Can - Citrus and some pine. Clear gold with a rich white head. Bitter, pine and some orange skin. A bit of malt and overall pretty solid old school IPA.

Draught @ St. Augs. Amber, bright, with a thin head. On the nose, has a mild c-hop character. On the palate, light crystal malts, and a lot of piney, bitter c-hops. It's pretty chewy, even though I recognize that it's nowhere near as chewy as this type of beer got at one point (i.e. Fat Tug). Decent example, but you can see why these hops where a) as awesome as they were at the time and b) not nearly so attractive today.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy dark blond color. It's light colored and light malted, modern in concept; but this is Vancouver in 2018, so I'm amazed that this beer doesn't have any notable aroma, any quality malt base, and besides some clean hop resins, very little hop quality (pine, weed, citrus or juice, you pick).
Clean beer, flawless, rather boring and definitively below expectations.
