Draft pour pint at Special Brews. Pours a clear golden color with a ton of foam head and lace. Tropical fruit forward aroma and flavor. Grapefruit heavy. Most flavorful, hoppy, fruit forward lager I’ve ever had. Interesting. Good stuff here.

22 oz bottle poured. Bottled on 10/13/2015. Thanks Kris for the bottle. Pours a clear golden copper with a lasting foam head. Huge earthy hop heavy aroma. Flavor is a ton of tropical fruit, and a heavy hop bitter. Sweet mango like fruit finish. Tastes so strong. Comes of as too heavy for my usual liking. The late palate is nice and refreshing fruit. Big league IPA here for sure.

Draught at Walrus and Carpenter, 11/7/15.
Pale white golden beer has a gentle chill haze with a dense, white head atop that is small but well-retained.
Floral aromatics combine with light bread dough, white pepper notes and delicate blossom honey-like notes to provide a very elegant, light, airy nose. Moderately fruity, with soft graininess on the finish and light meyer lemon suggestions. No flaw or alcohol.
Medium-bodied with a dextrinous, chewy-like texture yielding white bread dough, peppery hops and a blend of honey and citrus on the end. Mild bitterness with light, but tight carbonation and no flaw or alcohol. One of the few beers I saw from Vancouver on my trip. Guess the import taxes create a barrier, or is it just a lot of bureaucracy? Not sure.

Bottle - Lots of nice dark roasty notes, oatmeal and chocolate. Deep jet brown with a very rich brown head. Nice oatmeal texture, silky with chocolate and a touch of bitterness. Long roasty finish. Very solid.

Draft pour pint at The Collective. Pours a clear golden color with almost no head. Near absent aroma. Flavor is a sweet floral grain, with a noticeable honey touch. Decent try dribkable, and refreahing, but suprisingly sweet. Less my type of floral notes. Hints of apple in the finish. Not bad.

Bomber. Pours a dark copper color, very clear, a medium white head. A big yeasty toffee nose. The flavor is very sweet, toffee, caramel, berries. Sugary sweet. More of a sweet ASA or BW, but very nice. Light citrus, some bitterness, but more big sweet malty crystal base. Solid.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy red-amber color with small head. The aroma is sweaty, armpit. Moderately sweet, strong caramel character, strong bitterness; the hops are dusty, resiny but really not shining.
Not a bad beer; as an IIPA is deceiving though, in 2015.
