Something about double IPAs that just seems to do well. I’ve rated a couple and they usually rate high. This one is not exception. Golden-clear pour with a decent white head. Nose is all perfume, flowers and resin hops with a sweeter underlying note. The taste is a decent mix of hops flavours with some of the aforementioned perfume and flowers making an appearance, some bittering hops with a mildly acerbic and chalkiness? to the finish that isn’t unpleasant. Overall a good brew. Also it’s nice to see Canadian micro-brews not from Ontario make it to shelves of those controlling d-bags at the LCBO.

Bottle from LCBO had at Ottawa. Clear golden amber pour. Aroma is mostly juicy hops over sweet bready malt. Taste is pretty big fruit then grassy hops, then a bit of that plasticky taste, and a malty finish. Not that big for a DIPA but not bad. A little too much resin/grass - not as polished.

22oz bottle pours a clear gold with some attractive, lacing white head. Nose is fairly approachable, big citrus, juicy grapefruit, tangerine, straw, soap, pine. Flavor follows right along, very piney and soapy, a little sappy, some grapefruit, meyer lemon, straw. Big, bitter finish. Solid.

From notes: Shared from a bottle it is a golden color with a slight head, The aroma is floral and the taste is bitter with a grapefruit flavor that lingers on the palate.

Third one from this brewery. Pours a clean amber colour with a creamy warm cap that has great retention and loads of lacing. Sweet fruity nose with grapefruit, mild grass and other citrus. Well blended fruits in the taste with nothing really standing out more than other. Not too crazy bitterness and dryness. Goes down quite well because of this, as alcohol is well-hidden and seems more like a stronger IPA (then average), than a full Imperial one.

650ml bottle from Steamworks Liquor Store, Vancouver, BC

Pours clear golden orange with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, caramely malts, syrup, sweet ripe fruits and juicy notes. Taste is smooth, juicy hoppy and sweetish malty with loads of citrus, pine and resin. Finish is zesty, juicy hoppy and caramely malty with some citrus and pine. Quite tasty DIPA.
