A modest IPA with a refreshingly light body. Key notes of tropical fruit and resinous subtleties give way to a crisp, clean finish.

650ml Bomber. Impressive nose on this session ipa. Dank, strong citrus Aroma. Grassy, but also oily and very fruity. I would never have guessed this was a session ipa. Most of the time they are very light on flavour and quite boring. This resembles a dank, floral strong citrus flavoured ipa. This was great!

Modest gold body and soft white head. Soft detergent hop aroma. Flavkyr is sharp hops on the floral side, juniper-ish even. Good mouthfeel, some modest oiliness. Good sessionable IPA.

Draft pour at Four Winds. First visit! About time I made it here. A mostly clean, shiny golden pour. Thin, oily head. Quite nose to this. Hints of grains. Flavor is an impressive piney, medium bitter hop constant. Flavorful, but the beer remains having an overall light feel. Could drink this all day, so it's an excellent addition to the style.

On tap. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Dank aroma of tropical fruit, tangerine, orange peel, floral, pine and pale malt. Sweet flavour of pale malt, orange peel, tropical fruit and pine resin with a crisp, dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Light to almost medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. An excellent session ipa. I had to look twice at the ABV. It drinks like a much bigger ipa, having both flavour and some punch to it.

Light, bright amber. Hoppy nose and palate. Lighter body but just enough residual sugar. Clean, balanced and enjoyable session IPA.

On tap at 12 Kings. Pours an almost ckear blonde with a weak white head. Aroma is tropical fruits with some unappropriate dirty notes. Taste is bitter, hoppy with the same dirty notes. Bitter aftertaste.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Hazy golden color with compact head. The aroma is loaded with tropical fruit, some piney hops and citrus peel too. The mouthfeel is very dry, but doesn’t seem weak; delicate background of crackery malts, followed by piney hops; in the final the bitterness is excessive and unbalanced, like chicory, this is the only undesired trait in an otherwise excellent beer. Clean. Uncompromising.
Very good job.
