Hazy tan. Thin head. Earthy hops with some sweet chewy malt. The aroma comes off very appetizing, with English influences. Hits the palate earthy then gets maltier, but only briefly before becoming watery. The finish is actually bit acidic. Started off nice, then lost focus.

650 ml bomber bottle purchased at "The Strath" Ale, Wine and Spirit Merchants at the Strathcona Hotel in Victoria, BC. Pour is mostly clear, orange golden with a one inch white head. Aroma of muted resin, pine and fresh hoppiness. Taste is the pine and citrus, the malt is present, though also muted. Near the finish, a mineral flintiness appeared. This reminded me more of an English style IPA. Palate was a bit on the thin side. Overall, not a bad IPA, just a bit boring.
