Thanks to jercraigs for this. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a big frothy white top. Aroma is citrus hops with some belgian yeast characteristics. Taste is citrus hop flavour and moderate bitterness. Small dryness of the palate from the yeast gives it the "belgian" characteristic.

cask @bent elbow - a medium oranhy-amber infiltered ale with a puffy off white cap. Medium bodied but a very robust english- styled IPA. Big mlts verge on sweet but are held in check by amle golding hops. Aroma and falvour feature a peach-like fruitness for the yeast and warm fermenting. Long wet finsh with a perfect balance. I’ve had this in several pubs and I’ve always enjoyed it. I hope GLB moves it into a year round draft offering.

Boutip (3971) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 25, 2013
Bottle: Poured a medium orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and piney hops is quite dominant with light floral undertones. Taste is a satisfying mix between some floral hoppy notes dominated by citrus and piney notes. Dry caramel malt is pretty discreet and finish is quite bitter. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Not sure I can pick-up the Belgian style in this IPA but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

TheJester (1458) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 19, 2013
650 mL bottle from the brewery. I love the style and I love the brewery, so my expectations are high. Hazy, rusty, orange with a small head. The head quickly fades to a ring, but laces nicely. The aroma is a little resiny; I prefer floral and/or citrus with this style, but maybe that’s just me. The flavour is dominated by the hop bitterness; I’d like to see a little more malt/yeast presence. Not bad though.

GuillaumeCL (287) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 3, 2013
Bottle form the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a bit of fine white head that dissipates quickly. Smell is floral hops, grassy hops, and some citrus, the "Belgian" part doesn’t really come through. Palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied with really strong carbonation. Taste is slightly sweet and fruity at first but then gets bitter quite quickly. The bitter flavour sticks with you quite a bit and lasts a while. Not bad, but missing more of a standard IPA than a Belgian IPA.

Sammy (7031) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 20, 2013
Pretty good IPA, had on draft at The Rhino. Cloudy yellow with 1/2" of retained foam. Above average mouthfeel. Good hop aroma. Smooth IPA flavour, bold orange citrus. Lots of lace lines.

DerWeg (1392) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 13, 2013
Juicy citrus hops balanced with juicy pale fruit, at least until the dryness fatigue sets in. A bit of pot, sulfur and cat pee in the playful hop aromas. Taste has apricots and dried lemon candy, into a dry grassy palate and finish. Dries out the palate because it becomes very leafy. Foggy pale fruit gold look.

solidfunk (1788) - Ontario, CANADA - JAN 9, 2013
Pours cloduy orange with medium lacing. Smells a little of lemon. Starts with some hops and ends pretty smoothly. Bitter finish late in coming - like a delayed effect. High carbonation. Not bad. On tap at Get Well.

Belgian IPA from 750 ml bottle. Aroma is a bit less hoppy than I’d expected. Taste had good sharp spicy bite and mild bitterness.

Johnsense (454) - - DEC 31, 2012
On tap at Bar hop. Hazy amber appearance with a finger of head. Aroma of citrus hops , very slight hint of yeast and pepper. Citrus hop bitterness up front that is far more balanced than the aroma suggested. Lemon zest, belgian yeast, a very slight spiciness. Medium body with lighter carbonation. Easy drinking.
