A light blonde with a lot of hops. All jokes aside, this hybrid mash-up is part blonde ale, part ISA, and part American Wheat Ale. Brewed using only Citra for the kettle and dry hop, this beer is big on tropical hop flavour without an overwhelming bitterness.

On my second flight at the Drake Eatery on 14th August 2025. Light haze to the golden body, white crust on top. Citrus lead in the nose and taste, wheat esters and flavours too. Mild piney traces towards the finish.

473mL can. Pours cloudy yellow with thin white head. Aroma has citrus pulp and rind, spruce. Flavour has a lot of pulpy citrus, some light malts, spruce; generally thin flavour and not well-combined.

Dark blonde, just a thin head. Low bitterness and it’s quite thin. Not that much hop character.

On tap. Pours a clear amber with light head. aromas of floral hops, pine and dried malts. Flavors follow same. Clean but nothing special.

Mango fruity notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Fruity mango and a light finish.

Growler brought back to Vancouver from Port Alberni. Pours heavily carbonated dirty yellow with pretty good foam on top. Nice wet hoppiness on the nose but somewhat refined. Flavour is a good hop blend with some soft grain on the back end to help it out. Mouthfeel is not too full but comes off as refreshing. This is a great lighter drinking beer.
