Amber piney tropical. Quick hop front and sessionable. Low/med carbonation Bready with low fruitiness that could use more grapefruit snap Good job on this take. Cheers

Appearance - Pours a dark amber with three fingers of foamy off white head.
Smell - citrus and piney hops, tropical fruits, hint of pine resin, bready malts, caramel, and earthy yeast.
Taste - Citrus and piney hops followed by the tropical fruits. The hint of pine resin, bready malts, caramel, and earthy yeast help to finish the brew off.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops lingering.
Overall - An APA that delivers on the hop front. Sessionable indeed, however, to make it more of a stand out the hops need to be dialed up a bit but other than that a worthy go of a brew.

473ml can, one of two packaged offerings from the (at the time of this writing) newest Calgary craft brewery.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and sort of chunky beige head, which leaves some tiered streaky and frilly lace around the glass as it very lazily subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a minor hard water flintiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and dank pine resin hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, an ephemeral caramel sweetness, some mixed orange, white grapefruit, and generic tropical fruitiness, a sort of wet minerality, and more understated earthy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate supporting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a touch of sticky dankness maybe not rolling so cleanly at this juncture. It finishes trending dry, the forest floor detritus and fading musty citrus hops holding court.
Overall, this is an approachable and rather robust version of the (sub-)style, with that oft-mentioned dank green essence sort of pervading the whole. Not a bad thing, per se, but I would have preferred a bit more fresh citrus offset, and I know that's nitpicking. At any rate, worthy of a try, now that you've heard of them!
