4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Bottle into tulip. Pours a slightly cloudy golden orange color with a very foamy head that lingers a long time. Great aroma of citrus, pine, barrel notes, vanilla, toast, maple, and grass. Taste is rich in flavor. Hops hit immediately along with toasted malt. Barrel notes, vanilla, pine in the middle. Finish is long, mostly toasted malt, grass, hints of maple and spiciness. Medium body, a bit foamy in the mouthfeel, and that’s about the only knock on this. Really great IPA. Better than 60, 90 and 120 minute. Try this if you can.

Burnished gold color out of the bottle with a fluffy white head. Bright green hop nose with some citrus notes. Caramel and toffee sweetness with bright orange zest and tropical fruit flavors. Some hop Jolly Rancher character (I wish they made a hop flavored Jolly Rancher). This is a very quaffable, hoppy beer.

Thanks Bullwinkle. What a fun beer. Brilliant use of the maple syrup as a foil for the legendary DFH hoppiness. Way too easy to drink.

Pours a cloudy golden-yellow, with massive creamy white head. Aroma is primarily floral hops, with some earthiness underneath. Flavor is marked by pine-hop bitterness and just a touch of sweetness underneath. Beer is very dry and finish is quite astringently bitter.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Cloudy orange appearance with a white tight head. The aroma has spicy hop notes with some maple syrup coming through. The colour of the beer doesn’t look like it has used any roasted malt but it does smell slightly roasty. Taste has some slight citrus notes, slightly earthy and woody. Sweet maple syrup come’s through. Quite heavy on the toffee for an IPA. IPA or not this is great beer!

750mL bottle pours with a clear deep gold body supporting a tall light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a good bit of tangelo to orange to grapefruit citrusy hops with a light degree of pine along the edges. Beneath the hop aromatics I get a mild almost vanilla like sweetness. The taste has bitter and modestly resiny pine hops along with ribbons of citrus hop flavor that rolls into some bitter citrus to midway and into the finish.
