COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This unique dark India Pale Ale is our tribute to the firefighters and emergency workers who helped fight the 2009 Okanagan Valley Fires. An intricate and exciting blending of hops, coupled with a rich malt foundation produces this fine ale with a complex character, dark colour and lingering hop finish. Fierce hop. Gentle Bite.

gramity (601) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 7, 2012
Deep murky brown pour unleashes a foamy and rocky beige cap. Lots of sticky lace here. Nose of citrus, pine, and floral hops. Lots of roasty malts, charred wood, some spice. Tastes of fresh citric hops, roasty malts again, dark bread, woody and smokey. Nice hop bite in the finish is balancing with sweet and toasty malts. An interesting IPA. I really liked the tough of burnt - was just enough to make the name and label seem really appropriate. Although I am wondering if it is the last thing the firefighters it pays tribute to would like to taste in their beer haha

turboespresso (218) - Port Moody, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 1, 2012
Bottle. Dark brown with nice thick beige head. Some lace. Aroma is roasty & hoppy but but the hoppiness fades fast. Taste is bitter chocolate with a hint of citric hops. It kind of gels, kind of clashes. Nice palate.

RumRunner101 (95) - British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 8, 2012
Pours dark brown with a thick beige head. Pleasant aroma - citrus hop qualities mix with sweet fruits. Body has a nice balance with the dominating hops coming out on the end leaving a lingering grapefruit, slightly acidic finish. Good.

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 17, 2011
Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear orangey brown with a dense and frothy off-white head leaving a neat rim of lacework. Sweet roasty nose with a little yeast. Medium body, a little sweet roast, dark fruits, some ashes and a very bitter - if very unrefined - finish. Poor example of the style. 170611
