355mL can. Pours black with a tan head. Gentle roast, dark chocolate, some iron, and smoky whiskey barrels on the nose. Flavour has dark sugars, gentle roast, anise, some iron, and a nice smoky whiskey barrel character. Palate is quite thick and chewy. Very European. Not bad, nice barrel character, but the body is a bit clumsy.

473mL can. Pours opaque dull yellow with a white head. Loads of Brett on the nose. Flavour is also very dry with lots of Brett, citrus peels. It's hard to convince myself of any Nelson or white wine barrels in here through the fog of Brett. It's solidly okay.

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Fresh pine, dark chocolate, and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour has fresh pine, chocolatey malts, a bit yeasty, pretty gentle roast. The components are nice, but I want more of all of them. Not bad.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Huge punch of woody pine on the nose; great Chinook. Flavour has a fantastic Chinook character with super dry, woody pine, slightly floral, nice layer of dankness. Solid malt base, slightly oily on the palate. Excellent IPA.

On tap at Luppolo. Pours a slightly haze golden blonde with a white head. Light, citrus zest, and cereal malts on the nose. Flavour has a fairly vibrant hop expression with resinous pine, citrus zest, and a nice layer of dankness; cereal malt base. Pretty solid.
