Deep golden colour with a bunch of flakes floating around, looking like a glass snow globe. The head is light beige, frothy, becoming creamy with good retention and leaving creamy-foam lacing. Big West Coast style IPA nose with grassiness, caramel malt base, decent cereal grains and a touch of honey. Flavours of pine, grassy hops and mild caramel. The mouthfeel is slick, a little oily and some decent building dryness mildly shows up. Hints of citrus do show up with a tad cane sugar. A nicely drinkable Double IPA that has a little more West Coast style, and not overly dry.

Tasting at Ryan's, can
Hazy blond colour. Very nice aroma, there are piney hops and citrus zest. Dry mouthfeel, crisp, orange peel from the hop, maybe some pine; I like the concept, modern West Coast IPA, but I'd prefer a better hop flavour.

Agrumes aux accents de pamplemousse, alcool et houblons résineux soutiennent un olfactif en manque de tonus et de puissance. Petite mousse bien crémeuse sur liquide doré et partiellement voilé. Caractère malté rehaussé et chaleur d’alcool réconfortante en entrée de bouche. Sensation tropicale en arrière-plan avec agrumes à l’appui. Amertume résineuse d’intensité moyenne. Finale longue et persistante à l’accent de conifères. Une bonne double IPA sans plus, mais on est loin de la complexité de la Yakima régulière. O:5.4 V:4.05 G:8.075 C:4.4 G:15.888 T:37.813

16oz @ Ryan's. Appearance: hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: citruses, some weird caramel-candy and piney notes. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: kinda a weird one, caramel and pine don't really work together creating something abrasive and harsh.

Hazy and pale amber. Just a thin head. Lemony hops and a little bit of pedio. On the palate, a touch of pedio, some light acidity. More of that lemony character and some oniony stuff.
