| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2003 Bright orangey-amber; curranty, leafy hop aroma, with blood orange and light toast. Fresh, fruity hop palate - apple, salmonberry, lime. Vibrant hoppiness, but understated toasty malts. Sweetish for style. fiulijn (7783), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2008 2008-07-28, draught at the brewery, 7-4-7-5-14=37 Hazy light amber color, creamy head. Good american hops aroma, not too strong, with some caramel and a light cheesy touch (interesting). Good caramel flavor, strong bitterness, dry resins or hop oils too, and very light cheesy touch too. Very pleasant.
2008-07-27, draught at Ship and Anchor, Calgary, 6-3-7-4-14=34 Amber color. Light fruity hop aroma. It has some caramel flavor, light sweetness (I would like more), strong bitterness, with some nice hop oils, and strong final. Simple but pleasant. Rastacouere (5598), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2004 Deep amber, hazy off-white ring. Thick honeyish malt. Orangey and citrusy hops, almost woody. Lots of c-hops on the tongue. It gets to a point where it’s not quite chalky, but not far. Dry finish. Honest mouthfeel. JoeMcPhee (5156), Jackson Heights, NY, Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 3, 2005 1 L flip-top bottle. Nice deep dolgen colour, thick white head. Aroma is slightly citrusy with some light resiny spice. Also prominent biscuit and bready malts backing up the hops. Flavour is quite sweet and bready, with some spicy hops in the finish. Moderately bitter. Could use some more hops. MartinT (5138), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2004 Updated: Nov 28, 2004C-hops portend an incoming dry end and are clobbered by a harshly bitter, almost chalky scratch on the tongue…Butterscotch resides underneath but is completely overwhelmed and decides to stay witness and not participate too much…Very carbonated with piney and intense grapefruitiness...The name is appropriate, this really is a rough and decisive IPA… Cletus (5127), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Bottle courtesy of savvy1982. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of caramel, some tea. Tastes of earth, spice, some pepper. Decent. Lubiere (4767), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 28, 2004 Biscuity malt with orange/grapefruit citrus hop nose. I’d guess Centennial and Cascade. Opaque orange-blonde colour with white head that diminishes to thin cover. Mild malt and vegetal, grassy hops. Very dry. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery. Bottle. Sampled with hopsrus, MartinT and Rastacouere. Thanks Presario!
