16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice combination of WC and NZ hops, with plenty of piney hops, oily resins, a nice citric hop tang, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and vibrant, with lots of citrusy hops, bitter pine, a bright hop tang, some resins, and just enough biscuity malt. This is a beautiful hop expression – tangy and piney finish with ample bitterness and endless drinkability.

16 oz can from the brewery. Pours a very cloudy unfiltered golden orange. Not hazy! Tons of loose foam head. Incredible aroma of layered hops jump out of this glass with pine and juicy ripe tropical fruit. Expected this to be leaning towards hops as far as balance goes, but this is a nice, even tip between a straw and biscuit grain, and a low bitter, low aggressive hop. Has the make up of a classic, well done IPA from a local favorite, but the New Zealand hop additions seem to make this a one of a kind brew. Unique on the late palate. Limited edition IPA, but I'd happily keep this one in my regular stock rotation in the fridge at home. Delicious.
