Good foam on golden body, sweet hops on the nose with vague vegetable hints. Flavour is chewy hops with sweet malt notes, biscuit, plenty of sugar. Medium on the mouth but kind of cloying as it's unbalanced. Simply okay, not too exciting and very sugary.

Cloudy blond colour. Quite dry but the body is not weak. It's moderately juicy, lightly citrusy, so the hops are more than decent; the bitterness is quite low; it's a bit yeasty too, and while this qualifies as dirty blonde, at the same time it adds a dimension.
Not really West Coast as advertised, I would even say more East than West, but pleasant anyway.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Golden to light amber colour, hazy, with large head, nice persistence and lace. It has a juicy malt base, delicate caramel, not a modern blond IPA, but nevertheless a very well made modern-ish one; the malt is followed by some mild candied orange, orange blossom, pine resins.
Very good.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto, with a touch of citrus hops - smells like a total yogurt bomb. Flavour is very yogurty upfront, eventually transitioning to citrus hops and lots of lime juice. It's pleasant enough, but it's not exactly an intriguing combination of flavours.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, biscuity malt, and some floral notes. Flavour is clean, with gentle piney hops, floral notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and dry. Solidly made.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6
On tap at 12 Kings, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with lacto upfront, followed by some doughy and mineraly notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with yogurty lacto upfront, followed by ascorbic lemon character, and some doughy notes. Simple and lemony, with little depth. Not too inspiring.

Lemon and grassy notes. Pale cloudy gold with a small white head. Lemon and light light hard candy.

Foggy yellow body and a bit of foam, soft sweet lemon on the nose. Flavour is sour lemon with floor cleaner hints. Medium on the mouth. This isn't a standout in any direction.

Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver
Cloudy blond colour. Light lemon aroma. Slight tartness, mild lemon, light sweetness, at least can't be called dry; and why is this an IPA?
Drinkable timid ale.

Hazy blond colour. Light citrus aroma. Lean mouthfeel, mild acidity, some doughy yeast, light citrus.
Nothing impressive, and with some flaw.
