Draft - Grapefruit and a touch of Woody pine. Deep clear copper with a nice beige head. Piny, bitter and some perfume. Rye and some spice in the finish. Quite nice.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity, with stone fruits, light spice and caramel maltiness also upfront. Flavour is very rough, with a big caramel malt backbone upfront, rye notes, and some resinous hops. Too much malt and a very rough hop profile. A very messy beer. 6 3 6 3 13 3.1 / 5

Just like fiulijn, I sampled this at the brewpub, and it was much better. Everything was in better balance and very cohesive. Strange how messed it up it got on the way to Vancouver. 7 4 8 4 15 3.8 / 5

My rating blends my two experiences with the beer.

Hazy dark amber color with creamy head. Deeply spicy beer, with penetrating citrusy hops; strong bitterness: there is plenty of grapefruit peel too, and some passion fruit aroma; it’s a bit too earthy in the final.
Top conditions. Very satisfying.

Hazy brown color, small head. This one has a strong rye base, hence the aroma and flavor are not only spicy but they present a light coffee note; dry mouthfeel, quite weak; strong ending bitterness with some harsh hop resins, not much fruity character.
It’s a bit unbalanced, too harsh. A core rye IPA. Nothing bad with it, if this is what you are looking for.
