Hazy, amber. Looks nice. The aroma is bright El Dorado, with gooseberry, mandarin and some kinda doughy pale malts. These malts end up clashing with juicy hop notes on the palate...and the bitterness is strong as well. Wondering if these hops are more suited to a lighter apa/session ipa/golden ale sort of beer. Still pretty good.

Amber with beige head.Fruity,dry hop nose.Big bitter hop profile, very light malt. Ok but needs more malt for body and balance

On tap at Darby's, pours a hazy golden copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle some piney and floral hops upfront, not much else. Flavour is extremely floral, with an almost perfumey hop quality to this. Just enough biscuity malt to back. Nothing special but it's reasonably done. Meh.

Draught at Darby’s Pub, Vancouver
Cloudy golden color, small head. The hop aroma is nice but too timid, it’s a bit resiny and fruity. The mouthfeel is lean, quite dry, and the malt flavor is a bit bready and not too strong, yet the hop qualities are not bright, just a bit resiny, and the final even a bit earthy. Strong bitterness.
Decent IPA.
