Poured from a 473ml can.
I have had this one a few times over the years reading the posts i see that this IPA changes through batches, some pour clear some hazy and some with a strong nose.
Mine pours very clear amber and pretty much no nose.
All in all an ok IPA.

Bought a 6pk at the BC liquor store in Victoria.... date on can is 04/06/20. So 3 months old, in the town where it's made....."popular BC IPA", indeed.

Poured cloudy gold (NOTE: subsequent purchase of fresher-dated product proved this to be strictly an age/staleness issue!!)
Exceptionally impressive, creamy head...2 inches high, long-lasting. Well done on the carbonation.
Some pint glass lacing.
Taste is a bit dry, earthy, no malty sweetness....slightly oily, some good sticky. Aftertaste seems more to the "resiny" end of the spectrum. I'd guess either Topaz or Galaxy.
Too expensive (like all Cdn beer) but a very decent IPA.
And not a hazy fruit juice....so thank gawd for that!

A very good west coast style IPA from BC Canada.
Hazy golden ale with a rich full head that lingers and leaves nice lacing.
A medium hoppy scent of citrus and pine.
The taste is nicely balanced with sweet malt and hoppy bitterness. Maybe could use a little more malt.
Great carbonation so pour a good head.
The mouth feel is crisp and clean and bubbly with a lingering bitterness.
Overall a BC favourite.
