Draft pour at Red Truck. Pours a dark, ruby, cranberry juice color. No head. Very modest aroma. Slight fruit if you try, but otherwise, it much to comment on. Flavor is a candy blackberry. Sweet. Almost sugary. Like a snowcone syrupy like sweetness. Flavor sticks around forever too. So much berry fruit. Not really getting any bourbon at all. .maybe it's just overpowered. Juicy constant. Malty underneath. Interesting beer for sure.

Draft pour at Red Truck. A darker copper golden pour. Some metallic, bold malt on the aroma. Flavor is also leaning in the metallic side. Rich and bold malts, and a lingering gritty grain. Pretty standard Amber, nothing overwhelming about this. Decent beer as an Overall

33cl bottle at Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, Canada. Pours crisp amber with limited white foam. Aroma is malty, some cherries. Body is kind of light, with good carbonation. Taste is moderately bitter, with some final sweetness. Finish is average.

Taster at Darby's Gastown with Sonnet (Core2 pass celebration). Pours a hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma is quite pleasant with tropical fruits notes. Taste is very fruity just with a slight bitterness aftertaste. Quite pleasant.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter piney hops, some earth and biscuity malt - doesn't smell all that NE-like. Flavour is closer to the advertised style, I guess, with dry piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Seems much clearer than a typical NE IPA, which isn't necessarily bad. Pleasant enough.

@ St Augs. Slightly hazy, dull gold. Medium head. Has that soupy overripe fruit note I dislike in the less salubrious examples of the style. Moderate bitterness. Limited malt structure is a bit flabby.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Blond color. The arom ais a bit dank and fruity. The mouthfeel is very dry, at least for the style, it has a mild crisp malt base, definitively much cleaner than a NE IPA, the hop is a bit resiny and very lightly dank; it doesn't feel like 6.7% ABV.
Nice dry session IPA, missing the target though.
