Pours an amber colour with golden highlights. A bunch of particles runs through it, so lightly hazed by this. Definitely the darker, grassier hops for nose found in West Coast. A mild base of caramel malts with grain notes and hints of nuts. Smooth silky mouthfeel with some building dryness in the finish. Quite an easy-drinking organic West Coast IPA.

Lightly hazed, golden-amber colour with a frothy cap that stays a while, and good soapy-foamy lacing is left. Darker, greenish, grassy hop nose as West Coast should have. Hints of spiciness helping the blend. Bitter mouthfeel with a decent dry finish. The taste is not as strong in the greener hops, but nicely balanced. Quite a nice West Coast IPA.

Pours a light hazy, light golden colour with a peach hue. The head is quite big, fluffy, thick soapy, white with good retention and some foamy patches of lacing. The taste is showing a light beer with the mineral feel and hints of honey for base. Some orange notes, but all very mild. The nose is a little stronger, but not saving this one. Nothing offensive, but a week Nano IPA.

A can you pop open and it gushes all over your desk... is not an instant of happiness. Hazy golden, bright-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, decent stay (just wish it was not mostly on my desk), leaving some nice foam lacing. Floral aromas with the green grassy hops that are strong, but gets a little more balanced with time. Hint of nuts. Oh boy! The taste is even more floral. Almost perfumy, with some fruitiness. Kind of reminds me of gummy bears. Quite a nice experiment on the original.

Pours a hazy golden colour with some particles floating around. The head is big, creamy, frothy, white with great retention and some thick foamy lacing. Mild citrus aromas of lemon zest and orange juices. Well hidden alcohol with a slight warming in the end, with decent dryness. Juicy flavours well-blended with the bitterness. Quite a soft, easy-drinking, mildly juicy Double IPA.

Light yellow colour with a small film that is slightly unfiltered. Foamy white head, average retention and a small collar. Orange juiciness in the nose with some decent hops blending the mild spicy grassiness. Gets hazier at next pour. As the aromas, some light spiciness from the hops. Citrus notes and juicy enough. Some good dryness in the finish. A pretty good orangy IPA.

Can that pours a dark copper brown colour with a big frothy warm-beige coloured head that lasts a while and leaves creamy-foamy lacing streaks. Roasted malt aromas with some sweetness of caramel, hints of coffee and grassy hops. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with some dryness in the finish. Flavours have the roasted malts with some apple notes, coffee, chocolate and the grassiness. Gets a little hazy at last pour. A decent brown ale with enough hoppiness to add a different touch.

Can: Poured a yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light citrusy hops with some jasmine notes is OK. Taste is a mix of dry citrusy hops notes with floral jasmine notes with a dry aftertaste. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Hops are not as dominant as I was expecting with jasmine notes being overly dominant.
