355ml bottle. Pours a clear, bright and bubbly golden amber with a half-finger white head. The head soon reduces to a fine layer of scattered carbonation with a very loose and irregular lacing. Grapefruit and an upfront woody, pine note. It has some toffee malt sweetness, but it’s almost totally eclipsed by this dominant oily hop overtone. Grapefruit hops, lemon, orange peel flavours before progressing to a delicate bready, toasty malt undertone. The finish is medium in length, the body’s medium also with average carbonation.

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle, pours a hazy copper with a thick white head with lots of bubbles that produce nice lacing. Aroma, Lots of hops hints of appricots and pine and other subtle citrus. Taste, Sweet fruit creamy with floral accents then big hop bite that tingles the tongue. Nice dry finish with the hops that linger and linger. I like it a lot

Dec 16, 2009 12oz - Looked the part: brassy color with thick white head ina wetted glass. Nice lace too. The palate was there, but it stopped earlier than I liked. Enough malt to support the hops without turning swwet but really stopped short of an IPA. The bottled date was 24 Jul 09, and that may have soemthing to do with it.

Nov 25, 2009 This IPA poured a cloudy, light orange colour witha nice big, bright white head. Scents include juniper, grass, citrus and floral scents. Very hoppy ale. First sip was very flavourful with flavours of grapefruit, lemon, orange and grass. Finish is bitter and a real thirst burner. Hopp heads dream.

Nov 20, 2009 Pretty decent IPA, only complaint is that it had too much of a "wood" flavor. Maybe that was the point.

Nov 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber/orange color with a small head that goes away fast. Has a citrus, floral and malty aroma. Hoppy flavor with some pine and citrus... but not much depth. Mild bitter aftertaste. Overall a good IPA for the price.
