Poured from a 650ml bottle. 007 The Golden Hop and El Dorado Hops.
A: Pours a clear golden amber with a nice thick white head a some nice lacing.
S: Dank hops with background fruits.
T: Hops are first a hint of tropical fruit with a sweet finish.
F: Nice carbonation clean mouthfeel.
O: Pretty nice DIPA i think a add of Citra or Amarillo hops would improve this one big time.

650ml bottle - part of their 'experimental hop series', one which includes 'resonous' [sic] hops. How on Earth do I get a job writing these side blurbs (correctly) for beers in Western Canada, at the very least? Fuck.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rocky dirty white head, which leaves some hovering invading mothership lace around the glass as it genially recedes.
It smells of dank pine RESIN, further musty herbals, muddled domestic citrus flesh, a bit of more exotic, if still indistinct tropical fruitiness, gritty and grainy caramel malt, and further leafy, weedy, and musty green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, still mixed and matched citrus and forest floor hoppy esters, a twinge of wayward son yeastiness, and more leafy, weedy, and gently perfumed floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly solid in its take no prisoners frothiness, the body a stoic middleweight, and generally smooth, with a creaminess that might have fared well, except for the burgeoning alcohol heat lurking about. It finishes well off-dry, the malt, very fruit-forward hoppiness, and lingering bitterness the order of the proverbial day.
Overall, this is a fairly aggressive and enjoyable version of the style, with a serious melange of new and old world fruity hops presiding. Sort of easy to put back, as the 18-proof alcohol measure kind of makes an issue of it, after a short spell. Beer? Yes. Weird? Not really.
