grandgenie (259) - gatineau, Quebec, - JAN 13, 2009
Dégusté avec french tickler le 5 juin 2007. <b>On Tap</b> Listed as American IPA. Clear golden poor with red highlights. Thin off white head with good lacing. Aromas of pink grapefruit, peaches, orange zest and a hint of blueberries. Good IPA bitterness with a dry finish. Full bodied and nicely effervescent. Flavors of alcohol, lots of fruity notes and pepper hints... predominant grapefruit. Very enjoyable!

Gros bouquet de fruits exotiques, toundra avec une profondeur maltée évidente. En bouche c’est malheureusement pas comme dans mes souvenirs, une descente végétale se fait sentir. Je serai pas trop dur considérant que j’adorais cette ipa.

callmemickey (1355) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 2, 2012
UPDATED: MAR 1, 2013 On tap at Benelux Montreal. Light amber body, moderate white head, soapy lacing. Dominated by piney hops. Complemented by floral and grapefruit hops, light caramel malt. Medium bodied, appropriate carbonation, clean, lightly bitter finish. Nice.

The best IPA I tasted in Montreal. Pale orange in color. Big-time pine and citrus nose and taste follows. The sweetness is bready and roasted sugar, perfectly balancing the big time hops. Go Canada!

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - JUN 24, 2012
Hazy amber. Rich piney aroma. Rich piney aroma hops with light caramel accents. Good, balanced with nothing special. Nice IPA.

Bov (8158) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - JUN 20, 2012
draught@brewpub - quite clear dark amber beer under a solid and persistent creamy beige foam; pretty flowery hoppiness; full-bodied and very bitter, long flowery hoppy finish - powerful and very flavorful

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

SlovakSniper (2115) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 25, 2012
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!
