Canoe Brewpub - Victoria BC
This was the first beer for the trip and it was tasty and nice for the hot sun on my back. Malty with light hops this was a tasty start.

On draught at the brewpub in downtown Victoria, BC. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind some nice lacing and a thick off-white ring. Aroma of roasted nuts, some amber/caramel malt, with a touch of citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of caramel malt, citrus, some butter and a touch of teriyaki. Finish is a little thin, semi-dry with a light malt aftertaste.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
7/14/07 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is malty with the balance of a sweet hop citrus character. Appearance is light yellow with a well retained white head. Flavor is well balanced with sweet malt, citrus and a moderate bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carb feel. Overall, not bad and fairly typical besides the malty aroma.

Light citrus aroma. Pours a nice amber brown. Moderate body, with a dry mid-range dry finish.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light amber with a thin head. Light hops, buttery. Butter bomb in a bottle, a bit of hops peek through, thin palate. ACK !! The butter. Once you taste it you can’t untaste it. Blea!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at the pub. Good thick head and creamy lacing on gold. Light hops and creamy malt aroma. Not overpowering but moderate hop body. Nice hop presence does not demand undue attention.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear light copper with a tremendous white head - I had to pour in stages! Light sudsy aroma, bland and slightly stale. Those East Kent Goldings really cut through with the distinctive sour tone leaving the weak creamed-corn malting well in the background and ending with a dry, bitter finish. Creamy body, slightly over-carbonated. Reasonably drinkable as the hops are a touch more aggressive than most macro swill. So-so.
