Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a slightly hazy brown color with a lg creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus and earthy hops with pear-like fruit notes and a nutty finish. The taste is caramel malts and very hoppy, including spicy, piney and earthy notes, and a lingering hop burn. Medium bodied.

On tap at Vices et Versas. Well done IPA. Nice malt flavour, good water and a very good hop balance even though the beer is quite bitter.

Aroma of pine and grapefruit typical from these brews but this one seems watery. Tastes green leaves, citrus and very hoppy but it clashes. This was very unbalanced to me.

On tap at Succursale, Montréal. Dark copper colour with an enduring thin layer of foam. Fruity aroma and a refreshing taste finishing with a bitter hint of mature or rotten fruit. Nice but more similar to most québécois IPA:s than those of the american west

On tap at brewpub..
Appearance : Hazy amber with a small head.
Aroma : Hoppy with light malt and some fruits. Leafy hops with sugary notes. A bit muted overall. Quite fruity (Frontenac malt maybe...)
Taste : Sharp bitterness. Resinous and leafy hops. A bit sugary too. Light caramel on the finish.
Overall : Veru sharp bitterness. Nice fresh hops. Nice sugar too. Nice surprise !

Taster at Bieres et Saveurs Chambly 2010.The color is a hazy amber with a thin beige head. The aroma is of hops and citrus fruits. The taste also of hops and citrus fruits and sweet malt. This beer lives a pleasant taste in your mouth.

In short: A basic fruity and floral IPA.
How: Tap at Chambly beer Fest 2010
The look: Clear golden body topped by a small off-white head
In long: The not-so-hoppy nose has some fruity hops with some scented floral notes. Malt backbone has a some cookies, barley candy, a touch of honey, a touch of caramel. Fruity notes of cantaloupe, citrus fruits and a bit of grapefruits. Also some floral notes. Hopping feels very “juicy”. Finish has a resinous bitterness of medium intensity. Basically this beer was just an ok IPA, nothing special. I was curious to try this west-coast IPA attempt by this far-away quebec brewpub. So I decided to grab the bull by the horns. Literally. Now what?

Verre de 12 oz, d’un cask au Benelux lors de la soirée des Grands Crus. Arômes fruités et résineux de houblons américains, touche de sucre d’orge. Robe orangée et légèrement trouble, légère mousse et effervescence moyenne. En bouche, le houblon fruité et juteux est relativement aromatique, montrant de belles notes de pamplemousse et de résine. Le malt, légèrement sucré, possède un caractère de sucre d’orge. Finale moyennement amère. Une IPA américaine tout à fait dans le style.

A golden amber IPA with a thin light moka head. A herbaceous hops aroma with smooth malts, alcohol warmth. In mouth, a good biscuitty malt with nice floral hops, grapefruits notes, warming alcohol. Classic. On tap at Mondiale de la Bière 2010.
