| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Smooth and well-balanced IPA with citrus notes, similar to the 90 Minute IPA but less intense. Pours a golden brown color with medium head. Nice piney aroma. Medium bodied with a really smooth palate. EatsTacos (13), , Yukon, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 28, 2009 Pours a clear light copper with a one finger head. Great lacing on the glass.
The aroma is pure grapefruit. Citrus hops, orangepeel.
The taste is sweet and malty at first. This turns into a refreshing bitter citrus hop character. Orange, grapefruit floral hops. The finish is bitter and the aftertaste is also bitter. Good depth of flavour. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the carbonation is medium soft. Im happy its not too carbonated.
Highly drinkable, and more balanced than I expected. JustinFromAL (114), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a pale gold with minimal white head that laces well. Very piney on the nose. Taste is bright crisp pine with overflowing citrus. To be honest IPA’s like this aren’t my favorite style but it’s still obvious that a lot of care was put into this beer. msante79 (814), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA

Pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is hops with lots of citrus and some malt. Flavor is hops, citurs and some sweet malts. Good sessionable IPA. I like this better than the 90 minute.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 23, 2009 I don’t know how I have managed to go this long without rating this beer but here it goes. Pours a light amber gold with a tall, chunky, light tan that has good retention. Aroma is citrus and pine hops, caramel, a hint of nutty toffee, a hint of straw and some toast. Flavor is pine and caramel coated toffee ups front, toasted nuts, and toasted grain with citrus coming into swing in the middle, the finish is grapefruit, a hint of mellow pine, burnt sugar, and white bread toast. Body is sweet with a medium dry finish that really makes it perfect for any occasion. Django (16), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 21, 2009 Bouteille de 12 onces achetée à la LCBO Rideau/King Edwards un mois plus tôt. Arômes de pamplemousse et de houblon bien définis. Je remarque aussi un très léger fumé comme dans tourbe fumée. Il est peut-être question du houblon floral ici. Le liquide est blond translucide d’une clarté impeccable. Un léger col de mousse persiste. En bouche, c’est très rond et huileux. Le houblon mord la langue et on ressent son impact du début à la fin. Pas de subtilité dans cette bière, seulement de l’amertume de houblon qui réussit quand même à désaltérer. Bière agréable en compagnie d’une bonne pizza.
