A full-flavored beer with a silky malt backbone and a bright hop profile of tropical fruit, and citrus – it packs all the taste of an IPA with much more friendly alcohol content. Tropical in taste with floral notes, this everyday IPA was made to accompany you on any adventure.

Can - Caramel, biscuit and some citrus. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Decent citrus, hard candy and light caramel. Decent, but nothing particularly interesting.

Modest head, lots of carbonation, medium gold-orange lager type body.Fruity hops, the usual, peaches and pears and oranges oh my. Good hazelnut flavour on top of the fruity hop notes. Crisp and dry finish, refreshing. A better IPA than usual.

Bronze, bright. Frothy head. Earthy grapefruit hops, toasted, caramel malts. Sweet, the malts are quite nice...toasty, juicy barley. Hops are understated, earthy, ok balance with the malts, though lacking in brightness for a modern IPA.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Golden orangey yellow with near white head. Cross between tropical and piney hops, light bready malt in the background. Light, easy drinking, doesn’t quite blend though.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Amber color, clean. The aroma is mild, fruity, stone fruit. The mouthfeel is not too dry or weak, mild residual sweetness; nice malt profile, a bit toffeish; relatively strong hopping, although the hop qualities are mild, there are some hard resins, and a hint of bitter orange.
Overall, unexciting, but clean and drinkable.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops upfront, with a litre citrus and some hop oils. Flavour brings out lots of tropical fruity and citrusy hops, some pine and a lightly sweet caramely bready malt base. Lovely tropical fruit presence to this. Nice stuff - one of the best Vancouver Island beers.
