Copious quantities of hops and an assertive alcohol content are the foundation of our best-selling beer. Crystal malts and a blend of Yakima grown Fuggles, Centennial, Cascade, and Ahtanum hops impart a very satisfying balance. This ale is late-hopped in the hop back for added flavor and aroma.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy golden color, with creamy head. Mild aroma of citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is lean and the sweetness quite low, yet the malts are quite chewy, and despite the lighter color it shows a bit too much caramel; well, if this is still the original recipe, it would have been innovative back then, but today you can find crispier IPAs; strong bitterness, with hop resins and some chicory.
Good IPA.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a mostly clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out considerable citrus notes along with some moderate berry-like fruitiness. Flavour brings out citrus and piney hops upfront, followed by buttery bready malt. Lots of punch to this one. Nothing spectacular but it's well-made.

Draft @ Philadelphias Steaks and Hoagies Brewpub, Portland, OR. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small white head. Has a slightly sweetish malty hoppy citrus aroma. Malty hoppy bitter flavor with some nice hints of grapefruit. Has a malty hoppy bitter finish.

Bottle. Primary aroma is caramel, but there seems to be citrus and pine as well. Orange tinged amber color with a white head that just flattened. Medium body with smooth, mild carbonation. Flavor is more floral hop than anything else, with caramel beneath. The finish is not truly dry, but very pleasant. Seems more like a smooth ESB than an IPA. Really tasty drink in any case.

Bottle. Pours a hazy bubbly tawny. Ivory head, frothy and lasting. Strong aroma of citron, hops and notes of fir. Very hoppy, with caramel and a bit of sandiness. Lingering finish with lasting bitterness. Worth trying on draught or bottle.
