Grapefruit and tangerine. Pleasant hops aroma here. Pours clear golden with good head and lacing. Some lemon on the finish, a little straw. Body is light for a West Coast IPA, but overall feel is pleasant. Can.

473ml can. Pours a clear blonde with a medium, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Faint aroma of grainy pale malt and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, orange and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable, but too timid for my liking.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy copper amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel, red apple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of crackery caramel malt, red apple, a hint of black pepper and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a watery to oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced and enjoyable.

473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces nicely. Semi-sweet aroma of roasted malt, brown sugar, coffee, dark chocolate, earth and light vanilla. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, lactose, caramel and vanilla in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Pretty solid.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a large, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Mild aroma of caramel malt, pineapple, orange and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, pineapple, orange peel, grapefruit and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad but seems more of a gateway IPA.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick, soapy lacing. Sweet aroma of bready pale malt, caramel, vanilla and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuit malt, vanilla and caramel in a dry, mild bitter, grassy hop finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Gimmicky, but it does remind me of vanilla cake. Not sure I want my beer to taste like that though.

Pale gold, thin head, bright. Med bitterness, lots of alcohol. Mellow bready malt. Berryish fruity hop notes…so a safe std IPA.

Pale gold and bright. Light fruitiness, bit alcoholic, sort of a flabby pale malt, moderate bitterness. Okay if I’m in a good mood.

Oh my, sweet tea neipa? Tart. But I get the sweet tea character in the big tannins. Light ipa in there. Like a base beer, in a clusterfuck of a concept. Execution isn’t even that bad…it’s just a zoo of an idea.

Pale gold, bright, medium head. Messy clunky base, light sour but more malt and way more alcohol taste than I would have expected. The plum is subtle…i would say Bad Tattoo’s plum sour is quite a bit more accomplished and I seldom say that about one of their beers.
