This stuff has really big white foam on top, hugely solid, and an orange body. There's a perfumy aura of hops on the nose along with perhaps some poppy seed if you're looking for it. The flavour is caramel and sweet hops, though not too sweet. Dry finish, semi-bitter. This is quite a nice IPA, rather simple but highly drinkable.

Good beige foam and mostly clear heavily carbonated brown body. The tin from the can is coming through, with vague malt, wonder if there was a packaging problem. Flavour is muddy malt with a hint of dark biscuit. Full enough on the mouth, kind of bready. Listed at 4.5% and pretty filling for that and a little cut above the local fare for this style but still nowhere near the good stuff on the other side of the pond.

Nice floral hops on the nose, has good white foam on a clear gold body. Flavour is okay hops with some sweetness. Mouthfeel is full and also refreshing. This is decent, serviceable. On tap at the Fort Langley Beer & Food fest.

650mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle floral hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp biscuity malt and floral hops. Crisp and lightly tart on the citrus. Meh.

Tasting at Erik's
Clean golden colour. The arom ais mild, light bready malts, light citrusy hops. Fairly dry, with mild bready malts flavour, some hop resins, but also some vegetable bitterness.
The malt base is decent, the chicory in the final is unpleasant.

Bottle from Legacy. Amber, thin head. On the nose there's kind of a heavier malt presence, and some biscuitiness, On the palate, it's definitely on the sweeter side, with a sort of a slight piney/orange hop note. I mean, I don't get poppyseed but to be honest I didn't think I would. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't necessarily find anything that I do.
