Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

OK..the "best before" date reads 07/07/09, so can I really give it a proper rating? Anyhow. The aroma is grapefruit, piney hops. Flavor is a lot of the same, basically very common of the west coast stye. It did seem a little lifeless, I would geuss thats from being past its time. Ive really gotta start looking at the bottles more carefully :(

Pours a hazy straw yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is hop with summer fruit and wheat. Taste is a tangy hop with citrusy fruit. Not much bitterness. Slightly more hoppy Yellow Snow.

Bottle. Pours a light gold with a small bubbly white head. Softly hopped aromatics, with a lemony note. Flavor is beautiful, with lemon-citric hop bitterness, with a nice flaky biscuit backbone. Loverly.

Bottle from LCBO. Appearance: Light yellow, some decent carbonation with a small but lasting white head. Aroma: Mildly hoppy with a little summer fruit, a little grass and lime. Flavour: Very bitter at first making way for malt, cherry, a good deal of hops too, it has a long bitter hop finish. Not bad at all. Kind of tastes like a hopped up Tankhouse.

IPA molto gradevole... forse troppo filtrata... al naso si sente l’utilizzo del nelson sauvin e in bocca è piuttosto maltata oltre ke amara

Clear, yellow, sparkling beer with moderate, white head; aroma is plenty of citruslike fruitness and floral hops, most refreshing; thin mouthfeel, medium carbonation; refreshing flavor of citrus and plenty of bitter hops. A nice IPA, but i´m not sure if "nice" is just what the brewers had wanted to make.

Bottle. Like the labelling. Bubbly hazy gold-orange. Sharp fruity notes and hops in the aroma. Fairly strong grassy hops in the aroma. Very prominent grapefruit and citrus notes. Kind of bland, mildly bitter finish. Not a plain IPA, though the extremities it does have aren’t ideal for me. Pretty good overall.

330ml from LCBO. I found this one very similar to the Rogue Yellow snow IPA. Pours very light yellow with a small white head. Fruity hop aroma and taste is big on grapefruit. Body a bit thin for the flavours.

Pours dark straw with a slight bit of haze, bit of white lacing. Grapefruit and peachy aromas, taste is mainly resin and pith with only a bit of pale malt to build the body. Long dry finish.
