Ratings from notes taken September 09. Light yellow pour, hoppy aroma. Flavor was also lightly hoppy with some sweet citrus on the finish. Not bad, but average.

Another of GI’s limited releases, for Spring. Quite a nice IPA, with a good, foamy head and a light amber colour. Not a lot of aroma to this one, but I did enjoy the somewhat hoppy taste. I’ll be getting a few more of these to put away for later. Too bad GI doesn’t brew this all year, as it ’tis MUCH better than their everyday stuff.

[Bottled. Thx rickgordon] Golden with a small, white head. A bit confusing aroma; sourish like white wine and yeast. Pretty dry and grassy hoppiness. Ok malty sweetness. Slightly oily palate.

Bottle (65 cl), thanks rickgordon. Hazy golden, medium white head. White wine-like aroma (Sauvignon Blanc) with some citric hops, and earthy notes. Light to medium bodied, soft mouthfeel. Well balannced, dry and moderately bitter finish.

Bottle. Golden-amber with a good sized white head. Pleasant aroma of soft, sweet malt and pine & citrus hops. Medium bodied. Flavour follows the aroma - fairly simple, but a good flavour balance of sweet malt and citric hops, with a moderately long finish. Not earth-shattering, but quite enjoyable.

Bottle from taphouse. Amber with a nice white head. Aroma is piney with floral hops and light honey. Taste is lightly hoppy, floral with light fruit and citrus.

Draught at the taproom, 5.8% ABV
Blond color. It has a very light aroma of good hops, a bit citrusy. It has a good caramel flavor, quite dry mouthfeel, very bitter with some hop oils. Balanced. Enjoyable.
