This seasonal, dry hopped IPA’s ingredients and completely sourced within 500km of the Steamworks Brewery. This collaboration beer is brewed using entirely BC hops and malts from BC hop grower Chris Sartori. Using fresh Centennial Hops, this vibrant, floral brew exudes a citrus, earthy aroma. Round that out with a pale and honey malt and a beautiful balance is created. Pouring a rich topaz, this quaffable beer is sure to please even the biggest of hop heads.

(Tap) Clear amber with tiny head. Surprisingly little aroma- floral hints. Medium body with bright carbonation. Taste has nice toffee malt and some pleasant hoppy bitterness but not enough to live up to its name. Nice easy drinking beer though.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is slightly sweet, malty, fruity and dirty. Taste is pretty the same, quite harsh though. I seem it was better in 2015.

Very modest head and clear golden body. Mixture of hop notes on the nose, from sour to sweet, but not too pungent. Flavour is faint hops on a few layers, very thin, no oiliness, kinda watery finish. Not too exciting really.

2024. Draught @ Gastown. The fact that I last had this beer on cask at Garrick's Head is definitely not what I would have expected. Too bad it's not nearly as enjoyable this year. Pale, just a slight haze. Medium head. Some dankage but also bland vegetables and onion. Malt is a touch gloppy. Nice lacing. But overall this isn’t coming together for me. 3 6 5 2 11 = 2.6 2015. Cloudy amber with a thick head. Cask @ Garrick’s Head. Has a pretty big dry hop aroma. Body is a touch thin and yeasty but in general it’s a decent biscuity bright ipa with some really fresh centennial character. 8 2 7 3 13 = 3.3

2015-10-18, draught at the brewpub, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy light amber color. Very fruity, not the aroma and the flavor; the malt profile is a bit cloying though; correct bitterness.
Fruitier than the bottled version.
Nice.

Hazy dark blond color, the head disappears quickly. A nice Pale Ale, more than IPA, on the dry side, with timid malts, and decent hopping; not striking as fresh hop beer though.
Nice.

Draft - Leafy, perfumy hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Tastes as it smells, really perfumy and a bit sweet. I like it, although quite a unique wet hop.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweaty armpits, earthy notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is hugely floral and quite fruity, with floral hops upfront like -- like you're licking a flower -- followed by some dried red fruits, and an earthy, floral finish. Dominated by the floral notes, this is quite nice for what it is. Nothing overly exciting, but it's clean and drinkable. Tastes much better than it smells.
