473mL can, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, plenty of pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is piney and dank, with some pot-like hops, some pine, and biscuity malt. Very pot-like, piney finish. Very good, but a tad less impressive than some of their other IPAs.

Amber, with a chill haze, and a medium head. Pear, lychee, grapefruit and a bit of allium on the nose. On the palate, big pale malt base, and a lot of alcohol taste. The hops still have a bit of grapefruit, maybe pear, but they are not nearly as prominent in the face of the massive malt onslaught. So there are some good elements, but the balance isn't 100% for me.

16 oz can picked up at Tapped. I believe only the second brewery I've ever had a frozen fresh hop brew from, and this one works just as great as the other. Really nice balanced flavor with biscuit grains, and a cool piney hop character. Starts off very clean, and had me surprised this was borderline imperial. Somewhat aggressive pine note shows a little strength late with some melon. Exceptional IPA overall, and have learned to not expect anything less from these guys.

On tap at Chuck's Hop Shop - Seward Park, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out gentle vanilla, a touch of toasted malt, and gentle dark sugars. Flavour is malty, with dry, toasted, bready malt, and a hint of vanilla. Toasty bready finish. Not exactly authentic but it's a clean, nicely made, strong-ish porter.

16 oz can, picked up at Josh's Taps. Delicious unfiltered west coast IPA that has lots of juicy, citrus, fruity character. Aroma is full of citrus and pitted orange fruit. Cream linger, flavorful hop profile. This is so tasty and easy drinking. Zero surprise this one made the cut for annual release. No brainer 4 pack pickup here.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Nose brings out bright piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and a hint of citrus -- I would never guess there are revived fresh hops. Flavour is wonderfully vibrant, with potent piney hops, some dankness, light citrusy, and crisp biscuity malt. Again, wouldn't have guessed these were revived fresh hops. Assertively hopped, piney, crisp, moderately bitter finish. Really great blonde WCIPA.

Dark brown, sticky, nice dark sugar character, light coffee, nuttiness, the whisky is pretty assertive and it finishes boozy. But the chocolate accent isn'�t bad.

16 oz. can, pours a mostly clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out big piney hops, some chewy resins, and gentle stone fruit. Flavour is bright, with a nice piney and citrusy hop kick, with a lightly sweet biscuity malt base. Piney, citrusy finish with good balance. Excellent as usual from Old Schoolhouse.
