Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 10oz
Hazy golden color with small compact head. Oh lovely aroma of pungent hops and cat piss, driving into the flavor too, backed up by a lean crisp pale malt body. It also has a moderate fruity touch, some passion fruit, orange and cedar peel; rather dry beer. Balanced and modern IPA, fresh, excellent.

Draft - Bright grapefruit, lemon and grass. Clear gold with a nice white head. Grapefruit, lemon and a nice bitterness well balanced with some sweet malts. Well done.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out tangy hops as typical of this hop variety. Flavour is similar, with tangy citrusy hops upfront, with just enough malt to back. Very well-constructed, showcasing the Nelson Sauvin hops excellently. Great stuff.
