Cask at Lions Pub, Vancouver
Cloudy amber color with frothy head. Nasty smelly aroma, feet and dirt. No carbonation, soft mouthfeel, some caramel flavor, but stale and smelly.
I actually think they may not maintain a proper clean line at the pub…

Bottle from Darby’s Liquor, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color with medium sized head. Nice aroma, fresh, fruity, peachy, but also with a bit more pungent touch, and some spices. Good body structure, soft mouthfeel, not too dry; the malt and wheat profile is not exciting; the hopping is more interesting, with lemony character, some hop resins, evidence of Citra; though it clashes a bit with the spiciness.
Appreciated because the Citra character is well showcased; good summer beer.

Cloudy tan, thick head. Aroma is pears, yeast, gummy pale malts and a dash of citrusy hop. Has a lot of weizen sweetness, grapefruit rind hop, but also a fair bit of dusty yeast and some ashy/burnt phenols that the hops are covering up. Still ok beer.

On tap at Catch 122, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out grassy hops, crackery notes and herbal notes. Flavour is exactly the same, with a herbal, grassy finish. Quite a decent pils.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Cloudy light golden yellow with white head. Aroma of citra hops and a musky yeast. Flavour has a little funky wheat that coats the tongue and moves into a mild dry hop finish. Smooth and slightly sticky.

Reddish-brown, with a thin head. The aroma is a bit weak and caramelly, with a touch of toasted biscuit malts, the body is light, with a vaguely caramelly, biscuity character. Pretty uninteresting...the malts are pretty simple and the body is thin.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with light head. Aromas of raisins, toasted malt, alcohol, and light caramel. Flavors are similar with notes of burnt sugar and grass. OK, but nothing special.
