On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out pungent piney and resinous hops upfront, with a soft caramel biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is very citrusy, with lots of bright oranges, grapefruit, and citrus, plenty of piney hops, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Bright, citrusy and piney. A nice IIPA of the non-hazy variant—very welcomes. Very good.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour, small head. The aroma is mildly dank and citrusy. Dry mouthfeel, light crisp base, good citrus hopping, grapefruit peel, bold bitterness.
Not the brightest beer, but it's a solid choice.

On tap at the brewer. Vaguely orange gold body with minimal foam after a few minutes. Now, is Joy Division music better than Chromeo for beer? I swear that's a PHD thesis right there. This has plenty of orangey hops on the nose, kind of shining and sugary. Flavour is more bright orange with some sweet hops on the back end. Medium finish. Simply okay, though missing much excitement on the back end. I kind of hanker for McDonald's on Burrard but this beer screams A&W on the back end, so I am torn.
