16 oz can poured picked up at Container. About 5 months past the canning date, but in my defense, it was about 3.5 months old when I grabbed it at the source. The good news, it's still drinking great. Cloudy burnt golden color with a rocky foam head. Aroma has an inviting piney hop, with some orange zest and hints of a caramel malt. Resinous bitter piney hops fill the palate. Flavorful hop forward brew, although the malt bill fights for balance throughout. Lingering stinging piney hops. Really nice, flavorful west coast IPA here.

473 ml can. Pours a clear amber with moderate bubbly head. Aromas of passion fruit, sweet pithy orange juice, resin and soft toasted malts. Flavors of bitter pine, resin, bitter citrus and sharp toasted malts. Very bitter finish

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out piney hops, resinous hop pils, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and bitter, with piney hops, resinous oils, and crisp biscuity malt. Finishes bitter, with a touch of oiliness. Well-made.

Clear gold with a decent white head. Perfumy pine. Bitter and piney, old school.

Can from Jak's, Granville South, Vancouver
Beautiful golden colour, bright, almost clean. The aroma is piney, zesty, intense, mild bread, light juniper. The mouthfeel is mostly dry, the malt base is crispy, lightly bready; bold bitterness, there are some harsh resins (other modern IPAs have a brighter hop accent). Good, modern West Coast IPA.

Murky gold body and little foam, soft chewy hops on the nose. Flavour is bitter chewy hops, vague caramel, lingering bitter hops that don't jive well with my tastebuds. Not too bad, seems a little clunky.
