175mL pour at Slow Hand. Pours murky yellow with white head. Aroma has pine and citrus. Flavour has really nice crisp pine up front, followed by citrus juice and rind, crisp malts. Finish is moderately bitter, spicy, and a bit woody. Very nice, I hope they do more West Coast beers.

175mL pour at Slow Hand. Pours opaque yellow, like orange juice. Aroma has light tropical fruit. Flavour is super juicy, lots of stone fruit, a bit of hop burn on the finish. Mouthfeel is quite thick, almost gritty. Nice, juicy IPA.

Re-rate because some asshole hit my car after I picked up stuff to trade and now I’m waiting for a tow truck. Poured from the tap. Hazy blonde with small white head. Grapefruit and onion. Still not a big fan of this one. Oct 14, 2024 (6/4/6/3/11=3.0): Poured from 473mL can (Slow Hand was closed on Monday, unfortunately so couldn't try it on tap). Clear-ish yellow gold with white head. Overpoweringly oniony with feint pine backing. Unbalanced. Not a fan.

Slight haze, thin head. Pale. Spicy hop, medium pale malt, this has a slight onion note, mild cannabis, still not bad. Would prefer more malt complexity to play off the hops...some biscuity notes would light this up.

On tap at Slow Hand, pours a mostly clear bright blonde with a small white head. Aroma has moderate dankness, lots of oils, some sweatiness, and a touch of pine needles. Flavour is more vibrant, with lots of citrus hops, grapefruit rind, some pine needles that gives a bit of spiciness, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Piney, spicy, bitter finish in good balance. Very nicely done — do more of these and fewer (or none) of the hazies please!

Opaque and pale. Medium head. The aroma is big, vinous, lots of nelson. Moderate bitterness, malts are thin but enough, because there’s a lot of juicy nelson here…getting pear, peach, white wine. Solid.

Cloudy blond colour with large head. Nice hop aroma, with a touch of dank hops. Good malty base, soft and juicy, moderately sweet, with minimal starch; excellent hopping, with tropical and dank accents. Very good.

Pale blond colour, hazy, with compact head. Dry, lean, soft mouthfeel; not crispy, not really bitter. Mild beer; I guess this is what North Americans think a lager should be; well, no flaws, it's better than mass produced North American lager, but that's not enough to be great.

Cloudy blond colour. Fruity aroma, tropical. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is off-dry, wheath-y base, very little starch, anonymous malt base, followed by plenty of tropical hops; respectable bitterness too, slight hopburn. Good, but it doesn't really come together how I hoped.
