12 fl oz can. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a huge white head. Aroma is dry grapefruity and pine hops. Bitter, toasted malty and pine hops. Dry hoppy and lingering pine towards herbal finish.

JamesChamp (108) - Oakville, Ontario, CANADA - APR 12, 2013
UPDATED: APR 16, 2013 Not a bad beer but not a great beer for the style of IPA. Just does not have that extra taste so many other IPA’s have. There are better IPA’s in Ontario now then this one.

MrFecesious (325) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 7, 2013
On tap at yaggers. Yellow gold, with a light citrus & straw aroma. A bit of attic dustiness. Taste is malty citrus. Not much hoppiness at all. A very tiny bit of a dry bite at the end, but mostly just a thirst quencher.

vadie (210) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 27, 2013
Extremement pale pour un IPA. Une grande mousse qui reste pour un petit bout d’temps. L’arôme et le goût sont d’houblon, mais pas fort et pas bonne. Très déçu pour un IPA du C-B. Blah.

Narnad (1340) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - MAR 16, 2013
Pours a very clean orange color with a modest, dense creamy head. Aroma is pretty grainy and grassy. Flavor has a HUGE amount of grassy notes withe a modest pale malt presence at the end and no sweetness anywhere. Body is light/modest and holds the very strong bitterness okay. Overall a kinda bland, one dimensional beer. Nothing terrible but nothing to look for either as its not "Brewed in the style of a Pacific Northwest IPA" in my opinion.

In tap at the tasting room in Vancouver. Was expecting more. Not as hoppy as I like. More malty than some. Average ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

CanCrusher (309) - Ilirska Bistrica, SLOVENIA - JAN 14, 2013
Bottle 0,33 L. Pours clear amber colour, with thin white head. Aroma is more or less hoppy. Grapefruit, orange and some pine. And a bit of caramel, too. Light sweet at the start of the sip, turns into a medium bitter in the aftertaste. Medium body with soft carbonation. Not outstanding, but nice decant IPA.

RumRunner101 (384) - British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 9, 2012
Pours a clear amber, no head retention. Aroma is cereals, bread, caramel sweetness and soapy hoppiness. Lively carbonation, medium bodied. Flavour is malt driven and weak. A little bit of bitterness emerges on the finish, but it’s got a weird soapy taste. Pass.

stantheman (362) - British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 2, 2012
On tap and on special at Whet in Granville Island. A passable everyday bevy, but no great shakes. A bit bitter, and a bit of caramel. Not bad for a $4.50 sleeve.

Wanja (322) - Bavaria, GERMANY - OCT 24, 2012
Bottle from Granville Island Brewery, Vancouver. Clear orange color, bad head. Aroma is okay, but the taste is too bitter with a bad aftertaste... Disappointing experience..
