Cannery Brewing Reviews

Oakes	3.5 Cannery Kindling - Rum Barrel Aged Nearly black. Thin brown head. Intense molasses, raisins, smoke, and rum barrel butterscotchy notes. Actually really vibin' off how this comes across aromatically. On the palate, it's got some sugars, probably a heavy-handed rum barrel, molasses, some dark fruits. It's funny, in that this cannot possibly be the finest expression of Kindling, and yet it is respectable. Sunday, March 17, 2024
RennyDoig	3.2 Cannery Darkling Oatmeal Stout 473mL can. Pours black with foamy beige head. Aroma is mainly lightly roasted sweet malts. Flavour is mainly damp, slightly sour malts. One-note beer, but not bad. Friday, March 1, 2024
mcberko	3 Cannery Kindling - Rum Barrel Aged 330mL can, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma has a perfumey character for the rum barrels, with molasses, dark sugars and a touch of roast. Flavour is rather chaotic and lacking integration, with cola, rum barrels, medium roast, and some molasses. The integration is just not great; the flavours are chaotic and just not all that pleasant. Far inferior to the whiskey BA version from last year. Friday, February 16, 2024
Gerbeer	3 Cannery Kindling - Rum Barrel Aged 335 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head that settles quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate, charred oak, spirits and roasted malts. Immediate flavors of plastic and wood, followed by spirits, and dusty chocolate and roasted malts. At best, the rum barrel influence is at odds with the base stout. Thursday, February 1, 2024
gunner72	3.6 Cannery Fresh Hop Extra Pale Ale (2023) Thursday, November 9, 2023
Gerbeer	2.8 Cannery Okanagan Daze Berry & Lime Wheat Ale 473 ml can. Pours a hazy dark pink with moderate head. Aromas of dried raspberries and wheaty malts.

fiulijn	3.7 Cannery Bonsai Hazy IPA Can from The Gull, North Vancouver Hazy to cloudy blond colour, with greenish hue; medium head. Nice aroma of citrus fruits with a hint of tropical fruit. Dry mouthfeel, snappy malt base, that's quite good; the hops are resinous, with some orange peel, the bitterness is bold for the style, and therefore more in balance than the average Hazy. Pretty good. Monday, March 20, 2023

pictoman	3.6 Cannery Kindling (2020-) - Whiskey Barrel Aged Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with small beige head. Roasty, very feint coconut and chocolate, mild whiskey barrel. If they used better whiskey barrels maybe it would have been good, but it's just okay. Lacking depth. Prefer original Kindling (2020-), but maybe this is an age issue... Sunday, January 29, 2023

fiulijn	3.9 Cannery Barrage Can from Jak's Parkcrest, Burnaby Blond colour, slightly pale, slightly hazy, with medium head. Aroma of hops, minerals, light garlic. It's off dry, yet the light residual sweetness adds a lot, making the malts appear more juicy; white bread; juicy hops, white grapes dominate, but also a touch of topical fruit and garlic; moderate bitterness, with evidence of alcohol. I was worried, since this can may be a few month old, but this is a very enjoyable IPA. Tuesday, July 26, 2022
cmacklin	3.3 Cannery Barrage 473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-orange with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a small, creamy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace.

rileycoyotes	3.5 Cannery Muse Nicely hopped with piney notes Thursday, May 26, 2022
Oakes	3.2 Cannery Barrage Had this on tap at the brewery. "Experimental IPA" is apparently what the hop people are coaching breweries to call anything made with Phantasm. Hazy blonde, medium head. Nice lacing. The aroma is moderately fruity. Similar palate…some mellow indistinct hops, but at least there’s a decent pale malt base here…a bit sweet but otherwise solid. So more bitterness might help the hops shine a bit. Friday, April 22, 2022
