Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Murky yellow color, medium sized head, short retention. Expressive hops, very citrusy in the aroma, zesty in the final, with a lot of hop oils; lean and dry mouthfeel, the malts are almost wheaty, and it seems a bit yeasty and astringent in the final; strong bitterness.
Nice hops, but also rather dirty beer.

Murky blond color with generous head. Nice aroma of animal hops and strong spicy yeast. Soft mouthfeel, good body strength; it has a nice amount of juicy hops, but they are dominated by the yeast, spicy; the hops are also a bit dank and resiny.
Nice beer, too much going on here though, a bit of clash, and definitively too dirty, not just the look.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy gold-tinted yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank, with earth, pot-like hops, light tropical fruits, and a slight hoppy astringency. Flavour is very dank, with lots of pot-like, leafy hops dominating, followed by noticeable Belgian yeast presence that makes this a bit dirty. Just enough thin malt backbone to balance. Solid but not one of my favourite Machine IPAs.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of citrus and tropical fruity hoppiness, and a fair degree of dankness. Flavour follows more or less identically, with lots of tropical fruitiness from the hops, bitter citrus rinds and dry biscuity malt. Has a rather harsh astringency on the finish. Despite this, well-constructed and immensely flavourful for a pale. Really nice as always from Machine.

Draft - Belgian yeasts and citrus. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet and bitter citrus peel with a nice Belgian yeast note.

Getting less dank and more lemon peel. Almost more pleasure from the flavor than the aroma today.

Murky blond color, compact head. Wonderful fruity aroma, infinite tropical. Smooth, lean, delicate blond malts, the hops are very juicy, the bitterness is strong but well balanced, tingly resins in the finish. A bit dirty, yeasty.
Excellent modern Double IPA.

On tap at Callister, pours a very cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very dank as usual, with lots of dank piney hops dominating. Flavour is along the same lines, with extremely pungent hoppy dankness that ruins the palate. This one is a little harsher than Machine's other IPA offerings, but still very good.

Draft - Sweet mango and tropical fruit with some nice citrus. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Mango, tropical fruit and pithy sweet bitterness. Touch of dank as it warms a bit.

Draft - Nice juicy Mandarin. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Mandarin and some peel with a light clean finish. Depth in taste and body would have been nice, seems thin but extremely easy drinking because of it.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops, with a very creamy quality. Flavour is fairly dank, with lots of piney and citrus hops. Very creamy palate. A little yeasty, but acceptably so. Very good.
