Our bold West Coast IPA packs a powerful punch with intense hop character bursting from the Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, and Citra hops.

On tap at Tap & Barrel. Pours clear gold with a white head. Harsh pine on the nose. Flavour has candied orange peels, some pine, and a very harsh chemical bitterness. Maybe diacetyl? Either way, quite harsh and hard to drink.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 30/03/2021). Semi clear amber orange with off white head. Light caramel malt with orange peel and earthy hops. A little lacklustre.

Cloudy golden colour. Moderately dank; the malt base is lightly sweet, The hop character is basically orange peel and candied orange; bit of pithy bitterness in the finish.
It seems to have improved since my previous visit.

Clean amber colour. The malt profile is a bit caramelly and grainy, as the colour suggested; light residual sweetness, enough to create a feeling of stickiness; the hops give some herbal resinous touch, a bit herbaceous in the finish.
Old style IPA, and not a bright display of hops either, but still an ok beer, just weird to find it in 2018.

On tap at the brewery. Clear medium amber with a small off white head that leaves minimal lace. Nose is light caramel with resinous pine and some citrus. Flavour follows with light caramel sweetness and a medium pine bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a long bitter finish. 7/3/7/3/13

On tap at Bomber, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out tons of diacetyl, along with caramel malt sweetness and resinous hops. Flavour is ruined by diacetyl, with spicy hops in back, low malt profile. Unfortunately the butter ruins this. Cannot drink this (guess I should wait a year before rating this young brewery though, right?). No good.

Cloudy, tan, thin head. Aroma is papaya, lemon, grapefruit...nice hop character, moderate bitterness, nice well drinking IPA. The malts aren’t great - a touch husky, but a minor complaint, really.
