Odd drinking an American IPA hailing from Canada, but well done. Pours a rich mahogany with a beige head rich and fluffy with plenty of lace. Nose is bitter and salty with caramel notes. medium bodied on the tongue with initial bready yeast, salted peanut, and medium caramel malt. Finishes with a burly bitter and burnt citrus hop. Well balanced brew.

Det är svårt att inte ha höga förväntningar, flera av ölen från samma bryggeri har imponerat stort på mig tidigare. Ölen är mycket väl avvägd i avseende för smak, kropp, plats i gommen och beska. Smaken präglas främst av humle med toner av citrus, grapefrukt och lakrits och den är mycket tilltalande och besk. Slutsats: riktigt bra men jag hade nog hoppats på ännu mer, fånigt men sant.

Dark redish colour with a small thick head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and some malts. Also something sweet caramellish smell. Definitely much hop in the taste and a pre-taste of something like caramell/toffee and a dry after-taste. Also some raisin or dried fruits and some hoppy bitterness.

Bouteille 341mL. Nez leger de cassonade legerement houblonne. Bouche equilibree de malt et de houblon d’amertume moyenne. Manque un peu de matiere mais une bonne biere de tous les jours.

Deep hazy red-amber. Herbal, skunky pine hops with a solid malt aroma of caramel and sweet fruit. Flavor is sweet caramel malt and moderate pine bitterness. Finishes pretty dry from the hop content with mostly sweet caramel residual and some mild bitterness. Just ok.

Bottle. Pours murky brown, kind of amber-ish; off white head that caps out rather quickly. Smell is awfully malty/sugary, smells like a headache... hops are subdued for an IPA. Maybe some pine, definitely some spice. Taste is malt, caramel, roasted grain, light pine, grating citrus rind, bitter but balanced. The body is medium-full, with a very nice mouthfeel thanks to the carbonation. Nice deep sweet finish. Because of the malt bill it seems kind of like an eastern IIPA, but the hops arent as extreme as in a Double. I like it, but its kind of like a black sheep for the style its marketed as.

The aroma is fruit, bread. The appearance is a deep amber, translucent, white head. The flavor is caramel, bread, pine. The finish i sharp pine hops. Medium in body. Very good.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, but persistent head. Smells a bit sweet, yeast, citrus and hops. Full flavour with moderate hoppiness and lingering aftertastes. Mild carbonation. Overall very nice.

Bottle: Thanks to Pushkinwow! An orange pour leaves a hazy and really dark orange to almost brown colored beer with a vast medium creamy head. Seems to stay on the top of the beer for a while. The aroma is that of hops, citrus, pine and malts with hints of caramel, honey, herbs and a slight hint of sweets. Taste is an ok mix of hops (bitter, citrus, light pine hint of peach and grapes) and malts and (sticky) barleys (honey, some caramel). Next to that there are some hints of herbs, yeast and light spicy. The bitterness grows more bitter towards the aftertaste. Nice hoppy (bitter, fruity) light malty aftertaste. Low carbo, creamy soft yet light tingly mouthfeel (overpowered by the creamy feel again), medium to full body and a creamy thicker texture. Nice beer: well balanced, not harsh at all, soft, smooth and creamy, and nice bitter.

On tap at beer bistro. Could be my new favourite beer. Wish I could get this winnipeg ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
