This medium bodied, light coloured ale is bursting with juicy citrus and tropical fruit aromas from Citra hops. The pleasant citrusy hop flavour and modest bitterness is balanced with a light malt profile. A sessionable beer for the hop lover.

L: Pours a medium amber colour body, relatively lively, but lacks a strong head.
S: Lightly floral, with a slight touch of citrus, and piney finish.
T: Crisp citrus hops with a slight bitterness, piney note, and light, bready, caramel malt.
F: Medium-bodied, smooth feel. good carbonation.
O: A pretty good pale ale. I enjoyed the variety of flavour and the notes of malt. However, as mentioned in another review, the characteristics seem a bit more like an English Pale Ale. Regardless, I'd recommend it, and will likely have this again.

Clear amber coloured with frothy, lacey lingering head. Piney and pungent aroma. Malt is bread and biscuit. Overall finishes dry with a lingering hop finish

Absolutely tremendous pale ale. Golden copper body with small but fluffy white head that laces decently. Floral, citrus rindy, crisp, and piney on the nose. Flavor is big and bold for a pale ale, on par with most IPAs. Pine, grapefruit, citrus rind, heavy, biscuity malt, green tea, and grassy notes. Wonderful flavor and balance. Feel is medium and highly carbonated, with pleasant, dry bitterness that lasts long after the swallow. Really, really great beer. If I still lived in the Vancouver area this would be a staple in my fridge, good for all occasions.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with light piney notes is quite nice. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops with some piney notes floral undertones and subtle light caramel notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid interpretation of the style.

650ml bottle poured into tulip 16/12/15
A hazy amber liquid, with enough clarity to see a few slow bubbles and some sediment, two fingers of dense foam has decent retention and leaves 5 distinct rings,looking good
S smells like iced tea powder, heaps of herbal, earthy notes, faint citrus, and some wet leaves
T again its all iced tea, herbal tea, some spicy hops, reminds me of an English IPA, not all that "American" in my books
M medium bodied, enough bubbles to give it some life, very fine grit, spicy, herbal finish
O not exactly what I was expecting, no citra notes, the hops are very tame, I'm guessing this bottle might be old but I'll never know for sure as I can't find any date on this one
I've heard good things about these guys but this ones not really blowing me away. A little pricey at 10$ a bomber maybe I'd give it another go if I new it was fresh

Nice, quite bitter right up front; a hard blunt pale ale rather than soft fruity piney. Even though it's more like an IPA its very likeable, maybe even better with food.
