Jul 14, 2008 orange amber, very nice hoppy aroma, citrus oil and resin. The palate is really quite sticky with some sickly-sweet malt leading into a generous hop presence, all resin and bitter grapefruit. This became more of an effort to drink as time went on, mostly due to the syruoy malt structure.

Jul 6, 2008 Amber with a white head. Aroma is mildly hoppy with caramel, and malt. Taste is hoppy with a dry grapefruit and light alcohol.

Jan 25, 2008 Bottle (650ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear orange-copper with a large lasting fluffy off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malt, citrus & resin hops, fruit, light spices and some yeastiness too. Flavour’s pretty bitter, with lots of citrus & resin hops along with some fruit, caramel malt and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very good, another quality Canadian IPA and once again not from Ontario.

Jan 24, 2008 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, my bottle via trade with mgermani. Slightly hazy light copper pour, solid lasting frothy off-white head. Lovely IPA aroma - sweet toasted malt, citrus/resin hop bitterness and a hint of yeasty lactose. The taste is slightly burnt, high acidity and reminded me a bit of crushed dead leaves. Average body, mild carbonation, very astringent and a pretty long bitter finish. Very good indeed.
