Jul 7, 2009 Updated: Jul 8, 2009Good hopped aroma emitted from the clear, amber body, capped by a creamy white head. Nice bitter taste with an equally sharp mouth. Best Swan’s beer I’ve had.

Mar 16, 2005 (Draught) Am I drinking the same beer as Joe? I really enjoyed this beer... even after a couple of days in Seattle. Creamy, thin, white head with a dark orange body. Very good cascade, chinook and centennial hop nose. Sweet with bitter tones. Flavour is full-bodied, sweet and even tart. A euphoric drive of the West Coast trail. One of the finest example of a Northwest IPA I’ve tasted in Canada.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle shared with tupalev, jerc & mabel - my bottle. Clear orange-amber with a small head. Very nice aroma - rich and fruity and hoppy, with serious grapefruit and resin notes. Medium body. Flavour is aggressive, but not obnoxious, with lots of grapefruit/citric hoppiness, and a mellow malt backbone.

Apr 27, 2005 Updated: Aug 16, 2005Very nice copper hue with off white creamy head. Very respectable lacing. Can definitely smells strong hops (I had a cold so I"m pretty much limited to that.) Hoppy flavour with a sour finish. very full flavour, great mouthfeel. Was impressed with it’s drinkability.

Jul 21, 2007 Faint malt aroma - some hops in there too. Pours a lovely amber with a fantastic jagged-peak head with great lacing. Northwestern hops about - enough thick maltiness to balance. Lingering warm finish - the 6.8% is apparent; thjs is not a session beer! So-so carbonation and a bit thin and dry on the finish. Overall, one of the better IPA’s I’ve had from the Island. Nicely done!

Sep 10, 2007 Sampled at the Hotel. Best of the 6. Thick glove of a head. Strong lacing. Dark amber beer. Friendly familiar hop nose. Mostly woody scent. Strong hop body. Enjoyable bitterness. Not rough, just strong. Tinge of sweet alcohol in the finish.

Dec 5, 2007 Bottle shared with GregClow, Jerc, and Mabel,, courtesy of Greg. Dark orange, medium foamy white head - very foamy. Sticky sweet hops in pleasing aroma. Nice taste - lots of hops (which makes it stand out tonight), nice malt body. Fruity. Very good, very enjoyable, and very drinkable. Nice job Swans/Buckerfield.
