Dry hopped with whole leaf hops from the Yakima Valley, combined with Maris Otter English barley, which is floor-malted in age old tradition. A long maturation ensures plenty of flavour, with strong aromatics of grapefruit, tangerine and mango.

Despite not finding a date, well, oh, okay, here’s the rest poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-dark red/burnt close to brown sort of color with a slim sort of semi-finger-ed sort of white messy head. Lacing was few and far between.
The smell started off with the sweet caramel/toffee malty backbone covering a slight sweet to dry sort of tobacco aftertaste and finish.
The taste was mostly the same with the same sort of dry/sweet almost \"tobacco\" sort of flavoring coming about.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it.
Overall, damn nice beer that I would have again.

Big bottle bought in BC Liquor store. Pours a clear golden amber. Aroma is ripe fruits with hoppy notes. Sweet bitterness of ripe fruits in the taste. Piney bitterness and bready notes in the aftertaste. Very good.

Bottle from On the Fly Gasmart. High quality IIPA, not exceptional but solid through and through. Pours out a medium reddish amber with frothy head. Aroma is sweet smelling malty hoppiness. Taste hits the tongue square on with tingly hop bitterness. Slick, slippery feel, but finishes quick, the only knock against this otherwise tasty brew.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. Tan head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sour caramel aromas. Thick with bitter sourdough, toffee and roasted nuts upfront turning to bitter resin and pith in the lasting finish. Perhaps this bottle has been on the shelf too long....
