3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Malone’s Urban Drinkery in Downtown Vancouver. A murky golden orange color. Little head on this pour. Bitter hops on the nose. It’s bitter up front; very bitter for a lager in fact. A bit of malt lurking in the background. Possibly the bitterest lager I’ve ever tasted! Not bad.

Clear golden pour with a thin lace. Hop, citrus malt flavour. Rather crisp brew. Enjoyable beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Moose Winooskis for girls birthday. Pours kinda grey blonde in colour. Definitely lots of hops here, but kinda confused on what type of beer this is.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap: A hazy orange-amber ale with a rocky 2 finger white cap. Moderate carbonation. Nose has citrus, fruit and some yeast funk over grainy tones. Medium-light in body, with a fruity-citrusy dry character. Flavour has biscuit malts, ale malt wetness is in check, succulent fruitiness from a warm fermentation and bitter citrus tastes in the front - goes to a fast bittering dry finish with a light bitter aftertaste. Smooth and mellow from cold lagering. I don’t know if this is an IPA by any stringent application of style guidelines but it is a very decent, drinkable IPA hybrid, with all the traits you look for in a quaffable ale - balanced bittering fruitiness, dry finish - very nice effort by this patriarch craft brewer.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours orange-amber with a light foamy head. Weak aroma of hops. Hoppy citrus flavour with a nice bite to it.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear brew sporting an orange or amber colour. muted aroma, some hoppy and citrus aroma, no malts. More of the same on the palate with a light leafy hoppy finish. lacks complexity but I’d rather have this than anything else the brewery makes. Just quit over filtering and they’d have something better.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap. Orange, slight cloud. Fizzy white head. The waitress at Jack Astor’s said "it’s pretty gross". I said "that’s exactly what I want"!
It’s got some citrus as well as grassy hop, but mostly a malty golden lager. It’s ok. And a jack astor’s, ok is the best you’re gonna get.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Enjoyed on tap at the Beer Academy. Listed as an imperial pale lager, 60 IBU. Light grapefruit coloured body, with a half inch of retained head in their goblet. Lots of thick lace. Significant hop aroma. There is definitely citra hops used. The mouthfeel is a bit rough, with strong carbonation. It was served way too cold. Still, flavourful and drinkable.
