Hazy golden and copper coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, pungent grassy and herbal hop smell with a good deal of alcohol as well, nice complexity. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive wheaty flavour with a good grassy and floral hoppy note and a ton of orange and citrus notes along with a great belgian and german yeast complexity. Aftertaste shows tons of coriander seed, curacao, yeast and grass with a lot of alcohol and floral qualities - nicely complex. Overall, a nice beer for the style with a lot of hops and a lot of complex yeast characteristics - great to finally sample a very nice beer here in British Columbia. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from the Crosstown Liqour Store in Vancouver, British Columbia yesterday on 07-June-2015 for CA$6,00 sampled in my hotel room here in the centre of town in Vancouver, BC on 08-June-2015.

2015-07-20, draught at Big Rock Urban Brewery, Vancouver, 12oz; 6-4-7-3-14=34
Hazy dark amber color with small head. Slick beer, caramel based, but not sweet; strong bitterness, lightly resiny, but almost not fruity at all. The final is a tad too bitter.
Solid old school IPA.
2015-04-18, bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver; bottled Mar 26 2015; 6-5-7-4-13=35
Amber color, clean, with medium sized head. The aroma has some biscuity malt, caramel, and the hop is mildly resiny, not much fruity; a bit old style but nice. Chewy caramelly malt flavor, with light residual sugars; correct bitterness level, the hops, again, are a bit resiny.
Clean, balanced, yet not as fruity as they tried to convince you, but a good beer anyway.

Bottle, Legacy. Light amber colour. The aroma has a lot of bright, floral hops, with a mango-pineapple note. The taste is chewier than is necessary, and this mutes the hops, which do retain a little of the floral character. Bitterness is only moderate.

Bottle from Legacy. Amber and quite hazy, with a bubbly head. The aroma is older, oxidized hop, even though this beer hasn’t been on the market long. So there’s a brightness issue. The taste is mid-90s APA, with fairly chewy crystal malts, a bit of biscuit, and quite a bit of piney hop with pithy bitterness. A little too old-fashioned for me.

650 ml bottle. Pours an opaque, dark brown with a medium, tan head that laces. Spicy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, roasted malt, nuts and a hint of vanilla. Very spicy flavour of nutmeg, cinnamon, roasted malt, dark chocolate, nuts and vanilla with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A good Winter Seasonal beer, if you like spice!

Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 Sunday tasting at Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell. Pours clear amber with a foamy white head. Moderately sweet, lightly oxidised, with some dry and grainy bread, toffee. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet with slight chocolate notes, earthy bitterness and old toffee. OK.
