If you know you know. Tin Hat Mountain is located in our local back country complete with beautiful 360 degree views of the surrounding area. It's the highest elevation along the Sunshine Coast Trail so while its a trek to get up to, it's worth it every time. What better to inspire a west coast IPA than the views of this mesmerizing landscape we get to call home here on the coast.

Poured from 473mL can (08/Jan/2025). Hazed orangey brown with small off white head. Caramel and crystal malt with mild pine hops, feint citrus, hint of soap. Old school west coast style, but not very well executed. Average.

Bomber bottle. Poured warm it has significant head though of low density, and a medium gold body with fairly heavy carbonation. The aroma is semi-juicy hops with reliable oiliness. Flavour is a nice balance between malt and hops, not overhopped like some IPAs these days. Medium finish. Adequate IPA, well balanced.

Light citrus. Dark amber pour with some head and lacing. Light bitter finish. Soft carbonation. Easy drinking but not much here. Tap at Barley Brothers Stadium.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney and citrusy hops, with an English hop quality, and a zesty malt base. Flavour brings out lots of piney hops, with secondary notes of citrus and dry crackery malt. Nice and piney. Finishes piney and slightly astringent. Much better than the average ratings suggest.

Dark amber...wow this is one the darkest IPAs I have seen. Aroma has a lot of lychee, with light amounts of orange zest, canned pears, spruce and maybe a dash of Special B. A fair bit of deep crystal chewiness, with a touch of earthy, resiny and slightly orangey hop. I’d call this is an imperial amber - nothing "pale" about this, but a good beer if you know what to expect.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice arom aof creamy hops. Good body; caramel flavor, bold, a bit chewy, with piney resins from the generous hopping, but also a strange coffee feeling.
Nothing special, a bit hard for an IPA.
