This ale’s golden amber color only hints at its full-bodied flavor. Its sumptuous maltiness is tempered by a goodly amount of bitterness and a mouth-filling hop flavor. In order to finish our I.P.A. with a truly fresh hop bouquet, we dry hop this ale in the serving tank with both East Kent Goldings and Mount Hood hops.

Okay modest head and gold body with a fine hoppy aroma (or hoopy. I forget.) Nice hops flavours with a dry finish, slightly sweet. A good IPA, somewhere in the upper middle of those I’ve tasted.

Some fruit in initial smell, probably apple. Pours cloudy golden with pretty good lacing and some head. Although the first smell is ok, the aftertaste is astringent, almost chemical. Not entirely pleasant. On tap at brewpub.

Tap @ Steamworks, Vancouver. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste grass, soap, malt and hops. A little boring and too few hops present.
