MartinT (4497), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 26, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
This outgoing India Pale Ale’s floral and orangey hop bouquet bursts from suave caramel maltiness until a sustained earthy, green hop bitterness tries to steal the show.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A veil of foam tops the cloudy amber.<br />
-The overall result is quenching even though it’s not that easygoing for the uninitiated.<br />
-The lean caramel sweetness develops peachy fruitiness as well (aided by the hops, I guess?)<br />
-The hoppiness is quite complex and not typical of American or English IPAs. It has as many herbal and wooden qualities as it is fruity, flowery and earthy. Intriguing!<br />
