Bottle - June 2006
Pours a cloudy amber - orange color with a medium sized healthy looking white head. Aroma... aroma... well as soon as I opened this one, it inundated the hole place with that oily hoppy aroma.. fantastic.Spicy, caramelly very complex and wonderfull (maybe from a hop variety unknown in this lands) really intriguing. Taste is caramelly a hint of hopiness very soft carbonatation. Strange, but despise the commercial description this is a brew I would call "dry" although it really has a caramelly trait to it. Really strange IPA (not that I have tasted so many of them), defiant but calm at the same time. Although it manages to form a nice head and to leave some lace, the carbonatation is really subtle. Mouthfeel is medium, rather dry. Aftertaste is rather calm for an IPA but pleasant. There is something strange going on in this brew, I would love to know the hop schedule since I think it has something to do with that (the earthiness, and certain citrus hints)
An unusual IPA involved in a rather unusual streak of canadian brews, courtesy of a great guy, Lubiere.

Dec 7, 2008 20080728 12oz bottle shared with dickinsonbeer. Wow. Horrible aroma and flavor of cooked canned green beans. Offputting flavors of old peat and mud. Amazing that Paul and I agreed for once on a terrible beer. Too bad, I seem to usually like the Bieropholie stuff.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from Terroirs. Pours a golden brown, with a caramel-hoppy aroma. Flavor had bold notes of sweet, darker fruit, with a delicious hoppiness throughout. All flavors were rounded with some sweetness, with the more traditional bitter hop notes only showing through at the very end. A very well-made brew, beautiful balance and juicy fruit character.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottled. Poured perfecly clear amber with a dusting of white head and some spotty lacing. The aroma picked up juicy medium-skinned fruit and perfumey hoppage over a candy-like caramel backing. The flavor had caramel and fruity sweetness at the core (not as sweet as the nose) with sticky citrus, perfume, and spicier floral bitterness around.. moderate level of bitterness.. finished a little warm and spicy with sticky fruit sweetness hanging around. Medium-bodied on the palate with low carbonation.. long impression on the finish, but it was just OK.
