UPDATED: APR 23, 2020 Can from Beer Republic. Floral aroma, well hopped, plenty of pine, some citrus, sweetness. Good beer.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2020 Can bought from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Light to mid-gold and clear. There's a little ring of white head. Marmalade and lemon biscuit in the aroma with some floral notes. Taste is fairly bitter with astringent hops to the fore. Lemon peel and a tpuch of TCP in the finish. Medium to heavy carbonation. Not the hoppiest APA you're likely to have, but it's got some decent character.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2020 On tap at the John B Pub in Coquitlam. An opaque yellow amber beer with a white head and a citrus nose. Very citrus juicy on the palate. Nice.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2020 On tap at World of Beer. Hazy coppery golden with a white head. Tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Fruity and medium bitter. Medium bodied and very crisp. Nice.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2020 Can. Pours a hazy orange colour with a fluffy white head, light hop aroma with some fruit, the taste is medium bitterness and fruity with a dry bitter finish.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2020 Pours a cloudy, light amber coloration with a medium, frothy head. Smell is very subdued with only quite faint biscuity, caramel malt and tropical hops coming through. Taste is not terribly expressive either, but does have a nice balance of biscuity malt and faint tropical/citrus hops going on, with notes of mango, papaya,grapefruit and tangerine, as well as some resinous pine coming through as well. Finishes with a light bitterness and some faint tropical notes and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. While I do realize that is probably a little past its prime at 4 months old, It's really not *that* old and this just doesn't seem to keep up very well. I've had plenty of (I)PAs at the same age that where still a lot more expressive, to be honest. I mean, this is still enjoyable enough for a 5% ABV brew, don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't wow me or anything. I have adjusted my score slightly upwards to make up for the age, but I'm generally getting the impression that Cigar City brews just don't hold up very well by now.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2019 Can from Beer Republic, pouring golden color. Flavor of citrus, malts, bitterness, tropical fruits. Medium body.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2019 Canned, 355ml from Bath Road Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucs. Hazy orange gold with white head. There are hops to this from the start, citrusy, tangy and refreshing. Light on the palate, background tropical fruits. Very pleasant.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2019 Draft at the brewery. Half hazy yellow body, small white head. The aroma has tropical fruit, and the taste is slightly tart with plenty of well balanced hops.

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2019 Draft at Jasper’s Taphouse & Kitchen in Hell’s Kitchen. Hazy pale amber with lacing head. Smooth and easy.
