Draft at the brewery. Orange pour with a sweet, malty aroma. Citrus fruit flavor with an overwhelming amount of malt. Very hop heavy finish as well. A little boozy. Tastes strong. Overall, pretty good.

6.5% on tap at CBB, 700 yen for a half pint. A clear light copper color with a bitter hoppy taste, very clean. A nicely balanced malty  backbone perfectly matched with a lemony hop flavor. Very nice.

Draught at the brewpub
Hazy amber color, with medium sized creamy head. Nice aroma, caramel and hop fruitiness, light sweat. The body is quite good; strong flavor of caramel, some malt, good hops, with provide mild resins in the front, and light fruitiness later; strong but not excessive bitterness.
Solid, good, a bit sturdy.

Draft - Grapefruit and perfumy aromatics with sweet caramel. Clear amber with a rich long lasting but small head. A sweetish IPA with the bubble gum characteristics and a nice bitterness. Finish has some resin and chalk with some more bitterness to boot. A nice imperial, if the finish were a little smoother it would have been great.

On tap at Boundary Bay Brewpub, pours hazy golden orange. Very fruity on the nose, with peach and mango, and of course a barrage of hops. Flavour of intense, slightly bitter hops, and strong peach, mango and grapefruit. Really well-balanced - extremely delicious.

On tap at the BP. Served in a tulip glass. Nice rich deep copper color wiht nary a film of a head. Full malty aroma of toasted malts, caramel, and sweet citrusy hops. More like a BW. Flavor was full and rich. Lots of maltiness and balanced well. Not very bitter. The ABV was apparent but complimented well. A nice strong IIPA

Impossible to get a head on (tried myself, this time (!)), orange-foxy ale. Grapey, rich hops nose, good USA hops. Sweet-bitter orange marmalade and hints of alcohol. Taste is again typical orange marmalade. It’s discreet for an ’Imperial’, but that helps actually its delicacy. Medium to well-bodied impression; slick, alcohol in the aftertaste. Serious attempt at delicacy rather than at overwhelming bigness. Bravo - I’ve had plenty of different...

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy reddish. Strong grapefruit aroma. Sweet and thick with plenty of hop induced lychee and grapefruit flavour. Like in the other beers here the mouthfeel is syrupy and sticky. The finish is very bitter, but sticky sweetness still gets the upper hand.
