2017-01-05. Small can from Denman (thx, Farees!). Batch #1, canned 2016-12-12. Aroma is tropical and stone fruits, slightly earthy and flowery. Same taste. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Good, but I liked Colour & Shape more. Looking forward to the next Superflux beer.

Draught @ Darby’s Gastown. Hazy, light tan. Thin head. Big juicy hop nose. Fresh orange juice hops, nice clean malts...very nice IPA. And I upgraded the rating because honestly, the more I drink the more I want to drink. It is probably the class of IPAs in BC right now.

Small can from Denman (thx, Farees!). Pours a dirty cloudy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is huge tropical fruits, mango, stone fruits - wow! Taste is same, very fruity with low to moderate sweetness and relatively low bitterness. Perfect!

Can. Muddy dull tan. Medium head. Bright nose, full of papaya, bitter orange, lychee, grapefruit...nice. Bitter, just a touch yeasty, pithy grapefruit rind. I would say not quite as bright on the palate as the nose. There isn’t really that killer malt character to build on. Good muddy IPA.

355mL can, pours an opaque filthy murky orange with a small white head. Aroma is very dank and fruity, with lots of dank piney hops and heaps of tropical fruits. Flavour follows accordingly, with truckloads of tropical fruits, dank piney hops, and just enough malt to back. Almost no hoppy astringency, but tons of dank piney flavour. Tropical fruity finish. This continues the awesome legacy of Machine Ales. Excellent.

2017-07-02, draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver, 420ml, 8-3-8-5-17=41
Murky blond color. Wonderful fruity aroma, lean body, smooth, sweet orange, mango, other tropical fruits.
2017-04-22, can, tag 30/1/2017, 3 months old, 8-2-9-5-18=42
Filthy yellow color. Crisp malt base, the mouthfeel is not too dirty, and the hops are resiny and citrusy as they were months ago. Delicious.
2016-12-22, can from Denman Wine and Liquor, Vancouver, 8-2-9-5-18=42
One of the most ugly cans around; also, we know about Superflux, but the can doesn’t give any info about country, client brewery or websites. The bottom of the can says "28-11-2016 RIP MACHINE"
But as I almost shotgun the can, I just wish I had more of this heavenly juicy and pungent hop soup.
2016-12-01, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 8-2-8-5-17=40
Murky blond color. The aroma is fruity and explosive, tropical fruits, a touch of zesty citrus, and a hint of earthy/musky hops. Nice crackery malts, very delicate, the mild residual sweetness is perfect, everything plays positively for the hop explosion, which is very juicy, loaded with citrusy and piney resins, not even too bitter. It may be my impression but is sense some of those oats in the final, hence lightly dirty.
Ugly but tasty; wonderful.

Growler - Big and rich pulpy orange notes with some peach. Turbid yellow orange with decent white head. Nice bitter orange and peach notes with a nice bitter finish. Very nice.

Densely sedimented with a thick, bubbly head. Expressive hop aroma, mostly orange and grapefruit. On the palate, a mix of yeastiness and bitterness, creamy body and grapefruity hop. Soft finish. The yeast gets in the way of the hops a bit, but the mouthfeel is pretty cool.
