473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of pine and caramel malts on the nose. Flavour has lots of bright piney hops, a bit of dank oils, and a thick caramel malt body. Finishes nice and crisp. Very nice.

Pineapple marmalade, without being super sweet. Golden clear pour with pretty good initial head. Some lacing. Bitter finish with some mash tang that puts you off a little. Maybe some inconsistency in batches based on reviews? Otherwise I just don't see it. Can.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, some gentle dankness, and crisp biscuity malt -- that smells legit. Flavour is bright and piney, with tons of piney hops, oily dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright piney, but with good balance, and a bright, crisp finish. This is excellent.

Poured from 473mL can (canned 07/05/2023). Clear gold with white head. Pomelo, pine, citrus hops, feint tropical note, some underlying sticky malt. Actually quite nice.

Can @ Jaks Richmond. Beautiful bright amber. Medium head. Hops bright pine, lemon verbena, pomelo, and the malts are clean biscuity, touch of caramelization. Balanced, medium bitterness, a touch pithy. Mellow citrus notes, again a light but complex malt character. Damn, this is a rock solid IPA -probably the best new one in BC since that first batch of Greg.

473 ml can. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of pineapple, candied citrus, pine, and toasted malts. Flavors of pine, bitter citrus and toasted malts. Clean, but the flavors don’t live up to the promising aromas…

473ml can. Pours a clear orange gold with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, orange and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, mango, pineapple, orange and light piney hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Easy to drink, but could use more kick. More of an east coast meets west coast kind of IPA.
