Blond and clean, small head. Piney aroma, no old school malt nonsense here. Dry, crisp, with toasted bread base, but overwhelmed by piney, resinous hopping, and massive bitterness; almost minty. I've had brighter west coast IPAs, this is not one, but it's modern and very solid.

The aroma is more resiny than fruity. The mouthfeel is rather dry but not weak, and the hops have also an animal character. It starts becoming a bit hard/harsh.
Less impressed than I was some time ago, but still very good, and better than a glass from tap I had last week.

Amber color, hazy, small head; served too cold. The aroma seems mild compared to the usual; some nice hops, a bit fruity. Good caramel flavor, but it's a bit too strong and covers partially the hopping; the bitterness is strong, with some pleasant resins but almost no fruitiness from the hops; the final is very strong and obviously long.
Good, but without the fresh qualities that made it famous.

Hazy light amber color. Nice aroma, the hops provide a citrusy character. Good dry toffee flavor, with fresh hopping, a lot of dry resins, piney character, followed by some hop fruitiness.
Very good for the summer.

Hazy amber color, with creamy head. Nice aroma, hoppy, fruity, sweaty. Good toffee flavor, with very strong bitterness; the aromatic hop gives resiny and fruity character, although sometimes on the bottle it seems fresher. Too bitter in the end.

Beautiful golden color, with medium head. Powerful hops, playing with grass, hay and resins; caramelly and toffeish flavor, providing a steady but clean backbone; a hint of fruits. Very solid; this beer confirms itself.

2011-03-02, bottle from Liberty Wine, Robson St., Vancouver, 8-5-8-5-16=42
Beautiful orange-golden color; generous compact head. Powerful hoppy aroma: fruity, citrusy, piney, resiny. Smooth and sweetish toffee flavor, strong, with a good share of fresh piney hops. Strong and long final. Very good, balanced, although a bit heavy, with a pleasant degree of freshness.
