Pours a nice amber colour with a slightly sticky white head. The aroma has some tropical fruit, and citrus elements, bit of floral notes, then some lighter hints of caramel, maybe some vanilla. The flavour has a pretty malty base, accented by light citrusy notes, nothing very complex, but flavorful and easy drinking. I’d buy it in a sixer for like 12 - 13 bucks, but it’s too much money for what it is in a 750ml.

Bouteille 750ml. De couleur ambrée foncée et claire. Nez malté de caramel aux notes rôties, fruité (agrumes), de houblon herbeux aux notes citriques, résineuses et florales ainsi que des notes de noix. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse. Léger goût fruité (agrumes, faibles traces de mangues) accompagné d’une moyenne amertume de houblon légèrement floral et citrique (une amertume présente en arrière-goût toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel aux notes rôties, un léger goût de biscuits et des notes de toffee puis en finale l’amertume reprend légèrement de l’ampleur en se montrant plus herbeuse et très légèrement résineuse et des notes de noix asséchantes viennent fermer la marche. Post-goût moyen-long et aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes citriques et très faiblement résineuses.

750ml bottle, dark amber color, with a bubbly beige head, mild toasted, caramel, pale malt nose, with some toffee, faint weak floral lemon, orange citrus, leafy hop accents in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a soft toasted, caramel, biscuity, pale malty, light flowery leafy, grassy, ceday hoppy character with a toffeeish, faint lemon peel, minty, nutty undertone, leading towards a mild toasty maltiness, toffee, light lingering leafy, citrus hop bitterness finish. Very weak ipa! not at his best

October 6, 2012 ; 6% abv, 750 mL bottle, BBD Oct 29/12; rock glass Citrus hops dominate. Pours a caramel colour with a nice tan head. Good looking beer. Balanced caramel malts with grapefruit citrus hops. Resin finish is lingering. A little thin in the body but overall, clean character. Highly drinkable, which isn’t a great thing for an IPA (I think). Resin bitterness is a bit too powerful.

A: sweet citrus, wonderful tropical! Canned Pineapple, mango, awesome T: malty low in caramel, sweet soft bitterness fades, odd. Better. herb. Drank at silver tip falls drunkfest

Sampled at brewery. Amber with a light tan head. Some resin, mild citrus, sweet malts. Moderate carbonation and body, some grapefruit, little too sweet on the palate without enough bitterness or dryness.

750ml bottle. Pours a reddish amber colour (with tiny floaters), with a minimal beige head. Aroma is on the resinous side of things, with grapefruit, faint tropical fruit, vanilla, and black pepper. As for taste, there are some pleasant tropical fruit notes, with a faint taste that makes me think raisins, some woody straw notes, and some citrus bitterness in the finish. A fine, thin bodied, easy drinking IPA, but definitely overpriced for what it is.

Big brown wine-looking bottle that does not look like other LB brews. Pours a deep amber colour with a big creamy, off-white head that goes down slow and leaves thick lace. Big hoppy nose with the grapefruit predominant and notes of caramel malt and soap (after breathing). Very smooth velvety texture. The caramel malt comes out more in the taste though. Mild bitterness in the finish and slightly dry. An IPA that is just a tad hoppier than average, but because of this, goes down smoothly and for those who like the caramel malt and its mild sweetness.

September 22, 2012 - The Golden Tap Awards at Beer Bistro. Bottle sample. Bright clear refractive coppery amber with a smallish foamy beige head. Smells like a sweet somewhat resiny APA - some alcohol, leafy (7-). Taste follows, but almost cloyingly sweet and a weird lactic tartness that came out of nowhere - floral, not much resin. Slick, average body, decent carbonation, finishes sweet and tingly, a little generic and metallic in the aftertaste.

750ml bottle from the LCBO in Huntsville Pours a really nice deep cooper with a good sized frothy head The aroma is a little subdued for the style but still a nice hoppy aroma It is a very smooth good tasting IPA Overall a nice IPA but it is overpriced for what you get
