Very cloudy. Thin head. Big orangey hop nose. Very bitter, grapefruit, but also some papaya and grapey notes. A bit yeasty and stewed fruit in the finish, though, detracting just slightly from an overall excellent beer.

On tap at Callister. Pours an opaque clody golden with a white head. Aroma is very juicy with loads of piney hops, slightly dirty. Taste is pretty the same with piney and some fruity bitterness. Slight floral and piney bitterness aftertaste. Very good.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank in the hop department, with lots of dank citrus and piney hops. Flavour is dank and juicy, with lots of juicy citrusy hops, some slight tropical fruitiness and a dry maltiness. No bitterness on the finish, just lovely dankness. Excellent.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Murky light amber color, dull, with barely any head. Nice aroma of hop cones, hop resins. The malt flavor is anonymous, the hop soup provides harsh resins, hop oils, and too strong vegetable (chicory, cabbage) component, for a harsh and unpleasant final (I wish I could give 0).
Selling this is really amateurish, I wish they had the guts to accept that the beer is not good and pull it out.

Draft - Sweet caramel and a bit of higher booze. Cloudy gold with no head. Woody and a bit herbal with a nice bitterness. Not bad, but the fresh hop doesn’t really pop.

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy straw golden with a white head. Aroma is slightly sweet with tropical fruits a piney hops. Taste is pretty the same with quite aggresive piney bitterness. A little bit harsh, but still good though.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity and perfumey, with lots of phenols. Flavour is harsh, with lots of phenols, perfumey hops and fruity hop resins. Too harsh with the alcohol. Needs work.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Cloudy yellow color, small compact head . The aroma delivers plenty of fruity hops quality, including citrus peel, and some manure. The malt is moderately crispy, the mouthfeel is lean (maybe too weak) and very dry; the hops add a nice zesty, citrusy, resiny, piney character, but the lack of body and sugars is not in favour of the balance, and the final also, although bitter, is too weak, no follow-through.
Overall, it’s a very good and enjoyable Pale Ale (what somebody could call a Session IPA also).

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy gilden with awhite head. Aroma is tropical fruits and piney hops. Same taste with piney bitterness and some dirty notes. Quite low palate, though. Good one.
