Draft @ Sportstown. Hazy amber. Big thick head. The aroma is nice, toasty caramel, with floral antipodean hops. Rich, with rye chewiness, and a fair bit of alcohol signature as well. Lots of those floral hops, too.

Draught at St. Augustines, Vancouver Dark amber color with red hue, hazy, compact head. The aroma is not too strong, but provides some fruity hops, and a floral touch. Full bodied, just the right amount of sweetness to balance the nutty caramel flavor; and then a holy cow of hop goodness, with a distinctive fruity presence. Nutty final. Clean. Excellent.

Bottle - Sweet caramel, grapefruit hops, spicy rye and some tropical fruit. Cloudy copper with a decent white head. Bitter and fruity up front, caramel and la light spice. A bit floral as well. Very interesting with lots of flavors. I think this is pretty nice and complex.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Gerbeer (2462) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 3, 2015
650 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of gummy bears, candied fruit, and sweet malts with definite floral/perfume notes. Flavors of sharp grain/rye, dark candied fruit, and more sweet malts. Acrid and somewhat off balance.

Bomber. Clear ruby copper, firm tan foam settles and mostly lasts. Spicy foresty fruity aroma. Tropical forest fruit taste, bold and rich, toasty caramel malt, tangy spicy rye aftertaste. Average carbonation, medium bodied, well hopped. Really tasty Rye PA. NFL (Not For Lagerboys)

On tap at St. Augustines, pours a pretty clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out sharp piney and floral hops, with just enough crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of piney hops, light fruitiness and some dry biscuity malt. Very good balance of hops and malt. Another great IPA from these guys.

Foamy white lasting head atop a brownish red body. Interesting hoppy head with a melded Amarillo and more pine Citra. This is well balanced slight roasted malt. Rather potent 8% abv. I must admit I like this.
