650mL bottle, pours clear copper with a tiny white head. Aroma of strong piney hops and some malt backing evident. Flavour is a surprisingly potent piney hop punch, with a soapy finish. Exceeded the expectations - very enjoyable.

Pale blond color. It’s a light beer, with mild citrusy notes and a mild crispy malt flavor; low bitterness. Pleasant.

Hazy blond color. Light and delicate, with some fruity aroma (peach), dry mouthfeel, light malt flavor, and a light citrusy touch. Correct bitterness. Simple but refreshing.

Dark amber color, clean, with creamy head. Timid aroma of caramel and hop with a light fruity touch. Lean moutfeel, off-dry; the malt flavor is quite caramelly, correct bitterness, light fruity hops. The final is a bit dry and weak, and astringent.
Decent.

Red amber color, clean; small head. Mild aroma, but very pleasant: creamy toffee and resiny hop, biscuity, nutty. Unfortunately the rest is not up to the promise; just a very common caramel flavor, with a dryish mouthfeel, correct bitterness, but without hop qualities.

Fairly citrusy, fruity and decent caramel backbone. A bit of candy apples in the mix. Not overly balanced, but a decent try and the style and I could see it having wide appeal with non-IPA drinkers, but that is not to say it is a bad beer. Very approachable and the best from the brewery.

Bottled, from Kimberley, BC. Clear amber, brief head. Caramelly nose with slight notes of grapefruit. Mid sweet with shallow malt. Most flavour is caramel, hops remains very subtle. Butter finish with slight saltness. More confusing than enjoyable.
