335 ml can. Pours a dull hazy brown/amber with moderate head. Aromas of lupilin powder, papaya, and wheaty malts. Flavors follow same with addition mango. Heavy for a Pale Ale and more like a hazy…

6oz. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: very fruity with some notes that remind me about coffee for some reason, smells very juicy. Taste: along the same lines, quite citrusy. Overall: this one is quite nice, one of my favorite from Studio so far (after Take my money and Concrete).

Hazy, has a bit of dullish beige colour to it. Big, frothy head. Expansive, weedy hop aroma. I mean Dopesmoker started playing in my head when I smelled this. Nice hit of that Vienna malt in there, too. I like that note – I know some of that was the power of suggestion but knowing it’s there allows me to really appreciate it. On the palate it comes across more grassy, in that overdone way, and that sucks. But the malt base is still pretty good, and that bodes well for this brewery if they can hit the malts consistently on their hazy products. But here’s the thing. This has diacetyl. Finish your sample quick, you don’t notice. But yeah, it’s there after about five or ten minutes. That sucks, because if you get to this before you notice it, it’s really good beer. But I have never been able to untaste diacetyl.

Good light orange body and decent foam, smells of good weedy hops, plenty of sugar to bring it forward. Flavour's nice sweet piney hops, heavy vegetal component, lingering pithiness. Great balance of refreshing yet still lingering oiliness. Enjoyable, easy.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy pale orange gold with white head. Some dankness up front, biscuit malt, mild citrus and pine hops.

On tap at Studio, pours a cloudy peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity and dank, with lots of mandarins, dank hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is beautifully dank, extracting a pretty potent hop flavour for an APA, with gentle tropical fruit, and a fairly dry biscuity malt backbone. Love that dankness from the hops. Excellent.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy to murky yellow-orange colour. There seem to be some stone fruit aroma that tries to surface. The mouthfeel is mostly dry, good choice, lean, not chalky, but the hopping is not juicy as one would expect, it's lightly piney, citrus peel, and definitively bitter, IPA level. Atypical, but pleasant.
