Look: Clear, golden, with a fluffy white head.
Smell: Crisp, clean hops, notes of grains and citrus. Not a super powerful or complex scent, but very refreshing.
Taste: Hops, a bit grassy and citrusy, leaves a mild hoppy aftertaste and a bit of spice.
Feel: Rather light carbonation, leaves a sort of dry aftertaste, but not as intense as some other pale ales.
Overall: Overall a solid APA, a little mild for my tastes but not unpleasant. Very accessible in my opinion, something good to try if you're not sure how you feel about hoppy beers yet.

355ml can poured into tulip 29/4/16
A slight haze in a bright golden yellow body, a finger of off white head sticks around long enough to leave a couple rings followed by random patches
S canned pineapple, leafy, lots of citrus peel and flesh, slightly floral, some bready notes, hard caramel, vitamin C chewables, smells strong and fresh, great start
T lemon rind and spruce added to the mix, some spice I can't place, a little toned down compared to the nose but still solid
M medium weight but it creams up and has a nice bitter bite, a little gritty with a spicy rind finish
O I'd heard good things about this brew and I'm pleased to say my sources were accurate, super drinkable and I'll be adding this one to my Summer rotation for sure
This new "local" brewery recently popped up on my radar and after this one I'm hungry for more. I'm hoping some of the other new breweries that seem to pop up weekly in Alberta can make some liquid of this quality.

355ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a golden honey yellow with three fluffy fingers of eggshell head that leaves happy little clouds of lace as it recedes.
Smells fantastic. Bright juicy citrus, mildly sweet bready malt, fresh pine resin and green leafy hops.
Tastes of sweet orange and bitter grapefruit flesh, lemon rind, more mild pale malt and more leafy, piney hops.
Feels smooth and easy. Medium-light bodied with soft carbonation. Finishes mildly dry.
Verdict: Vigorously recommended. I predict that I will drink many more of these in the future.
