Description
This team of owner-operators was formed shortly after the group realized they all were after the same thing, just in different parts of the province. Brewer John Folinsbee was planning a brewery in Squamish, industry veteran Marc Roberts had his sights on Vancouver while entrepreneur Ben Reeder and builder Adam Steinberg were looking at brewing in the Cowichan Valley on Reeder’s hop farm. After tasting John’s recipes they decided to go all in and combine forces to build the 6000 square foot brewery, tasting room and kitchen in Squamish.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours an opaque bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of citrus skins, dank piney hops, some pot and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with huge piney hops, moderate dankness, citrus skin, and a dry biscuity malt. Pretty incredible depth to this. Wonderful intensity of piney hops, leaving very little bitterness. One of the best local IPAs I've had in a long while.

On tap at Darby's. Pours an almst black with a tan head. Aroma is lots of coffee with some roasted malt and maybe some slight vanilla notes on the back. Similar taste. Did not find pecans. Pretty good and easy drinkable stuff, though.

On tap at Alibi Room with Ash. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is a bit grassy and dusty with pineapple notes. Taste is similar, quite juicy. It is a bit harsh, dirty and grassy than I prefer. Still a good beer, though.

Update - Griwler - Looks like some time did it well, mellowing the green notes. Draft - Mango and citrus. Murky yellow with a small white head. Green leafy notes, touch of creamy sweetness and a bit astringent bitterness.

Dark brown, big chocolate aroma, lots of fudgey notes on the palate. Good richness. Might get a bit of coconut but don't get the waffles. Tasty.
