Cask at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
The casks at T&B are usually moved to the bar half hour before tapping them; no surprise that the beer is murky; golden to light amber color with small creamy head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy; oranges, some mango, light hop sweat, very light mint. Round and soft mouthfeel; good body structure, lean and easy to drink; good malt flavor, very rich and present, moderately sweet, with a toffee accent, almost biscuity; strong expected and balanced bitterness, leading to a very good final, with harmony of piney resins and bold citrus fruit peel, like bitter oranges.
Despite having been shaken, and with all that yeast in suspension, it’s a relatively clean brew.
Fresh and dangerous.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an opaque vibrant orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, a big caramel malt backbone and some metallic notes. Flavour brings out resinous and citrus hops, with a huge caramel malt backbone. Too much malt for the style, but it's still decently drinkable.
