On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Nose is quite herbal, earthy and caramely, smelling rather old. Flavour follows through, with earthy, cardboardy notes, stale hops, and toasted bread. Ugh, the hop character is almost nonexistent, and it just tastes stale. Old and lifeless. Pretty terrible.

Can. Amber and bright with a fair bit of head. Rather spicy, herbal hop nose. This is a bit on the caramelly side, some moderate bitterness, and generally earthy.

Can from Denman LRS, Vancouver, packaged 27-02-2018 (3 weeks ago)
Golden color, clear. Nice aroma, citrus peel. Dry mouthfeel; the malt base is a bit biscuity and grainy but less than Citra or Mosaic; the bitterness is strong, the hopping is very resiny, with a blend of pine and citrus peel.
The more balanced among the three. Still, I wish they could chose a more modern malt base.
