3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/202012-09-14. Hazy dark orange amber body, nice beige head and lace. 3+ Flavour is odd at first, quite sweet, with a good amount of sweet malt Character, but a nice sweet orange hops comes through eventually. Mild bitterness lingers in the finish. Modest hops in the aroma, light leafy green touches, toasty caramel malt. Medium bodied palate. Too much malt prominence, this is a hoppy pale ale. Almost seems like it needs to ferment out further to drop some of the sweetness? On tap at Beer Academy, Toronto

625ml bottle
6.5% ABV
Six Pints Brewing/Beer Academy (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
Bottled on September 5, 2012
October 13, 2012
Beer pours a solid reddish-gold colour with a thin tan ring for a head which lasts. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, and caramel. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour is caramel and grapefruit, with some metallic notes in the mix. Overall, very drinkable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewpub
Muddy light amber color, with creamy head. The aroma is nice, a bit fruity and buttery. Smooth mouthfeel, with malt flavor, sweetish, a bit fruity, correctly bitter, very light butter; a bit drier in the end.
Maybe flawed, but decent and pleasant.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
625 ml bottle from the brewpub (Recipe 4, Batch 1). Pours a very murky orange/brown with modest-sized off-white head. Aroma is quite sweet with lightly toasty caramel, grapefruit and other fruit. Flavour is also very sweet, almost candyish, with fairly strong grapefruity hops, some other tropical fruit and a gently toasted but quite present caramel malt. Average plus body. Decent but a little too sweet.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Wow, this ones a doozy. Smells a little like hops drowned in bleach then dried out in the sun. Pours alright, reddish brown with pretty good lacing but palate is pretty nasty and tastes like stink. Reminds me of mill streets 80! - and that’s not a good thing.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Beer Academy. Pours cloudy dark amber with a thin head. Aroma is malty with some fruit hints. Taste: creamy, nutty, fruity American hops, bitter finish. Thick and smooth. A good IPA, but not a great one.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
June 20, 2012 - at The Beer Academy launch event. Draught sample. Slightly hazy amber-gold with small creamy lasting white head. Aroma is a little buttery/papery, but behind that slight unpleasantness is sweet generic light malt and floral bitterness, noticeable alcohol. Taste follows, a little more hop bite to it, a little mineral character (perhaps the way they treat their water?) - (7-). Light body, a little astringency, carbonation is on the mild side, and the finish is a little quick (3-). I just didn’t care for this much - not bad, but I think I need to try it again one day.
