American style IPA– this IPA is edgy, aggressive & epitomises the new genre of North American IPA’s. This beer is light copper in colour, exploding with Summit, Cascade, Simcoe & Amarillo hops in 7 kettle hop additions and 2 dry hop additions. Despite this dominant hop character, the beer maintains a great balance between the malt & hops.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a hazy copper with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out piney hops and diacetyl. Flavour brings out lots of diacetyl, light pine, and biscuity malt. Too much of an infection here to be good, though not disastrous. Meh.

Light citrus hops and a good malt backbone. A very solid English style IPA. Pours amber with great head and lacing. Light bitter finish. Tap at brewpub.

Bottle. Dark bronze, offwhite rocky head. Light melonoidin, earthy hop profile which I would have guessed to be more english than they are, berries, a bit clay . Chewy cracker malt, mellow mouthfeel. Quite nice actually

Draught at the brewpub
Beautiful golden color with generous head. very nice hop aroma, largely citrusy, with some cedar fruit, citronella, chamomile. Lean body, light residual sweetness, clean malt flavor, and good citrusy character, a bit resiny.
Like this one very much.

Draft - Sweet, fresh grapefruit flavor. Light gold with a rich white head. Nice grapefruit, subtle bitterness, very drinkable.
