mgermani (500), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada May 4, 2008 Pours a nice orange with a creamy head and nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet with lovely fresh grassy hops. Holy lupulin batman! Nice oily hops, light maltiness, good crisp finish. Astringent, fresh, yum! Good body & carb. Could use a touch more malt. Nice! Sammy (2776), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 23, 2008 Downtown Dix. A bit cold, letting her warm up. Active carbonation, a decent mouthfeel, a competent IPA, 8.2% ABV, a decent mouthfeel, drinkable. C hop in aroma and taste. presario (2275), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Nov 10, 2007 Pint. Amber with a creamy head. Light aromatic citrus hop nose. Aggressive lasting hop flavours and sweet malt. Don’t notice the alcohol. Nice balance. Chewy juicy citrus. Beershine (978), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 24, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2007A clean and vibrant IPA. Strong pine oil aroma, pleasant. Lovely haze. Gorgeous lacing. Hopped up and mellow at the same time. Manages also to have assertive body but not sticky or heavy. Soft mouthfeel and high level of quaffability. Potential for session drinking.
Sampled Oct 24, 2007 at the brewpub. Re-rate Oct 31: although equally as tantalizing, tdiacetyl (slight sour/yeasty) seeped through. Too bad! Doesn’t prevent me from ordering again tho. BeerPrince (1682), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jul 17, 2007 After Oakes told me of this great beer I finally headed three blocks down the road to try it. This really is a great IPA, one of the best. The hop and malt balance is bang on and it finishes with such a clean dryness. A beauty.
