Vancouver 27/7 2018. 65 cl bottle from Viti Liquor Store, Hastings. Black and Gold, serious looking label saying only the barets necessities (who, what).

Pours hazy pale yellow with a big, stable, white head. Settles as a 1,5 cm thick layer of frothy foam. Clinging to the side of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense and quite moderate for a IPA. Light sweetness from exotic fruit, moderate bitterness.

Strong carbonation. Thin, prickly and lively texture.

Flavor is lightly sweet followed by medium bitterness. Aftertaste is moderately bitter. Finish is dry.

Kind of subdued and moderate IPA with a lot of fizz.

650ml bottle - with a rather austere, yet attractive label design. My second version of this newest of IPA iterations in as many weeks.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of thick forked lightning pattern lace around the glass as it lazily dissipates.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, acrid orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus pith, an indistinct grapiness, matchsticks, some hard water flintiness, and plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, a further tame tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and an understated floral, grassy, and piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite sedate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generally smooth, with a small airy creaminess evolving with the rising temperature around here. It finishes off-dry, barely, with the hops slowly edging out the idea of a lingering maltiness.

Overall - yeah, I'm not getting that lip-puckering dryness that one might be expecting in something like this. Otherwise, it's a decent modern IPA, nice and rounded in its flavour profile. Easy enough to put back with some 'za on a rainy (finally) Saturday night.

Poured from a 650ml bottle. Nothing on there web site on IBU ect.
Reading up on the Brut IPA's this is the trick a brewing enzyme — amylase glucosidase. Out of San Fran .Kodos to Kim Sturdavant, brewmaster at San Francisco’s Social Kitchen and Brewery.
Poured from a 650ml bottle into my IPA glass.
A: Pours a clear light gold with a nice white head and good sticky lacing.
S: A mild grassy hop nose not a lot there .
T: Nice and super dry with good hop flavors.
F: Light- medium body very clean crisp finish.
O: I like this style my very first Brut i love the dryness the brut style removes the sugars.
