COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A copper-colored beer, a jewel scintillating in your glass, complex hop aromas, malt up the ying-yang and an aftertaste which endlessly proliferates a wise mix of hops. In short, the exact contrary of a "Dry". The "With Aftertaste" mentioned on the bottle is not an error in marketing judgment. It is a voluntary and defiant, non-traditional piece of counter-marketing. A kind of warning to "Dry" lovers; "Don’t touch this! This is not for you!" In the future, we may only indicate "With taste", which could be more precise and less defiant. All in all, you’ll love it.

some grapefruit mid-sip. Chewy on some cookie crumbs and lemon rind. Crisp refreshing not-too-dry aftertaste, not bitter. Wonderful with meat sub or most fish. Well-made balance.

Dark amber appearance with a fairly large head. Unique aroma of fruity malts, toffee, pine and even some smoke. Flavor favors the maltier IPA style, though not necessarily "English". Soft carbonation accents the medium-body taste. Finishes with a spicy bitterness (or is it a bitter spicyness?). Many thanks to tiggmtl for a great trade.

Nice strong smell of hops, nice light color like iced tea :) bitterness is present like burnt caramel. Good to drink in a hot summer day

Hoppy, fresh with hints of rosewood and sweet fruits. Less one dimensional noose than most IPAs , but on bad note alcohol is show to much . Tea-amber , thick head . Pleasant look .High bitterness, with medium dark malt. Medium dry finish . Good, yet different.

OKBeer (1168) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUN 16, 2004
Dark amber, almost ruby colour with a frothy fully diminishing tan coloured head. Caramel, fruity, grapefruit, and toffee aroma. Woody and bready malt flavours, with a piny and grapefruit bitter finish. Light bodied and a tad watery.

DaSilky1 (2570) - San Diego, California, USA - JUN 10, 2004
dark clear sappy maple color with a a fast shrinking cream colored head..musty, caramelly hops..slight burnt citrus..flavors start with a very firm and almost dominant malt background (foreground?) with a spicey, almost spicey orange zest taste...pretty light IMO and not enough bite for me. not bad though.

Jiffypark (31) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 9, 2004
Poured a cice off-white, tight head but faded fast. Very clear amber red. Nose was pretty bold but the kicker was to taste it: bitter, heavy and hoppy.

Crockett (916) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 27, 2004
Surprisingly dark for an IPA. Clear orange red. Big off white lacing head. Caramel hop nose with clover. Grainy, strong hops, and burnt. Balanced with lots of malt. Vanilla, earthy molases and wood. Filling with a roasty finish. At the border of being heavy. Nice example with a bit of a Quebecois twist.
