Cloudy amber color with some orange hue. Some citrus peel in the aroma, but also earthy. Good body, the malt base has some caramel character, moderately sweet; the bitterness is strong, the hop is fairly resiny, it doesn’t get classy with the earthy grapefruit bitterness.
Harsh.

Can: Poured a cloudy bright orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of fresh citrus hops with some grapefruit juice is quite enticing. Taste is a mix of fresh citrus hop with some grapefruit juices with some residuals sugar notes which offset most of the bitterness. Body is full with good carbonation. Great IPA and I liked the fact that the grapefruit notes are quite bold.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a hazy bright orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tons of grapefruit upfront, followed by loads of resinous hops, and a touch of caramel malt. Flavour is quite sweet, with lots of sweet caramel providing a solid base, transitioning to grapefruit and citrus hops. Nicely constructed, juicy and sweet; I prefer the base beer by a little.

Tall can from Legacy. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and lots of candied citruses. Taste is grapefruity and piney bitterness. Same aftertaste. Very good.

On tap. Pours a dark hazy amber with light foamy head. Aromas of canoed fruit and sweet malts. Flavors of bitter acrid fruit, dry grapefruit and toasted malts with a light piney finish.
