On tap at GCBF 2016, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out faded floral hops, some earthy notes and biscuity malt - smells anything but west coast style. Flavour is more like a British IPA, with floral hops, biscuity malt and light pine. Clean and drinkable, but pretty boring for the style.

Purchased at the Garrison brewery on my trip to Nova Scotia, late 2015. Pours a clear light-amber colour with a frothy warm cap, good stay and loads of foamy-dirty lacing. Aromas of citrus and caramel like most IPAs, but a wet socks smell comes out in there, from the grain used here. The taste does not have this. Grapefruit notes, a little oranges, grassy hops and light grain. Becomes a little hazy in the end. The wet socks do go away, and some hints of berries-oranges replace this, saving this one as a decent stronger IPA.
