On tap at Yaletown, pours a clear copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals piney hops and biscuity malt in good balance. Flavour is crisp, with a nice dry piney hop character and a crisp crackery malt backbone. Dry and robust, with just enough hop oils on the palate. Excellent.

Hazy golden color. The aroma is delicate, flowery hops; the flavor is more expressive, with a crisp and dry mouthfeel, biscuity malts, then resiny hops, some bitter orange peel, also a bit of pithy chicory bitterness in the final. It could be more expressive and fruity, but at least it's a modern IPA.
Nice.

Hazy dark blond color. Resiny hop aroma, and biscuity malts. Crisp malt base, lightly biscuity, with robust hopping, strong hop resins, mild piney character, citrus zest, but also some pithy bitterness in the final.
Good, modern, although the biscuity character is not too exciting.

Hazy light amber with a thick head. Has a nice spicy berry hop aroma with just a little bit of biscuity malt. The hops are really nice on this one. Fruity and bright. The malts have a biscuity note but also seem a bit flabby...not bad just not ideal.
