A style originating in Britain but surpassed in the New World. Ours is robust, dry and flavoured with bucket loads of spicy Pacific Northwest hops.

On tap at Yaletown. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Old resins on the nose. Flavour has stale pine, resins, and a slightly chewy malt character. Not bad, not great.

Sharp lime and grapefruit. A little better than the other three I had here but everything is relative here. Golden pour with decent head and lacing. Bitter and tangy finish. Tap at brewery.

Amber, slight chill haze. Thin head. Earthy hop nose with a touch of biscuity malt and some overripe fruit. Moderate bitterness and the fruity hop taste is still vacillating between overripe orchard fruits, and subtle berry character.

Has a soft hoppy aroma with nothing else on it. Nice copper body and decent head, minimal carbonation. Flavour is fruity hops with a dry finish. It’s a nice IPA for sure, I’d drink it again, but I likely wouldn’t remember it among so many good IPAs out there.

Draft - Bright grapefruit and a nice caramel backbone. Clear copper with a rich beige head. Lots of grapefruit, with some caramel and a nice sweetness. Finish has a bit of resin. Pretty good.

On tap at Yaletown, pours a clear full copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out spicy hops, syrupy caramel, and bready malt. Flavour is malty but not sweet thankfully, with spicy hops and dry caramel bready malt. Not my kind of IPA at all, but this is well-enough balanced. Average.
