Clear redish brown rusty pour with a clingy white head. Hoppy and flowery scent. A bit nutty, flowery and lots of fruits. Just a touch of bitterness. Rather like this. The brewers saw we should be able to find this in the LCBO next week or so. I’ll be picking some up when we do.

Poured from a 341mL bottle. Clear medium brown with nice off-white head. Medium hop aroma with some honey and citrus. Easy on the hops. Light body, mild finish - very Parallel 49.

Pick a hop pack. 341ml, 6%abv. As the name says, it pours ruby, if not amber in color. The head is tight, and tan colored. It has good retention, and sticks to the glass. Subtle aroma with notes of molasses, and sweet citrus. The smooth base of pale, crystal, and victory malt is well complimented by the cascade hops. Medium carbonation and some chewiness. Overall, smooth, satisfying, and a good example of a hop forward amber ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A decent tasting, sessionable beer. High carbonation level which gives it a cidery feel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A study in Cascade hops, really. Extremely simple, but clean and quaffable. I guess this is the Pacific Northwest version of the English bitters you see in every little town made with the same ingredients over there. Enough resin to make me happy, crystal malt adds depth, and the drink winds up very quaffable. I’m really glad they made something this simple so well; one of the best BC "sessionables".

Draught at Kingston Taphouse and Grille, Vancouver
Dark amber color with creamy head. Light aroma of caramel and very light earthy touch (manure). Nice caramel flavor, quite lean mouthfeel, with correct bitterness.
Easy, flawless, not bad.

A hazed dark amber IPA with a thin mocha head. In aroma, fragrant floral hops with smooth biscuit malt, orange pulp. In mouth, a nice honey biscuit malt with clover field, floral hops, citrus, nice and smooth.Cask at Toronto Cask Days 2012, Oct. 27 2012.

[4887-20121027] Cask. Evergreen hops aroma. Murky, brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Bitter evergreen herbal pine hops flavour has a resiny finish. Medium-full body. Good. (7/3/7/3/15) 3.5
