Slightly hazy pale yellow-straw color. Poured a medium head that collapsed to a patchy skiff in a minute. Low flow of tiny bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Left a few patches of lace.
Very light hop and yeast smells. Just a touch of barnyard. Swirling the glass kicked up a bit more barnyard.
Light hop flavor with a medium bitter. Some cereal malt shows up when it warms a bit. The aftertaste is a very clean, light hop flavor with milder bitters. Generally this seems uncomplicated, but a bit thin.
Light carbonation. Quickly becomes a fine bubbled foam with no tongue tingling.
Interesting light beer that could easily be an every day beer if you were the sort of person to drink the same thing all the time. The thin flavor tastes more like the output of the brewing has been diluted rather than less raw materials used up front.

Can: Poured a pale golden color ale with a nice white foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry cereal notes with light dry hoppy notes is OK. Taste is an OK mix of dry hoppy notes with some dry cereal notes with a light grainy finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Falls a bit short on the hoppy front but enjoyable nonetheless.

This is a good pale ale.
Poor's a cloudy straw colour with light foamy head.
Smells of citrus and clean stone fruits.
Flavours is lightly malty with a crisp citrus front and slightly resin finish.
Just a little light on the mouth but what do you expect from a session.

Part of a sampler 12-pack. 3 cans of 4 different beers. Purchased in a liquor store in Fernie BC.
Pours a pale yellow color, clear with a thin white head.
Smell is a fruity citrus aroma, lemon and grapefruit.
Taste is balanced with a malt flavor and a dry citrus bitterness.
Feel is light clean and dry.
Overall a good IPA. A little dry for my taste but good.

An ok Session IPA, not great a bitter after taste that is not right . So many Session IPA's out there this one needs a bit of work but a good try.
Poured from a 355ml can a nice Amber color very little head with minor lacing. Slight dank nose nice when it first hits the mouth but that after taste pops up.

A clear golden yellow with some very fine suspended particles, short lived finger of foam leaves a single ring with a couple teardrops
S big tropical nose with some pineapple, passion fruit, guava, lemon, plenty of cereal, a little floral, some spruce, smells great for a little guy
T toned down version of the nose but a little grainy and some cracker, still plenty of tropical hops but sweet grains start taking over
M light and fluffy, a mild bitte bite, just a little grit with a lemon rind finish
O great little ISA that working well in the heat, didn't follow through after a great nose but solid everywhere
I've had random luck with Fernie but this ones a little winner that I'll drink again over the summer
