Appearance - Pours a light copper with two fingers of off-white head.
Smell - earthy, leafy, floral, piney and herbal hops, bready malts, caramel, grapefruit peel, pine resin, and earthy yeast.
Taste - earthy, leafy, floral, piney and herbal hops upfront. The bready malts, caramel, grapefruit peel, and pine resin follow suit. The earthy yeast finishes off the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops lingering.
Overall - An APA that is very pleasant to drink with the hoppiness and maltiness. I wish there was more from the hops though as they seem a little muted for the style.

473ml can - for some reason I thought that I'd had this one before via growler, but I guess not!
This beer pours a clear, medium golden copper colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some eroding limestone shale cliff lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of somewhat dank pine resin, a bit of musty yeastiness, gritty and grainy cereal malt, faint domestic citrus rind, and some plain earthy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and mildly crackery pale malt, a faded white wine lees-esque yeasty thing, still hard to define citrusy esters, Pez candy, and more understated leafy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the sugary malt essence showing the most lingering elan.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough, simple-seeming rendition of a hoppy pale ale, with a bit of quality control issues to work out, IMHO. Those musty, estery, and yeasty notes don't belong here, and it looks like this is becoming more and more prevalent in Alberta craft beer as product is rushed to market (an otherwise happy situation).
