650 ml bottle. Pours a dull copper with light head. Aromas of biscuity malts and odd fruit. Flavor of wet malts, and acidic bitter grapefruit. Homebrew.

Draft - Grapefruit, orange and nice citrus aromatics. McLean gold with a nice white head. Bitter grapefruit, peel and a sweet bitterness that might be cactus. Long sweet biscuit and bitter finish.

Foggy orange brown body with minimal head and not much character. Nice crisp grapefruit and sweet hops. Still no complexity but the high alcohol is well hidden so some points to that. But nonetheless not much great going on here.

Bottle at B’s, Langley
Cloudy golden color. Malt and glue aroma, some dankness. Syrupy, malty sweet, malt soup, strong bitterness, some hop resins, some orange peel. A bit stale even if it’s fresh.
Very randomly brewed, like a first time homebrew, it’s not very professional, it’s not a bad beer, but its quite bad among IIPAs. Very cloying, a bit boozy. I wouldn’t drink this again.

Bottle from BC Liquors
Amber color, clean, with large bubbles. The malt has a precise caramel character, that wouldn’t be a choice in modern times; moderate residual sweetness; it has a strong citrus fruit peel character (grapefruit, orange, cedar), but this contributes to a feeling of dish product. It worked well with my food.
Not a bad beer, but a bit weird. I’d like to see one version with paler malts and more citrusy hops.

On tap at Four Mile, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty mellow, with light grassiness and dry biscuity malt. Flavour brings out crisp grassy hops and a subdued biscuity malt backbone. Decently balanced, clean and thirst-quenching. Solid pilsner.

On tap at Four Mile, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, maybe a touch of roast and light hopping. Flavour is rather subdued for a black IPA, with toasted malt and a mild hop backing. Dry and balanced decently, but really tame and lacking oomph. Decent.

On tap at Four Mile, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out notes of diacetyl upfront, with not much else. Flavour is unfortunately also infected with mild diacetyl, along with biscuity malt and living British hopping. Gotta fix this problem. Not good as is.
