Great citrus nose. Light Amber appearance. Taste is assertive hoppiness but there is a bit of a weird flavor -- I think it is from the tap line. I’ve had this beer and it was a lot cleaner. That being said, it is a very solid IPA.

Pours dark cloudy brown with a small head. Strong floral hop aroma. Good mixed taste of caramel malts and hops with hops dominating. Flavor is amazingly flavorful. DidI just say that? Yes. mouth feel is medium full. Finish is a little sweet.

Draught: Citrus fruit aroma, some pineapple, dry grass, and some hops. Cloudy dark orange, filmy ring of a head patchy. Strong orange flavor, piny wood, dry hop finish. Palate is smooth but a bit too dry.

Was going to say that nothing beats a free beer, but have had far too many try to pawn off Shiner, etc. So nothing beats a free beer that’s GOOD. Excellent aroma and a flavor and body that stand up even after having a LH Widdershins. Job welll done. Need to get back and have some more. MMMmmmm Simcoe!

10-12-07 tap. Amazing citris grapefruit aroma. No soapy smell or taste. Perfect amount of fruit in smell and flavor. Thick murky amber. Somewhat slow moving and stagnant on the palate but I don’t mind it at all. It is quite drinkable and enjoyable. Would love to have another!

Wow, I actually really loved this beer. Very nicely done.
Rich dark orangish honey colored pour with just a light short lived head. Smell is big big big and sweet citrusy grapefruit like hops. No soapy, cleaning product hop aroma like lots of IPAs seem to have. Taste is extremely balanced, not overly hopped, incredibly smooth and drinkable with a similar hop flavor to the smell and a nice mild sweetness to round it out. Same fruity quality to it I tend to get from their other beers, but in this one it really seems to add to the beer and fits perfectly. Huge hops aroma, yet a smooth milder hop flavor and bitterness makes this easily one of my favorite IPAs ever. A must try.

Wow. Powerful. Very piney. Hops through the roof. Citrus smell is a mix of grapefruit and lemon peel(?) Somewhat chewy. Very nice.

Amber, creamy white head. Nice fresh hop nose of grapefruit rind, pine, and hints of earth and sweet malt. Flavor is much of the same with a good hop bitterness throughout with just soft amounts of sweet malt. One sided towards hops, but fine by me. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry, bitter finish. More D-IPA then IPA, but no matter. This was top notch stuff....
