3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz Bottle. A mix of caramel, toffee and hop sugars rises from the glass, without much punch. Soft and malty. Pours a clearish red-brown, with a tall frothy soap in ochre. Flavor is confusing. It’s mostly caramel malt and faint, faint bitterness. This is hoppy? There’s some faint bitterness, oil-like, but nothing that indicates this has much hops. It comes across as a toasted Amber Ale. Clean, fresh and tasty. There is a slight styrofoam note somewhere in there. Way off style. Not nearly enough hop character. Did they mislabel a different beer? Thanks Dany!
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a nice medium amber with a thick lasting head. Aroma is grassy herbs, earth, garbage-like actually, with some vegetal, and sharp metallic like harsh caramel malts- ech. Flavor is quite a bit worse, with more metallic coming through, grass dirt, garbage, and lots of very astringent and nasty dirty weeds. Astringent drity metallic bitterness- ech. Terrible. Couldnt finish. A rare miss from Bieropholie.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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

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.

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.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

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)
