Not as good as some of the other brut IPAs I a
Have had. Not as dry as one would expect but it is crisp. Also unfortunately there is a bit too much year present in the flavour which should be extremely clean.

Appearance - Pours a cloudy apricot/peach with three fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - citrus and tropical hops, pineapple, mango, orange, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - Citrus and tropical hops with a light bitterness. The pineapple, mango, and orange come through next. The bready malts and earthy yeast finish the brew off.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and off-dry with a pleasant lingering bitterness from the citrus and tropical hops.
Overall - A well-executed sessionable collaboration brew. The flavours are spot on and I can easily enjoy a few of these.

650ml bottle - another 'Brut IPA', as we move down this ever-changing path of style re-imagining. Oh, and a collaboration with Toronto's stupidly over-priced Blood Brothers.
This beer pours a murky, medium banana yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly fizzy off-white head, which leaves some random scattered lace around the glass as it genially recedes.
It smells of dank pine resin, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some underripe orange and red grapefruit citrus flesh, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, a damp minerality, and some tame leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some mandarin orange and generic grapefruit esters, wet stone paths after a hard rain, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity perhaps taking things down a notch or so at this point in the game. It finishes, well, dry, as one might have been expecting.
Overall - yup, what we got here is a true-to-form version of the emerging sub-style, nice and crisp and mouth-puckering in its bearing. Worth checking out, and since it was made at the Calgary side of the equation, it's a hell of a lot more affordable, to boot.
