On tap at Chainline, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out some herbal, grassy hops, biscuity malt and some light tropical fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, with herbal, weedy hops, biscuity malt and some dankness. All over the place, as with all their IPAs. It's okay, but messy and lacking cohesion.

Draft pour at Winter Beer Fest, and then again, pint draft at Chainline. Solid imperial here. Pours a copper reddish color with a thin fizz head. Mixed aroma of piney hops and a sweet caramel malt. Cool flavor with a fruity hop constant. Doesn’t bite hard for an imperial. Cool, juicy, and delicious.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper gold with medium off white head that lasts. The aroma is dank and grapefruit. Medium body, grapefruit, orange peel, pine, light resin finish, very good.
