If Dave’s not in the office, he’s out on a cycling adventure. And he’s almost certainly drinking a beer afterwards. We don’t know why biking and beer go together so well, but they just do. We brewed this session IPA as a refreshing post ride snack with notes and aromas of tropical fruits, citrus, mixed berries, and grassy pine. Cheers to every ride!

500 ml bottle thanks to Aramchandler and Heather. Clear golden color. Aroma is mild fruit, straw, mild peach. Flavor is a nice blend of fruit, yeast, and pine. The finish is mildly bitter with a refreshing crisp texture. Nice brew!

Pours hazy gold into an English pint. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Dry with hay and bready caramel upfront turning to mild lemon before the medium length resin finish.

Bottle, 5/15/ bottling date. Pours slightly hazy yellow with a medium white creamy head and nice lacing.. Aroma is light, dank, potty, mango, papaya. Flavor is very light sweet, light bitter, juicy and dank, perhaps a hint of green onion. Light body, but surprisingly rounded out for a session IPA. Quite solid.

500 ml bottle. Lightly hazed honey gold color. Large rocky white head. Fragrant fruity malt aroma. Notes of peach and melon. Slightly tart fruity malt upfront. Bittersweet tropical fruit hops in middle. Bitter piney hops in finish. Well balanced with excellent flavor throughout.

Draught at Fog Bar, 8/12/17.
Fully hazed, though not cloudy, soft, peachy-gold body topped by a thin, white head of low retention.
Watermelon-grapefruit nose explodes out of the glass and is impressively strong, clear and bright, especially given a convex glass, cold serving temp and bar setting. Soft mango juice, waves of tropical fruit and tons of melon, it just keeps building and is highly pleasant to the last drop. No alcohol or resin.
Unfortunately for the beer, the flavors are a bit dull, bland and astringent, with a popcorny character that could be husky malt from such a low gravity and high attenuation. Extremely dry with peach fuzz, moderate grapefruit and light mango. Odd that the aroma contains so much bright, soft, ebullient juiciness and yet it translates so poorly to the flavor. Carbonation is engaging and there is no alcohol or resin noted.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours lightly hazy yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Very lean pithy hop aroma, with some dry citrus, lemon peel and grapefruit accents. Light sweet flavour, quite dry, with a bit of straw, more pithy citrus, pine needles. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Dry and pithy to close, with more piney accents, citrus peel, subtle minerality. Good stuff.

Hazy yellow. Faint aroma. All of their beers have a certain aroma profile same carb as the others. Creamy and smoothie like. Very faint grapefruit and orange peel.
