Powertrip (758) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 15, 2011
Bottle purchased in Vernon, BC on 03/10/2011. Colour: Gold, with medium head. Nose: Whispy wheat, sweet tarts, papaya, cantaloupe. Taste: Medium sweet, light bitter, light sour. Burst of honey that stays long through the entire palate. Some green grapes mingle about. Malted barley intervenes periodically but returns on the finish for a good long visit.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 7, 2010
Golden-amber. Thin head. The aroma has a nice caramel accent. Toasty, with a sort of nutty, earthy background. Not especially smooth, but it has some nice malt flavours.
