3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Volo. Coppery color with hoppy aroma. Bitter predominates, but doesn’y overpower the other taste elements, which include malt and citrus.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pint at volo. Orange/copper colour with a thick off white head. Aromas of floral hops, grapefruit and some malt. A hoppy citrus taste with notes of caramel. Smooth tasting with a nice bitter finish. A good local IPA.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Served with a bright copper body, weakly headed in white. Citrusy PNWs in the aroma without a lot of "oomph". Dry rye bitters become more pronounced late. Flavor shows more bitterness with rindy citrus and a pepper bite followed by a sweet malted wash, then finishing long with more pepper. Dry with a long-lingering aftertaste. A nice IPA, but a few steps below some of your favorites.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Smokeless Joe’s, Toronto. Deep gold, bordering on brown; zero head retention. Woody hop-forward aroma packs a good punch, seconded by accents of malt, caramel and berry fruit. Wonderful big-hop flavour provides full-on bitterness throughout, with a nice fruity blackberry infusion and smooth caramel ice cream palate. An excellent big-flavoured beer that has enough complexity to be more than a one-riff wonder.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2007 again nice amber orange colour, First time i had it it was amazing, wonderful hop aroma, nice citrus flavour and some maltiness, but as it has evolved it has lost its nice citrus aroma and tends to be more bitter and malty, hope it goes back to the original recipe.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Smells sweet and soap/perfume-like. Odd. Minimal white head. Pale colour. Hoppy (as one would expect). Slightly bitter aftertaste. Generally not very appealing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2007 [224-20060304] Tap @ Volo (Toronto, ON). Hoppy lemon citrus aroma. Clear, light orange red body with some small centralized bubbles and a medium-lasting off-white creamy head. Taste has a very bitter hoppy bite with lemon and light astringency. Medium palate, fairly bitter after. Blending is OK but not fond of afterbite. (7/3/6/3/13) 3.2
[720B-20070928] Tap @ C’est What 2007 FOSB (Toronto, ON). Apricot wheat fruit aroma has funky yeast. Slightly hazy, orange amber body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Alcoholic fruit wheat yeast flavour, some grapefruit hops. Medium body, very bitter. Nice bitterness, weird yeast qualities. (6/3/7/3/13) 3.2
