On tap at Bottleworks, pours a clear golden copper with a small white head. Aroma is dank, with hempy hops pummelling through, with just enough dry biscuity malt to back. Flavour is potent, with hempy and pot-like hops, with just enough biscuity malt to back. Not too sweet at all, which I appreciate in these triple IPAs. Very well-balanced, better than their double IPA surprisingly. Excellent.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out fresh wheat, some clove, a touch of banana and a slight hint of citrus. Flavour is very fresh, with loads of wheat and banana upfront, followed by a touch of clove and citrus. Brewed correctly to style, with everything in good balance. Nice hef.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 10oz
Hazy dark blond color, small head. Huge hopping, providing a nice fruity aroma, a lot of orangey oils, hop resins, citrus fruit flavor; lean mouthfeel, the choice of using light malts is always good, but it’s a bit oily and chewy; moderate sweetness, slightly excessive bitterness.
A bit hard to drink, maybe not the best one, but surely an excellent hop soup.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear pale golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out both a lot of piney hops and sweet cereal malt. Flavour is more hop-centric, with lots of piney hops, some floral and earthy notes. Finished hoppy but low on astringency, with just enough sweetness to balance. Very well-constructed. Great stuff.

Draft pour at the lunchbox. Pours a lighter golden color with a patchy foam head. Piney hops aroma. Bitter flavor throughout, but not overwhelming. Crisp flavor with a decent amount of hops. Pretty good.
