650ml bottle, another new brewery from Abbotsford to make the quick jump to the lucrative (and crowded) Alberta market.

This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some stellar sticky webbed lace around the glass as things quickly recede.

It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, wet breakfast cereals, muddled domestic citrus rind, a bit of indistinct spiciness, and some edgy leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is rather sweet caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee candy, some mixed citrus and sugary tropical fruitiness, subtle earthy yeast, and more testy weedy, grassy, and wet piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its merely supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a soft creaminess wedging its way in almost straight off the bat. It finishes still fairly sweet, the malt and I'm assuming hoppy fruitiness carrying the day.

Overall, this is a more or less pleasantly rendered strong IPA, with the sweetness and hop bitterness really involved in a kind of tug of war with my better senses. I do believe that the former may win out in the end, but that may just be the surprisingly well-integrated 14-proof wowee sauce talking.

Poured from a 650ml bottle, 7.0% ABV, 70 IBU. Nugget, Amarillo, Citra & Simcoe hops.
A: Pours a hazy golden amber with a thin white head and some minor lacing.
S: A wet grass nose from the hops a whiff of tropical fruit.
T: A pretty good B.C. style IPA good hop bitterness fir me it could have left out the simcoe and added more citra.
F: A good malt hop balance no sweetness that i don"t like in a IPA medium carbonation.
O: An ok IPA better than many brewed in B.C.
