A generously hopped IPA, balanced by a diabolical blend of rich specialty malts and pure mountain water. A wicked ale that leaves you lusting for more.

From a 650 ml brown bottle. Pours out a slightly hazed yet bright copper hue, tall chunky white merrengue-like head with excellent retention.
Beatiful blend of hops on the nose, with citrusy ruby grapefruit and mandarin, light grassy and spicy notes, and even some candied gummy peach sweetness. Dry grainy malt in the background.
A hoppy punch with citrus, herbal, and spicy character up front in the flavour, clean grains in the background, yet things tend to thin out towards the finish. As if things just peter out.... Clean aftertaste.
Medium-light mouthfeel, smooth texture, moderate texture.
If only the flavour lived up to what was promised in the aroma I would be in paradise now. As it stands this is an okay IPA with a bit of depth to it, yet too toned down and muted for most of the flavour.

Pours an amber colour. Has a good fat finger width gold tinged head, with large foamy bubbles. Has a nice hoppy taste with slight bitterness as you would expect from a good IPA. Foams in your mouth, and finishes slightly sweet. One of my personal favorites, delicious by any standard, any occasion!

Beautiful orange colour. Very fruity, piney, dank and citrusy from the hops. Slightly caramelly sweet malt background. Crisp carbonated medium to light mouth feel. Definitely a good, sessionable IPA from both beginners and seasoned hop heads.

S-hoppy , more pine
T-crisp & clean , decent malt , not an overly dry finish
MF-ok/decent carbonation , feels full bodied
Ov-ok/good beer , possible good PNW IPA

It is interesting to taste this IPA, now that I have enjoyed many others in this style. Mt. Begbie was (and remains) one of my favourite BC breweries, largely because I love Revelstoke. I had my first Nasty Habit in Revy and remember thinking how hoppy and strong it was. Overall, its a pretty tame IPA. It pours with minimal head and a mild hop/yeast/biscuit aroma. The taste is quite nice - malt, bittering hops, with a touch of citrus. It finishes quite inoffensively and definitely fits the bill as an accompanying beverage.
