A contemporary take on a craft classic, assertively hopped with a distinctive Pacific Northwest hop flavour and aroma from Chinook and Palisade hops.

First beer opened from CanBIF 2014! Poured ~4C into a beer mug.
A: Hazy golden with a tight white head. Minimal lacing
S: Meh. No discernible hop aroma. Some vegetal aromas on the nose.
T: Fairly nice. Some malt, though hidden by fruity melon hop notes.
M: Overly biting and bitter. Not balanced well by the body. Essentially an IPA without the balancing nose.
O: A decent stab at an XPA, though a little too bitter and needs a bit more hop to balance it out. Hope to see more from this brewery!

Very good drinkability, led by decent taste experience, on tap at Junction Tap Room. Yeasty and hoppy like a Belgian IPA. Yeast less noticeable as it warmed and hops accumulated in the mouth/ Some head and lace. Worth a try for hopheads as IBU were in the 60 range.
