3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Big, bold, brash American IPA that delivers as promised. On tap, introduced as 7.2%. Orangey-yellow with haze and ample head. Aromas are big grapefruit with a decent malt background. Good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle - 500ml. Light amber body with an average white foamy head. Fresh hoppy aroma with malty and flowery hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries grapefruit and grainy notes. Ends with a decent bitter finish. Very drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Really enjoyed this. In bottle. Pours dark orange. Up front lots of great hop notes. Some nice malt backing, and the bitterness lasts. Medium in the mouth with lively carbonation. Wish this had wider release.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Appearance: hazy golden orange, proud snow white head. Aroma: bitter pine, leafy, good malty backbone yet still lots of hops shining through. Flavour: Deliciously hoppy, a lovely ’zing’ on the tongue, lots of malt, with a prominent tangy hop Flavour to boot. A delicious offering and in my opinion it’s Amsterdams best regularly available beer along with being one of the best IPA’s in Ontario.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A pretty flaky IPA. Blink once and the bitterness is gone. Don’t know why I even thought a Toronto company that calls itself Amsterdam is worth trying.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A hazed amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, wild herbaceous malt, with grassy, resinous hops, mineral notes, very nice. In mouth, a smooth grassy malt with light burned notes, light butterscotch, decent. On tap at Volo, Oct. 29 2011.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Town Crier in Toronto. Cloudy amber/orange pour. Juicy aroma or grapefruit and pine. Fairly fizzy, light body. Caramel breadiness gives way to the hops - nice bitter grassy pine and citrus. Lingering finish. A bit acidic. Overall a tasty IPA. Packs a nice punch.

On tap (on the menu as a West Coast IPA - at the BierMkt). Amer pour with a small sized off white head. Floral with some citrus and caramel. Thin body and thin all around. Weaker for an IPA (let alone an IIPA).
