Awesome IPA (although I would like to see a bit more bite in the front) very well round with hoppy bite smoothed by sweet malty middle and another hop kicker towards the end. Great in bottles, Outstanding on Tap (thank you Eli's!)

This beer pours a hazy golden color with an off white head that is quite dissapating. The aroma is like a pilsner, with very faint aroma of fruity notes in the nose. The mouthfeel is light like a summer pilsner. Faint sweet malts in the nose. Some spicy Cascade notes in the flavor. Not too impressive. Not bad though. Guess a good lighter summertime beer. Good for a BBQ.

pours a semi-hazy orange with an egg-shell head, good lacing.
smell is of grain, some citrus, touch of caramel, some nuts.
taste is crisp, grain, malt in the back, caramel, citrus throughout, slight sour finish, some bitterness also in the end.

650mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours an uninticing pale yellow, with a bit of head and little carbonation, although the current low carbonation could just be that I opened the bottle a couple of small pours ago. Weak hoppy aroma. The taste hits the tastebuds immediately with hops upfront but it ends sharply, almost a bit spicy. No fruitiness or well-rounded flavours, unfortunately.
