Tan colour with a touch of haze. Thin head. Definitely chewy and then there’s a big whack of dank that comes in over top. It’s aggressively hopped, almost to the point of grassiness.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma is certainly West Coast, with lots of piney hops and a delicate malt backing. Flavour is quite fruity, with piney hops, a pronounced fruitiness, and just enough dry biscuity malt backing. Now this is a very good local IPA. Well-balanced, hoppy and dry - making it highly drinkable. Very good stuff.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
The amber color is almost clear, it’s bright, and it has a creamy head. the aroma is very hoppy, fruity, fresh; peach and a dash of tropical fruits. Lean body; yet the malt and caramel flavor is slightly too pronounced, sweet and chewy compared to a world class IPA; the good malt flavor is followed by a strange ashy feeling; strong bitterness level, with plenty of soft hop resins and enough hop fruitiness; a bit dusty in the final.
A solid IPA, but somehow heavy.

Dark brown. The aroma is very sweet, sugary, like a b-grade foreign stout. Very sweet, with obvious flavouring... Irish Cream flavouring. Wished I’d seen that or I wouldn’t have ordered this. Gimmick beer, ws;sp. Yeah...the words "Irish" and "cream" are both normal in the stout context...I never thought anyone would put them together to mean they dumped Irish cream into a stout. Awful, awful idea.

650 ml bottle. Pours black with a medium brown head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of milk chocolate, dried coffee, and heavily roasted malts. Creamy flavors of a strong latte with dark chocolate, chicory, and dusty roasted malts. Very nice though a little thin with a plastic finish.

Bottle - Wheat and mango pulp. Hazy yellow orange with a thin white head. Citrus, wheat, black pepper and some mild mango flavors. Highly carbonated, but appropriate for this drink. Interesting and not particularly sweet as I would have guessed. Although not bad, not my kind of beer.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with medium-full head. Aromas of black pepper, wheat, and bandaids. Creamy nothingness flavor - maybe light mango and again some cracked pepper in the back of the mouth. Weird, but I can’t help take another sip.
