Gravity cask, at Benelux. Nice and fresh, american hops with a sweet caramel backing. Solid beer, very nice on cask.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2012 (Un verre de 10 oz à Montréal le 23 février dernier) Une robe ambrée passablement amochée par les fines particules qui la voile. Une petite tête mousseuse qui laisse quelques traces derrière son passage. Un nez de pamplemousse rose avec de très fins parfums d’aiguilles de pin. Des saveurs juteuses de pamplemousse et de pomélo. Une réponse des malts qui se veut apaisante dans son habile retranchement. Une bouche légèrement lourde avec un pétillement bas et une texture huileuse. Une finale amère et fruitée, assez longue et justement amère. En résumé, j’aime les arômes et les flaveurs bien définis des agrumes et je n’aime pas la molle effervescence qui fait légèrement obstacle à son degré de buvabilité.

En fut @ Benelux. Fidele à ses intentions d’être une IPA d’inspiration cote ouest americaine: pamplemousse blanc, résine de pin, fruits tropicaux. Excellente!

on tap at cactus. clear orange with a decent head, some retention and lacing. faint malts but nice floral bouquet, loads of grapefruit and citrus, slightly piney, still light to medium hopping. easy drinking beer. low carbonation, light body. good.

Best microbew IPA available on the island of Montreal. Cannot be unsatisfied.

Draft: Poured a clear bright amber color ale with a mice foamy head with good lacing. Aroma of solid piney hops notes with light citrus undertones. Taste is refreshing with loads of piney hops notes and citrus aspect is also noticeable. Body was about average with good carbonation. This is a real hops bomb with limited malt presence being noticeable. I must admits that this one really convince me – probably one the best IPA from Qc that I’ve had the chance to drink.

Just the way i like it, hoppy, bitter and citrusy. I was impressed with that beer being very dispointed with ipa’s latelly. A must try for any ipa or hop lover.

Draft. Pours a rustic orange body with an off white head and light head retention. Finally pine and grapefruit notes, wedges of green grass with a light hoppy resnious juicy body. Pine and a mild malt background. Lovely

[3442-20101029] Cask. Sweaty resin aroma. Hazy, medium orange brown body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Bitter hops and mostly resiny cedar flavour. Medium body is bitter. Quite bitter but seems one-dimensional.
(Cask Days @ Volo, Toronto, ON)

Tap at Volo (in Cask). Great beer. Aromas grass and caramel. Taste has a sweet start, with long lasting bitterness. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.
