Seems this one is not out of production, and the can doesn’t spec a specific hop. Anyway… 473 ml can. Pours a bright amber with moderate head. Aromas of tropical fruit, candied citrus, a bit of pine, and bready malts. Flavors of pine, dull melons, bitter citrus, a bit of pineapple, and dry toasty malts. Very bitter finish. Nice on the nose, but doesn’t really deliver.

Draft pour enjoyed at Brassneck, Vancouver. Clean golden shiny appearance. Rocky head. Bready malts with a spicy note and a cool bite. Bitter grassy hops with a waxy note. Tastes stronger than its single IPA listing. Would guess it's much higher than it's modest near session status. Big and bold bitter west coast IPA here. Interesting hop bill. Om board with this in the end.

16oz shared with Andrey (thx, man!). Appearance: a bit hazy dirty golden with a white head. Aroma: some candies, malt, slight veggie notes. Taste: along the same lines, quite bitter. Overall: pretty good old-school.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hop oils, light resins, and sweet caramely biscuity malt. Flavour is sweet and malty, with piney hops, caramel and biscuity malt. A little too malty for my taste. It's okay.

Hazy golden colour with compact head. Candied fruit and hop resins, with delicious crispy malt base.
Excellent.

Light amber colour, hazy, with compact head. Clean beer, with lean but solid mouthfeel, mild malt flavour, some hop resins; I'm not getting particular vibes here, it's not old style but at the same time it didn't embrace the modern West Coast IPA paradigm, at least it's well brewed and very clean.
