Pours clear, gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is big dank hops with notes of melon and pine. Medium bodied, bitter and high carbonation. Makes for a really good ipa. Not as dank as Two Roots ipas but up there. Certainly as good as alcoholic ipas. Was not expecting to iike this as much as I do.

500ml can, courtesy of an old friend taking me out for dinner at Otto, a trendy (in a good way - hey, Ed!) sausage and good drinks joint in that (very) slowly gentrifying area northeast of YEGDT. The label sez 'contains less than 0.5% alc/vol', FWIW.
This beer pours a generally clear, pale bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random streaky cloud-form lace around the glass as it lazily dissipates.
It smells of subtle grainy and crackery cereal malt, some hard water flintiness, a hint of muddled domestic citrus pith, and more earthy, musty, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is more kind of restrained-seeming bready and biscuity pale malt, some orange and red grapefruit citrus rind oils, further faint tropical fruity notes, and a steady leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly evenhanded in its palate-assuaging efforts, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a mild hop acridity doing its best to prove that this is the real west coast IPA deal, I suppose. It finishes trending dry, the charade almost complete.
Overall - yup, this is by far the best attempt at making a real-boy craft IPA without that niggling (YMMV) booze quotient, that I have yet to come across. Crisp, enjoyable, and a pleasant enough foil to those awesomely greasy and bursting with flavour local links, garlic-herb fries, and fancy-schmancy mac 'n cheese - and the braised red cabbage wasn't too shabby, either!
