy amber color. Nice aroma of dark fruits, balsamic, prunes. Fairly dry, good acidity level, some juicy character.

Bottle - Soured malts and some nice barrel. Clear copper with a small beige head. Light balsamic and caramel with a touch of vinegar. Not exceptional or complex, but I would say a good try that has no flaws.

Amber. Thin head. On the nose, lots of wood and the tartness is a clean flemish note. Tart, clean, slightly vinergary and vinous. Lots of barrel. Moderate body. Decent, clearly has that Flemish character. Good balanced acidity. Not super complex but definitely a decent beer.
