Play Deader cranks things up with bigger hops, bolder flavour, and a whole lot more bite 💥 This Double IPA hits with a wave of tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of pine, balanced by a smooth bitterness and a clean, dry finish. It’s dangerously drinkable. Play Deader doesn’t just play…it dominates.

Bright, amber, medium head. Medium hop, lots of pale malt. A bit husky, with some alcohol flavour in the finish. Not bad.

586 ml can. Pours a copper color with moderate head. Aromas of doughy malts, pine, and a bit of toffee. Flavors of same with emphasis on pine. Yep, a very old school malty IPA. Overall good, but what’s with the stupid huge can? I rather buy two small cans rather than have to consume what’s in the huge can in one sitting.

20oz (😑) shared @ Ryan's with Farees and Alex.
Aroma: a bir fruity with some flowery notes, good malt backbone.
Taste: along the same lines, noticeably bitter, piney.
Overall: quality old school West Coast IPA.

Poured from 568mL can (pkg Aug 18, 2025). Clear gold with small white head. Pine hops and light crystal malt, decent.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear gold with a white head. Resinous pine and dank oils on the nose. Flavour has bitter pine, some grapefruit peels, resins, and an oily dankness; nice malt base. This is far above the standard for this city; fantastic west coast.

568mL can, pours a mostly clear golden amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is full of resinous hops, loads of pine, and some bready caramel malt. Flavour is clean and assertively hopped, with loads of piney hops, some resins, a touch of grapefruit peel, and dry bready malt. Fantastic, bold piney hop character, ample bitterness and yet good malt support. This is frankly excellent.
