May 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep ornage 7 slightly cloudy. Aroma smells like a hop flavored Iced Tea. Taste is Malt dominated with nice hop bitterness. More of an English style IMO. Pretty nice beer but i like more hops

May 16, 2008 12oz bottle purchased for $2.49 from Metro Joanette in Montreal. Pours an unexpected rich dark copper. Little head. Disappointingly weak aroma. Flavour is not disappointing however. It’s strong and rich with a good deal of warming hops. This is not a West Coast IPA in terms of its hop profile - which is somewhat too bad as I feel most of those are tastier.

Apr 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of hogtownharry. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of tea and earth with some grassy hints. Tastes of caramel, pepper, and has some earthy malt character. Mouthfeel is full with a metallic finish.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle from trip to Montreal. After two Le Grimoire drainpours tonight, I needed something good to make up for it, and this was a fine choice. Dark, clear amober with a small off-white head that leaves a decent lace. Aroma and flavour are both big and well balanced, with robust caramel malt notes backing up the piney, earthy hops. Great mouthfeel as well, full without being cloying. A very solid and drinkable IPA.

Mar 28, 2008 341 ml bottle from Harry!!! Nose is caramelly, piney, and bready; clear dark red with a small beige head; flavor is hop bitterness, caramel, and earthiness; finish is bitter with a fishy note deep in the backgound the whole time as if I had been eating fresh caught and fried trout (which I haven’t had since last summer)
