On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out plenty of piney hops, with a dry biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is similar, bringing out a nice piney hop character, with a touch of citrus and dry biscuity malt base. Very piney palate, with a bit of an alcoholic abrasiveness on the finish. Solid stuff.

Tasting at SF
Hazy golden color. Interesting aroma, herbal, deep cereal, husk. The mouthfeel is quite dry, too much focus on cereal and husks, and resiny woody hops.
Quite harsh, really unbalanced.

Hazy, bubbly head. The aroma has some stewed fruit notes, but also a bit piney. Moderate bitterness up front, and the hop character is a bit brighter.

Sort of a dull hazy, flat-looking beer. Misses the "looks like shit" mark of the style while actually looking even less attractive. No head. The aroma has some orange juice character to go alone with a touch of yeastiness. Bitter, grapefruit, not much malt character but decent body. Misses the mark for the style but it’s actually not bad because even though the malts don’t help anything they generally stay out of the way of the orangey bitter hops. There are a lot of ways this could be better, but transplant this hop character into a clean, all-pale malt ale and you’d have something.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy dark blond color with generous head. Light citrus peel and hop resin aroma. Delicate malt base, a bit crackery; the hopping is quite good, resiny and a bit zesty, with balanced bitterness, but nothing as fruity as a New England IPA.
Possibly off target, but it’s a good IPA.

Black color. Some aroma of glue. Very dry mouthfeel, roasted malt flavor, and unpleasant sourness; woody astringency in the final.
Very messy.

355ml can. Pours a hazy pale gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of grapefruit and pale malt. Sweet flavour of grapefruit rind, crackery malt and pine resin in a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A little one dimensional but still pretty good.
