8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.

This beer appears a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent painted lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of juicy tropical fruit, further domestic citrus notes, bready and doughy caramel malt, and some leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, more indistinct exotic fruitiness, a damp minerality, and an additional earthy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty essences extending their lingering stranglehold.

Overall - this is certainly no joke of an IPA, it's just that we could use a tad more bitterness here, is all I'm saying. Definitely sweet and fruity, if that's your bag.
