A West Coast Double IPA
So mega-hopped it will take you to hop heaven. We’ve used hops in the boil, more hops in the giant hopback, and added to that, an incredible amount of dry-hopping for that cutting-edge “hop bite.” Once you’ve tasted this unique beer, all others pale in comparison. 1.072 OG Classified IBU 8%ABV

Bottle shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Slightly hazy golden. Aroma of hops, "green", a bit fruity, but also a bit stale. Flavor has mild sweetish malt, "green" hops, a bit fruity, slightly stale, and a moderately bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Could be fresher, but still nice. Very easy-drinking for an 8% Double IPA.

Bottle at Bishops Vasagatan. Pours slightly hazy amber with white head. PIney aroma and taste with lemon zest, grapefruit, peach and some herbal grass. A little bit of mellow hops here, but you can tell it’s a great beer when fresh.

2016-11-02, bottle from Bottle Jockey, Burnaby, bb May 2016, 6-4-6-3-12=31
Ok, I didn't see the date when I purchased the beer. It's a good Ale, not even a sweet or sticky one, but obviouslythe hop greatness is gone, and now it's down to Pale Ale level.
Drinkable.
2016-02-03, bottle from Elizabeth Station, Bellingham, bb 8 Jun 2016, 8-4-8-5-17=42
Hazy golden color. Strong aroma of hops, very musky, citrusy, cedar (fruit). Lean body, the sweetness level is adequate for my taste, very nice malt depth, just leaning a bit to caramel and toffee, and plenty of resiny and dank hopping, fruity too, a lot of oranges mainly.
Juicy delicious IIPA.

355ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, creamy, fairly lasting, and lacing, white head. Piney, citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, grapefruit, a zesty touch, hints of candied orange zest, lemon, lemon zest, somne resin, caramel malty basis. Taste is citrusy and bitter hoppy, piney, slightly resinous, notes of pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, caramel and pale malty backbone with moderate sweetness and cautious almond touch, candied lemon zest throughout, a grassy and leafy, almost peppery touch as well; full body, nevertheless dangerously drinkable. Superbly balanced, clean and flawless, but not engineered up to sterility - hop flavour spectrum remains uncut and delivers enough grassy- and hop-spiciness in unadulterated naturalness. Very good.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Hazy amber with fluffy off-white head. As expected, hops rule the day in both aroma and taste. Even with the hop variety listed, flavors lean toward the resinous, piney end of the spectrum. Bitter snap at the end.
