(Draught) Sampled at the Raven Pub in Deep Cove, BC. Large foam cloud atop a mildly caarbonated golden body. Nose of piney and English hops. Flavour is very piney with underlying Brit hoppiness and malt. Much better than I’d anticipated...

BeerMountie (107) - Bonavista, Newfoundland, CANADA - FEB 2, 2006
Thanks Oakes for sending me this one. Amber colour with a thin white head. Some malt and hops in the taste. It is a nice IPA but pales in comparison to the Tree Hophead I had before this one.
