Ruby orange in color. Full of fruity hops, caramel malts, and spicy yeast notes. Stays quite bold from start to lasting finish. One of the better Belgian inspired DIPAs I’ve had.

Corked bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Cloudy amber color with medium sized head. Nice aroma, oranges, citrusy hops, and a mild spicy note. The mouthfeel is a bit harsh; caramel flavor, a bit dusty; moderately sweet; it has a strange spicy character that doesn’t marry very well with the hops, and the final has a hint of chicory too.
Good but rough.

Bottle. Amber with an off-white head that fades to a good coat. Aroma of lime, oranges, dough, pine, grapey herbal notes. Sweet but not lush, strongish bitterness straight away sharpening as it dries out quite a lot. Oily citrus flavours - lime, grapefruit, bitter oranges. Herbal and a bit woody at the bitter finish. Interesting in that it’s a very tightly focussed sort of a beer; would have liked something a little more broadly engaging at this strength. But it’s good what it’s trying to do.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark amber with light white head. Aromas of caramel malts and light pine, with a light yeastiness. Flavors of dry toasted malts, bitter pine, grass and dried fruit. Very bitter for a DIPA. Not what I was expecting based on previous reviews. Can’t say it’s anything special.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy / hazy dark amber with a small white head. Nose brings out zesty piney hops, light Belgian yeast, and some white wine-like tanginess. Flavour is certainly unique and lovely, with notes of zesty citrus hops, pine, Belgian yeast, and the aforementioned white wine-like tanginess. The Belgian quality mixes wonderfully with the hoppy west coast IPA quality. Excellent stuff.
