Poured from a 473ml ca. Canned on Sep.10/2025.
Pours a clear light amber with a medium white head, also nice lacing.
A somewhat thin feel and taste lacing tropical notes for sure, i would class this one as a West Coast IPA .

Great lacing, little light on the carbonation, tight thin white head over a yellow gold liquid.
Aroma are barely there, nothing discernible.
Taste a bit of malt but bowled over soon by super juicy all over the place flavors from grass to pine and a lot in between. And it doesn’t stop - sustains all the way to the next quaff.
Medium mouth feel with a coating that is only stripped by the next taste that you’re only too glad to oblige.

Hazy golden orange - one finger creamy white head, short lived - active carbonation in glass. Citrus aroma - orange, pineapple - as warmed sweet mango.
Taste initially clean malty, quickly piney hops, grapefruit - potent bitterness slightly overwhelming.
Medium to thin mouthfeel to start, but follows with bit of creaminess - lingering bitterness on swallow.

Appearance - Pours a pale copper with three fingers of beige head.
Smell - citrus and tropical hops, pineapple, passionfruit, orange peel, mango, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - A strong punch from the citrus and tropical hops upfront followed by the pineapple, passionfruit, orange peel, and mango. The bready malts and earthy yeast finish the brew off.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops and fruits lingering.
Overall - For my first offering from this new Cowtown brewery, this is a superb and flavourful brew. A true stand out in the copious amount of new Calgary craft breweries opening up as of late. Worth seeking out if your an IPA fan.
