Looks good, smells decently, but there is something off putting with the bitterness, almost spam/meat like. Not sure this was a good IPA or not.

Quick: pours a nice hazy gold with about a thumb's worth of head. Head breaks fast leaving little behind. Smell is citrus hops and of grainy malts. Taste is much like the nose, but the malts are a little stronger and the hops have the added benefit of piney. Feel is the high point, feel is medium weight, definitely a good creaminess, medium carbonation and a dry finish.
A nice beer, could easily drink a few of these on a given night.

473ml can - there's a lot of fuss around here about this one's release in Alberta. I remain merely casually interested.
This beer pours a nearly opaque, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some stellar broken webbed lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale cereal malt, muddled acrid domestic citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and more earthy, weedy, and faintly dank piney green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and doughy caramel malt, a lesser wet wheat cracker thing, some prominent earthy yeastiness, damp musty stones, and more leafy, piney, and herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and fairly smooth, with a small airy creaminess pretty much there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the fruity, piney, floral, and fading malty essences all making nice in their lingering platitudes.
Overall - while not a bad version of the style, what with the complex (if underappreciated) malt, and equally robust hop schedule, I'm just not seeing anything here that has the chance of blowing up my proverbial skirt, in this day of good to great IPAs being more common than bottled water, it seems. But you all do you.
