On tap at Callister. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee notes. Taste is the same with some fruity notes, but without hoppy bitterness. Some hoppy bitterness in aftertaste. Not a very Black IPA, but good.

On tap at Callister. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and citruses. Taste is same plus some strange resiny, moderate sweetness. Not bad.

On tap at Callister, pours a filthy dark brown with an amber tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, a little roast and piney hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with roasted malt, toasted caramel and piney dry hops. Odd stuff, but it works well. Not far off a black IPA, just less roasty and fruitier. Good.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of oranges and citrus rinds, tropical fruits, candied sugar and resinous hops. Flavour is very resinous and sweet, with tons of resinous hop oils dominating upfront, followed by sweet tropical fruits, oranges, candied sugar and caramel malt. Quite a sweet IIPA with considerable alcohol showing. A little messy and sweet, but very pleasant.

Cloudy, light, dull yellow. Very thin head. Soft body, low bitterness, light fruity hop character. The malts are husky, which I don’t like. It’s ok pale, if a bit poorly executed.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is indeed juicy as fuck, with tons of tropical fruity juiciness, citrus hops, and some pine. Flavour follows accordingly, with tons of dank, juicy and piney hops, immense tropical fruitiness (specifically mangoes, oranges, and papaya), and a sufficiently dry biscuity malt base. Very well-structured, with great depth. Excellent.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Murky blond color. The aroma is very expressive, lovely fruity hops with a musky touch. The relative dryness and a bit more carbonation than other Boombox increase the drinkability; the hops provide plenty of citrus peel essential oil, orange peel, grapefruit; but once more the flavor is quite floury and chalky, polluting the delicate qualities of the malt.
Very good, quite fresh feeling, but dirty.

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy to cloudy pale golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and some piney notes, very fruity. Taste is the same, very juicy. Body is quite light, but the beer is still amazing!

Fugly dull tan. Very tart, clean with a touch of brett, complex fruitiness. Looks like enema effluent but tastes pretty good.
