Steam works IPA is somewhat better. But this beer is a perfectly acceptable IPA. I wonder if the hops are from across the border or not

16oz glass at Beer Revolution's tap takeover for Bomber Brewing, or at least the leftovers. Whatevs - happy Valentines Day to me!
This beer appears a clear, pale golden amber colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random coral atoll lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of zesty orange and white grapefruit, grainy caramel malt, a generic Pez candy-like chalkiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, mixed domestic and tropical citrus rind bitters, a fading wet stone flintiness, and equal to the task leafy, grassy, and piney hops.
The carbonation is quite light on its frothy and sometimes fizzy feet, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, the hops once again restraining themselves for the greater good. It finishes off-dry, the lingering caramel sweetness still in tough against a testy citrusy and piney acridity.
Overall, a well-made West Coast IPA, the hoppy goodness definitely having been brought, while that sense of sanity-maintaining balance is duly provided by the stoic malt. Easy to drink, and certainly enjoyable in its come and play with me sassy attitude.

From growler fill at brewery, nice staff. Pours the definition of brassy, very pretty beer. Would prefer more citrus less hops myself, good beer but not great.

Pours a nice amber color,no head on it really (i pour very slow) and no lacing.
Somewhat sweet on the palette not a hop bomb at all an ok drinking IPA but nothing
special. So many more out there in B.C. that are better.Good try though.

On draft at the brewery, Vancouver.
Glowing tangerine with white rings that sheet. 4
Incredible fresh squeezed orange-herbal oily nose. 4.5
Hint of blonde toffee crushed by stupidly gorgeous straight Amarillo oily clementine hops. 4.25
Slightly jagged finish and drying linger.
Effortlessly smooth, lt-med, round. 4
Juicy! More citrussy than a smoothie. I drank this ten feet from the bright tank, so who knows it it can taste this good anywhere else. But right now, it’s a paragon of PNW C-hops and a top 3 Van IPA. 4.25
2nd tasting: Not quite as fresh in the bottle but plenty of citrus and creamy pineapple over sturdy bitterness.
