mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange-coloured murky body with a small white covering. The aroma is farily hoppy with orangey biscuit.

DuffMan (1843), Calgary (back from 1yr in AUS), Alberta, Canada Apr 8, 2008 Bright orange, slightly hazy, clingy foamy head. Fresh citrus peel aroma. Medium mouthfeel, background sweet malt balances the fresh hop character, finish is a little woody. Very nice indeed! mabel (1246), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 21, 2008 [1048-20080112] Bottle (w/ garthicus, HogTownHarry, jerc, mds, Radek Kliber). Hoppy citrus aroma has a bit of juicy grainy malt. Hazy, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Light bitter citrus lemon pip/peel flavour has a bit of leafy plant notes. Medium body is bitter throughout. Nice bitter brew. HogTownHarry (3129), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jan 18, 2008 Bottle (1000ml - swing-top). Shared with garthicus, jerc, mabel, Radek Kliber and mds - courtesy of jerc?. Cloudy light amber colour, small white head. Light aroma of sharp citrus zest, a some soapy hops, quite dry. Dry, generic hop-bitter taste, slightly stale, mildly acidic, and it builds a decent peppery then grapefruit pith bitterness in the long finish. Average body, ultimately quite astringent mouthfeel - in the end a pretty solid IPA ... just give it some time. Radek Kliber (3274), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 17, 2008 Bottle 1000ml
