Listed on their beer menu as Double IPA at 8.0% abv and no other information on hop profiles but this listing looks closest. The aroma is lots of fruit notes, citrusy, passionfruit for sure. Has a milky orange body with minimal foam. Flavour is nice fruit hops, good passionfruit notes. Mouthfeel is full with hints of chalk and chunky hops. There's well hidden alcohol, this is a decent big IPA.

Bottle from Kitsilano Liquor Store
Cloudy golden color, small color. Grainy malts, some vegetable, light residual sweetness, strong alcohol footprint, some fusels, sweat, and burning final.
The result of some brewer who can’t manage high octane fermentation. Not good.

Hazy, light tan. No head. The aroma is skunked and stank...no sign of the brighter hops, more like cheesy oxidized hop. Has a bitter, sort of sulphury note, a fair bit of chewy malt, and a dash of alcohol.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, sweaty notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very musty and sweaty, with lots of boiled vegetables, sweaty notes, BO and astringent hoppiness on the finish. Very sweaty and vegetal. No good at all.
