From tap at Taphouse Grill. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and light toasted malty. Fruity, citrusy and crisp hoppy. Sweet fruity, crisp hoppy and light grapefruity to citrusy. Smooth fruity and light toasted malty finish, smooth bitter.

Draught at the brewpub. Pale amber. Rich aroma of lychee and grapefruit. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and near full body. Finished of with fruits and pleasant bitterness. This was the one beer I actually liked here. There is enough hops to cover the malt profile that I really don’t appreciate.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Cloudy amber color, with a medium sized creamy head. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee and cereals; later it gets a bit dusty. Good body structure; there is a pleasant flavor of malt and toffee, with moderate residual sweetness; strong hopping, resiny and also quite fruity, finishing with a sweaty hop touch. Long final.
A pleasant, sweetish IPA.

Draught, at the brewery

Cloudy. Light amber colour. Woody, citrusy hop aroma - all hops. The body is a little thin and malts undeveloped. Very woody and bitter - but not balanced. Definitely would want to see this one less attenuated.
