50 Mile Lager from Slow Hand Beer Co. (Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦)

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Had this at Dark Fields and somehow forgot to enter it. Pale and slight haze, thin head. Lots of pale malt on the nose and a bit of herbaceous hop. Mild bitterness, medium sweetness. Malts slightly sticky but not a lot…not a bad malt character at all.

Numbskull Imperial IPA - 16 - Krush from Lighthouse Brewing (Victoria, Canada 🇨🇦)

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Darkish amber, kinda murky-looking, as these always are. Medium head. Old school chewy aroma, same palate. Crystal malt bomb in effect. Lots of alcohol. That early 00s IIPA base isn’t a great showcase for a hop like 586, and there’s limited unique hop expression here. It all just devolves into chewiness.

Dullish pale, sort of an overripe fruit. Some alcohol, vague malt, hop character is okay. It’s fine.

Here Comes the Summer from Cabin Brewing Company (Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦)

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pale yellow, and hazy. Medium head. Fruity, apricot and orange hop notes. Good body, splash of alcohol…7% right on, and thankfully made at Cabin. Magnum for proper bitterness. Well-balanced, the malt allows the bright and fruity hops to shine.

Gold, slight haze, thick, rocky head. Aroma is leafy, herbaceous continental hop. Medium body, lots of bready malt, moderate but balanced bitterness. Pretty good, has some Czech character.

Hazy, good head. Aroma is a bit of onion and some slightly cheesy hop. Moderate bitterness, light bfruitiness, mild stone fruit. Fullish body for style but an indistinct malt character. Seems pretty nondescript.
