This one pours kind of a dull gold, though, and without much head. Medium everything. On the nose, not nearly that much. On the palate, some sweetness, but the bitterness is somewhat modest for a C-hop focused beer. The aromatic hops are subdued. This lacks bite. Unfortunately, branding this as old school IPA is like branding 70s Priest as old school death metal.

473mL can, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of pine and resinous hops, some orange rinds, and just enough caramel malt. Flavour is bitter, with lots of orange rinds, citrus peel, big piney hops, resinous hops, and big caramel malt to back. Great balance between hops and malt, with quite a potent resinous bitterness on the finish. Excellent.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Brassy gold pour is topped by a rocky beige head. Bready malt aroma is balance by spicy, herbal hops. Flavor is sharp and distinctive. Big spicy hops are the rule here. The hop bill brings notes of grapefruit, pine, dank citrus and black pepper. As promised, an old school/ West coast pedigree brings you back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when massively hopped IPAs were making their mark on the craft beer scene. This is certainly a sip down memory lane.
