Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Cloudy yellow color, small compact head . The aroma delivers plenty of fruity hops quality, including citrus peel, and some manure. The malt is moderately crispy, the mouthfeel is lean (maybe too weak) and very dry; the hops add a nice zesty, citrusy, resiny, piney character, but the lack of body and sugars is not in favour of the balance, and the final also, although bitter, is too weak, no follow-through.
Overall, it’s a very good and enjoyable Pale Ale (what somebody could call a Session IPA also).

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy gilden with awhite head. Aroma is tropical fruits and piney hops. Same taste with piney bitterness and some dirty notes. Quite low palate, though. Good one.

Cloudy, aroma is bright, grapefruity and with tropical notes. Sweet, touch yeasty, with again some nice floral, subtropical hops.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of floral hops, a little pine, and a soft pillowy malt backbone. Flavour is fairly restrained, with a floral hop characteristic and a big yeast soup. Hopefully the clarity improves a bit, as this is very dirty right now. Decent but needs some work.
