A fresh tropical fruit and citrus hop profile over an understated bready caramel malt body. A tasty take on the wcipa theme. Touches of soap and pepper, and some fruit rind in the finish round it out

On tap at 2015, pours a hazy copper with a medium beige head. Nose is full of butter — argh, that is not pleasant. Flavour is even more offensive, with all sorts of diacetyl that totally destroys this. There's a caramel malt character on the other side but it's a moot point. The diacetyl has destroyed this.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver, can
Cloudy dirty orange color. Strong aroma of orange juice and grapefruit. Astringent, soapy, some caramel and grains in the malt base, finishing with some vegetable bitterness and rough hop resins.
Clumsy.

Tall can (thx, Alex Led.!) at Brian's office. Pours a deep murky golden with a white head. First nose is slightly sweet with tropical fruits and some citruses, later it is becoming slightly dirty. Taste is similar with quite high piney hoppy bitterness. Harsh. Meh.

Light amber, slight haze. Thin head. There's a woody, slightly herbal hop nose with a mellow caramelly malt accent. Fairly bitter. The hops are woody, bright for that type of hop, but of course not bright compared with most IPAs these days. Malts are crackery, a bit toasty. Good example of a 90s IPA. I can enjoy this.
