3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Surprisingly average - a cut above the rest of their beers. Some hoppy citrus smell in the beginning - classic west coast hops with minty tang. Pours clear. Finish is bitter and tangy. Give credit where credit is due. On tap at brewpub.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice light gold pour. Citrus and pine aroma, maybe a touch on the sweet side. Good hop profile with juicy tropical fruits cutting into the bitterness. Low carbonation, and easy drinking. Nice.

On tap. Pours a clear copper color with light head. Strong pine and grapefruit aroma. Big Northwest hops flavor: spruce/pine, lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Long acidic bitter finish.

650ml bottle. A fine IPA -- strong west coast hops with good reinforcing malt body. Much better than I remember it being.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Swan’s in Victoria. Very nice amber tint, with citrus floral hop nose. Seems sweet up front, with good hop notes on the finish. A very nice IPA.

Draft at The Alibi Room with the vuong family while visiting vancouver. Pours a hazy orange body with white lacing. Aroma is sweet apricot and citric hops. Mouthfeel is creamy with notes of peach, citrus an pine hop, light resin and apricot.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pineapple and resin, bouncing back and forth, quite fun. Nice orange colour, even brighter than an average IPA. Sweeter, too. If you told me there was some kind of rind in there I just might believe you.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Big hoppy aroma. Perfumes floral and big citrus fruit. Caramel and pale malt sweetness underneath. Pours golden, good clarity, nice head and lace. Fruity and floral bright and hoppy. Citrus and perfumes flavors on top of light caramel and balanced pale malt sweetness. Lingering fruity floral hops. Really solid. Had a few of these.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice IPA. Mostly golden mug from the pub. Thin head. Aroma is delicious bright citrusy hops. Taste is similar, add some resin from the hops and some caramel sweetness to balance it out. Very enjoyable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
650ml bottle pours a golden orange color with a big white head and plenty of nice lacing. Aroma is citrusy and earthy hops. Taste is dominated by earthy and citrusy hop bitterness with a bit of malty sweetness to help balance things out. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated for a nice tingle on the tongue. This is a pretty fine IPA.
