On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity, with loads of oranges upfront, followed by resinous hops and some pine. Flavour follows suit, with loads of resinous hops, some piney hops and oranges, maybe some tropical fruits as well (mango, pineapple). Light residual sweetness. Less like Machine's usual IPAs in that there is no dankness and more sweetness. Very good.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is quite dank as most Machine IPAs are, with lots of citra dry hopping, some tropical fruitiness and light biscuity notes. Flavour is dank and juicy, with lots of tropical fruitiness, and dank as hell hops. Very juicy and extremely fresh tasting. Another excellent Machine IPA.

2016-06-14, draught at Callister, 12 oz, 8-3-7-4-16=38
Murky blond color, poured with almost no head. The aroma is more fruity than a few days ago, tropical, citrusy, fresh, and not resiny. The body seems weaker, but very juicy, tickly hop resins, very moderate sweetness, a backdrop of crispy malts, and something less clean.
Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver; 10oz, 8-3-7-4-16=38
Cloudy, if not murky, blond color. It has both the piney and the citrusy character from the hops, a delicate malt backdrop, light residual sweetness, and a pleasant touch of peach.
Said so, 1 it tastes like every other Machine IPA, 2 the cloudiness translates to the palate as well, hence a bit dirty.
Very good beer anyway.

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.
