355mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Pine, tropical fruits, and sweet malts on the nose. Flavour has bitter pine, bright tropical fruits, citrus peels. Decent WC IPA.

On tap at Devil's Elbow. Pours clear gold with a white head. Lots of coffee on the nose with some dry grass and biscuit malts. Flavour is a bit less impressive with the coffee coming across very earthy, like grounds at the bottom of the cup. Not bad.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear gold with small white head. Mild tropical citrus hops with soft resin over a lightly white bread sort of base. A touch muted, average.

Poured from 473mL can in a Bella Coola hotel room. Chill hazed pinkish orange with small white head. Raspberry upfront with a slightly doughy pils malt base and the feintest, almost undetectable hint of lime. Okay.

Poured from 473mL can in a Bella Coola hotel room. Lightly hazed yellow with small white head. No date stamp, but wouldn't be surprised if this is a bit old. Subdued pineapple character, a bit muddled and lacking hop expression, bland biscuit malt backing. Average.

Poured from 473mL can in a Bella Coola hotel room. Clear pale blonde with small white head. Very, very feint lime (a wedge of lime on the side of the glass would provide more flavour) and salt over a bland pale lager. Completely underwhelming. What's the point?

Poured from 473mL can in a Bella Coola hotel room. Clear gold with very quickly dissipating white head. A weakly flavoured kettle sour with a melange of unidentifiable ripe tropical fruits and a bit of green grape character. Average, but inoffensive.

473mL can, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Nose has some dulled piney hops, bready malt, and a touch of resins. Flavour is much the same, with plenty of piney hops, dull earthy hops, and bready malt. Reasonable structure but dulled hops despite how fresh this apparently is. Okay.

Darkish amber, kinda murky-looking, as these always are. Medium head. Old school chewy aroma, same palate. Crystal malt bomb in effect. Lots of alcohol. That early 00s IIPA base isn’t a great showcase for a hop like 586, and there’s limited unique hop expression here. It all just devolves into chewiness.
