Pours with a light foamy head with a golden body. Smells of light pine. Nice crisp and refreshing pour. Easy drinking perfect for those days when you don’t want the fullness of a heavy IPA.

Served cold in a tulip. I have the canned version 4 cans for approx $12.00 Canadian.
Nice coppery golden colour, slight hint of grapefruit scent. Hops are lurking.
I swore off hop bombs a couple of years ago, and this is not one. Flavour is rich and hoppy without being overwhelming and bitter. Good mouthfeel, carbonation goes quick, but the slight thickness of the brew keeps me drinking on.
A little bit of a bitter aftertaste, but it's an IPA.
Overall nice, impressive quality, would like to order on tap to compare.

Clear gold color. Poured a medium head that collapsed to medium sized bubbles in half a minute and to a thin skiff after another half minute. High flow of small bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Left medium sized patches of lace.

Smells of hops, light florals, mixed tropical fruit, and mild horse blanket. Swirling the glass kicked up a stronger horse blanket and more fruit.

Hops and the horse blanket are foreground. There is something funky but it is more bitter than tart. The fruit and florals show up for a second at the start and then slowly fade in as it warms a bit, with the floral really growing towards the end. Medium bitters. The aftertaste starts with the hops then turns to the bitter-tart funk as it slowly tapers down.

Very light tongue tingling as it turns into a large bubbled, unstructured foam. A bit oily towards the end. Light-medium body.

A light beer with heavy flavor? The blend of funk and hops is much like I would have imagined a Belgian IPA would taste like, if I hadn't already had several Belgian IPAs. My notes from years ago show that this has been consistent with the possible exception of the funk, which I hadn't mentioned before.

 

On tap at Brown’s Crafthouse, Vancouver.
Hazy brass; zesty nose; one solid blast of papaya with scratchy end; oily.

Little Fawn doppelganger. A bit more sandpaper than you’d expect. What you want out of a hazy session IPA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice bright clear orange color
subtle hop aroma, clean, crisp taste very refreshing.
First beer I've had from them but can't wait to try some more.
Would revisit this one for sure. CHEERS

 

 

 

I bought this bottle at Sprits of Seymour. It pours slightly cloudy, with a golden colour and small tight head. It smells awesome; hints of tropical fruit and slightly piney. It tastes similar to the aroma with a bitter finish. I would definately recommend this as a sessionable beer, any time of the year
