Cloudyish medium gold body and modest foam. Weedy dank hops on the nose, a bit of floor cleaner, somehow it works well here. Taste is sweet dank hops, a soft hit of caramel, ending smooth and oily. A crowd pleasing west coast IPA hitting all the right notes.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber-gold with a large, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick patches of soapy lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit, peach, papaya and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, peach, papaya, grapefruit peel and pine resin in a dry, bitter hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty and well balanced.

On tap at Category 12, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Nose reveals a sort of strange herbaceous hop character and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and piney in the hop department, with some grassiness and crisp biscuity malt. Bright and nicely bitter. Well-made.

Can from Legacy LRS, vancouver
Blond colour, hazy, with medium sized head. Fresh aroma of citrusy and piney hops. The mouthfeel is robust and dry at the same time, it has a subtleflavour of bready malts, followed by an explosion of piney hops, some bitter citrus peel.
Very good, modern West Coast IPA.

Amber colour, with a fairly thick head. This has a fairly bright aroma, lots of peachy, papaya and grapefruit hops. On the palate there’s a hefty bitterness that recalls the old lupulin threshold shift days. The hops still have a some tropical accents. The malts are mostly pale, but some chewiness pops in a bit, too.
