Tap -Volo, a huge whack of hops hits you with this aroma, it has a citrus/candy flavour with hops raging through it, very very enjoyable and I look forward to drinking many more!

Bu en fut (20 oz) au Black Tomato (Ottawa). Rousse simple, mince collet avec de la dentelle. Arome d’houblon sucré, un peu de pêches et une petite sensation amère. Goût bièn amère et agréable, houblon un peu sucré, légèrement floral. Un bon et surprenant IPA d’Ontario!

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.

On tap at C’est what? Copper liquid is topped with a frothy beige cap. The aroma is heavy citric hops(mostly grapefruit)with some pine, followed by bready, cookie dough and caramel. Taste is bright cirtus rind hops, fresh leafy greens and pine with some butterscotch and caramel sweetness. This is quite dry and chalky, and finishes bitter and and tasty. I wish it was available near me!

Draft at Volo at the suggestion of hogtownharry. Beautiful clear, medium amber with a beige head and good lacing. Nice balanced malt and hop aroma, light brown sugar and caramel notes, english style dusty, herbal hops. Sweet caramel maltiness up front, fading to a bold hoppiness, lots of floral and herbal dusty flavors. Medium body and gentle carbonation. My favorite of the Ontario IPA’s on this day.

(draught at Smokeless Joe) Hazy medium gold / light amber. Pine/citrus hops aroma. Lovely hops flavor with enough malt to balance; well on the way to imperial IPA territory.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at C’est What.
Appearance : Clear amber with small head.
Aroma : Piny and citrusy hops. Some malt.
Taste : Piny and citrusy with light buttery notes. Finish is quite bitter and a bit astringent. Light caramel too.
Overall : Nice hops but the light buttery notes bugged me quite a bit. It’s probably a problem with this keg only so I won’t be too hard.
