2017-09-17, can from The Gull, North Vancouver, packaged 11/09/2017, 8-4-8-5-16=41
Hazy to cloudy dark yellow. Very nice fruit notes in the aroma, orange, mandarin, but also a bit green. It seems a bit drier and more bitter than the Pretty Much Yeah tasted side to side, with loads of citrus peel, on a crisp malt base. Excellent. Possibly still too young.
2017-07-23, can, 3 months old, 8-4-7-4-15=38
It seems to have more citrusy and piney character, moderate dank, mild fruity; less fruity than when fresher, and with light vegetable notes in the final.
Although fresher is better, it's still an excellent beer.
2017-05-01, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 7-4-8-5-16=40
Side to side with Happyness. Very murky. Mild fruity aroma, zesty. The mouthfeel is incredibly creamy and smooth for this beer, but it also has more body than the Happyness; much stronger hop character, quite dank, and zesty.
Better than the Happyness tonight, but not as good as the can.
2017-04-22, can from Strathcona Brewery, 8-4-8-4-17=41
Blonde color with orange hue, cloudy but not filthy, large bubbles, and short head retention.
Juicy aroma, orange, pineapple, mango, a touch of lychee, and a hint of piney hops. The mouthfeel is dry and lean, crackery malt base, perfectly coordinated with the hops, that are more resiny and piney than fruity (orange peel, bergamot); there seem to be a strong yeast character too, mostly in the final, which is just slightly harsh.
Excellent IPA, I may like it more in a week or so.

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.

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.
