<!-- b -->Cask.<!-- /b --> Cloudy amber w/ small ring of of tan foam. Fresh, citrusy, piny hop aroma w/ notes of caramel & toffee. Thick, chewy feel. Big hoppy flavour but well-supported w/ lots of sweet malt. Finish was bitter & dry, but also mildly green & leafy w/ notes of tobacco & tea.

The best thing to come from Pickering since Mr Burns. After Flying Monkeys, I think this is the best IPA to be found in Ontario. The flavour packs a lot more punch than the aroma.

On tap at beer bistro. Nice tasting ipa. Slight malt flavour Would definitely have this again ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: NOV 12, 2011 a sexy ipa. i mean all ipas that are well made are sexy, but in the bigger picture not every golden blond colored beer can look like molson and still taste great. like a badly dressed model, really...

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.

Bottle in Toronto. Good clean, crisp beer with fresh hops and a good malt balance as well.

Draught at Beerbistro, Toronto, ON.
Clear amber colour with small white head. Dark fruity hoppiness in aroma. Grainy malty flavour with bitter fruity hops. It’s not that bitter after all. Best in this brew is the tap handle.

On tap at Bierbistro. Second try at this one because I thought I must have had a bad one my first time. No better the second time so I don’t understand the high ratings. Dark amber with a thin head. Some citrus, but overall lacks aroma. Thin in the mouth. Sub-par carbonation. Just not as good as other IPA’s out there.

April 24, 2011; Draught in pint glass at Volo Sort of missed out on the aroma. When it got to me, there was still plenty of lychee and grapefruit in the nose. A toffee-copper coloured ale with no head and very light lace. Citrus and lychee from hops with a mild malt. There’s a little something else in the hops which I can’t identify. A well blended brew. Refreshing hops but the resin bitterness is a little too strong in the aftertaste for me.

Beer is ok at best, I would prob have it again, it tastes of light and watery hops, I would like to see more hops in this one

On tap at C’est What. red in colour.aromas are fruity hops, good big hoppy profile and good carbonation. More citrus goodness on the palate. very juicy candy cane quality. excellent stuff.
