This daringly simple IPA was crafted using only the essentials: special amber malt and Ella hops. The Devilfish’s tropical notes and smooth finish are best savoured with a spicy seafood dish.

Cloudy dull tan, with a frothy, bubbly head. On the nose it’s yeasty but the Ella comes through as well, lending lighter tree fruits and grapefruity notes. Mild bitterness, some yeasty character, and muddled malts. There’s also a touch of tartness, which along with the turbid appearance indicates a yeast problem. The hop brightness from the nose isn’t there on the palate. Should have been better, but for the yeast.

Poured at 1.3 degrees celcius into a tulip glass. NIce modest head and foggy orange body with opaque copper hints. Soft hop aroma, sweet hops. Flavour is forthright sweet hops with a malt finish. Dry hazelnut notes. Well crafted.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy amber color, hazy, with generous head. It has a too strong grainy character for aroma and flavor; smooth, some caramel flavor; correct bitterness, a bit of resiny hops, and paper trace in the final. Herbaceous.
Decent beer, but a bit of a waste of hops.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy amber orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a mix of spicy and floral hops, slight light orange rind, and a bready malt. Flavour brings out a very strange mix of notes, with herbal, floral notes, some weird vegetal quality and a bready malt. More like a pale ale, I'm not digging the hops on this one. Very vegetal and herbal, with little oomph. Inoffensive, but not overly pleasant either.
