This blend of Pale and Carapils malts with a pinch of wheat and a motherlode of Cascade hops is the gold mine you’ve been searching for.

Strong vegetable aroma on very white head and a kind of light copper body. Flavour is much the same, nearly sour hops and lots of cabbage notes and sweetness. Oily finish. A more bitter IPA, not bad, abv is quite subdued which is nice but not a spectacular brew.

Poured from 650mL bottle (No. 016 - 3rd Anniversary). Very slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal white head. Cereal malt with mild sweaty grapefruit hops, resin finish. Not a ton of flavour here, quite subdued... a little bit boring.

Bottle from Legacy, Vancouver
Hazy light amber color with small head. The aroma and flavor are characterized by strong cereals character, grainy, hearty; strong bitterness, slightly resiny and citrusy, but not bright.
Quite disappointing, in 2017, and from Barkerville.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is musty, with lots of herbal hops, some sweat and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with musty hops, herbal notes, and dry biscuity notes. This is really underwhelming, especially for Barkerville. Herbal, musty finish. It's okay.

Bottle, Legacy. Slight haze, amber. Thin head. Aroma starts with alcohol, biscuity malts. Bitter, touch of alcohol, earthy hops - maybe a touch of marmalade- well made though maybe not that bright.
