UPDATED: OCT 10, 2009 Received as a 21st birthday gift. Delicious citrus aroma. Pours a dark golden color, with a relatively short head. A bit sweeter than most IPA’s. Will probably buy another 6-pack soon.

Bottle from nrbw23. Thanks! Pours orangish with a medium lived head. Smell is very fresh and hoppy with lots citrus and earthiness. Very nice smell. Taste is nicely crisp, hoppy and drinkable. Medium body and normal carbonation. Surprisingly good. Would defintely have more often, if available.

DrHomolka rocks! Pourss an orangish color with a small white head. Aroma is full of white grapefruit, some malt and pine hops notes. Flavor is really, really good. Citrus and resin hops flourish in this beer without being overly bitter and harsh. There is a decent malt bill but the hops are the star in this one. Nice.

2009 Bottle - Thanks DrHomolka! - Pours ruddy orange with a small white head...aroma is massive hop florals, grapefruit, pine resin, beautiful nose...flavour is similar, hop bitters, bit of dough, fruity but not sweet...not much malt to speak of...good flavour that’s just asking for a bit more malt...otherwise very enjoyable!!!

Herbal aroma and taste. Light orange color. Bitter aftertaste lingers. Good IPA!

I had this beer from a cask and I thought it was delicious. Refreshing with a good amount of hops. Nothing spectacular in the way of an IPA, a pretty traditional flavor.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, burnt orange color with a small soapy white head. Doesn’t look very carbonated though that’s fine by me. Aroma is a fresh blast of tropical fruit. Huge citrus character. Mango, orange, resin. Centennial hops with a decent malt background. Slightly biscuity. Tropical fruits abound in the flavor. Intense peach and pineapple. Bitterness is moderate to low for the style. A fruitiness from the hops is present though the beer is not sweet. A slghtly bitter, drying finish. This is a solid IPA.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep amber, no head. Aroma is of piney and citrusy hops (lots of them). This beer smells divine. Flavor has a touch of malt up front, but a whole lot of hop beyond that. Flavor is good, but there is some other note there that’s a bit off. Overall, pretty good beer. I always considered CBC to be mediocre, but this one is making me re-evaluate that.
