Hopped exclusively with love and admiration. Two words that perfectly characterize our counterparts on this beer, @alibiroomvancouver and @brassneckbrew. Made in celebration of the Alibi Rooms 12 year anniversary.

473mL can, pours an opaque cloudy peachy golden with a small white head. Nose is very dank, with lots of pot-like hops, stone fruits and biscuity malt. Flavour follows through, with lovely dank hops, followed by pithy stone fruits, and a bit of yeasty. Assertive and dank in the right amount. Excellent.

Draught @ Alibi. Opaque, just a thin head. Massive aroma - grapefruit, pine, and cannabis. Very bitter...oh wow...piney and dank...bright hops and lots of them. Just a touch of yeast and alcohol influence. Stellar - this distinguishes itself from its peers. Post-script: In cans it's more of a 4.0, still great but doesn't seem as distinguished as what I had on tap, which was heads and tails above Echolocation, an excellent beer in its own right.

Tall can (thx, Alex!). Canned on 2018-06-02. Pours a dirty blonde with a huge white head. Aroma is tropical fruits with pineapple notes. Taste is a bit sweet, along with the aroma. Although it does not have enough body as I would expect for 8%, it is a nice beer.

Draft - Super Dank and some citrus peel. Murky gold with a small white head. Dank citrus notes and a long pithy with a touch of spice finish. Love the dank.

2018-06-09, draught at Brassneck, 7-3-7-3-15=35
Very minty aroma, minty flavour, nettles, some vegetable bitterness. Weird today.
2018-06-05, draught at Strathcona, Vancouver, 8-3-8-3-17=39
Murky yellow-orange colour, compact head. The aroma is very juicy, mango, moderately dank, hint of pineapple. Smooth and robust mouthfeel, a bit chalky, sweet, but balanced by the bitterness; very juicy hopping, mango oranges and tropical fruits, lightly harsh and pithy in the final.
NE IPA with enough bitterness.
Lovely, and will be better in a week.
