On tap at Fuggles & Warlock, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops upfront, backed by a dry biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is loaded with piney hops upfront, moderate resin and a dry biscuity malt. Coats the tongue in piney hops with sufficient resins and a low malt backbone. Low astringency on the finish as well. Wonderfully constructed IPA.

Bottle from Darby’s Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy copper color, medium sized head. It’s actually more noticeable for the nice bready and biscuity malts, lean and quite dry, than for the hops; it has a good degree of bitterness, a lot of hop resins, but no hop fruitiness. End of the hop barrel.
Nice beer, not what is expected though.

Draft - Nice sweet Mandarin hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet citrus with a touch of pith and a nice citrus finish. Solid.
