Bottle shared thanks to Deanso. Pours clear amber with a small off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, citrus, nettles, soap, malt and orange peel. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter. Malt aspects coming out strong in the palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Hazy dark orange pour with a tall sticky off-white head. Earthy aroma of citrus rind and pine. Starts sweet with bitterness in the middle and a dry finish. Average as far as IPAs go, Better than many ’organic’ beers that I’ve tried.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy light amber color, with creamy head. The aroma is quite anonymous for an IPA. The body is quite strong, the mouthfeel is smooth, but the flavor is stale, some malt and old wet cereals; it has a strong bitterness level, but no real hop qualities.
Boring.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy golden orange with a medium off-white head. Nose if full of buttery, floral hops, with some dry earthy notes. Flavour is the same, with dry, bitter, earthy hops, a subtle floral kick and just enough malt to back, though still quite unbalanced is it has a noticeable astringency. Decent, middle-of-the-road IPA.

Beautiful hazy copper with full white head. Spicy bitterness on the nose. Full mouthfeel, alcohol is present. Sweetness on the finish. Great green and spicy bitterness. Strong malt rounds the beer out well.
