Lubiere (6979) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 6, 2012
A hazed dark amber IPA with a thick frothy and lacing mocha head. In aroma, strange complex mix of caramel malt and catty pungent hops, with a touch of sulfur. In mouth, a smooth sweet caramel malt with nice herbal and resinous hops, smooth lingering bitterness, quite nice. BB 22/10/10. Still good! Bieropholie imports.

Hazy reddish orange pour with foamy 2 finger head.Was on a discount shopping cart.Seemed skunky at first but that is changing. Aroma seems meaty/B-vitamins probably due to poor storage.Hop is subtle with a malty breadiness,there is some dankness as it warms.Im gonna say aroma is herbal/floral so far,i smell malt more it seems so its had its time probably.4$ a bottle is not much of a discount for a poorly stored beer. Taste had a little belgian at first but that faded quickly,its full bodied with a dark carmel roasty dry malt with a bit of raison sweet hop and a spicy linger of a bitter.The bittering isnt too strong but its more of spicy bitter.Im shure i would think different if i had a fresher better stored bottle,how unfortunate.

On tap. Half-hazy amber color. Nice, thick off-white head. Light carbonation, creamy drier texture. Great, piney resiny herbal flavor. Light bitter sweet taste, some spice. Respectable brew, single-hops are always interesting

Powertrip (839) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - APR 5, 2012
Single bottle purchased from Kensington Wine Market in Calgary, AB on 03/01/2012. Colour: Medium oragne with hearty white fluffy head. Nose: Citrus appears first but then malty bread becomes dominant. Ridiculously soft toffee accents it. Taste: Medium-high sweet, medium bitter, light sour. Chewy malt everywhere. The hops are not overpowering but they are sharp and to the the point. Some bitter vegetable...like celery...appears. Quality.

ComradeK (525) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - APR 2, 2012
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy medium chestnut, with a large off-white head, which lasts fairly well, and leaves good lacing. Citrus hop notes abound on the nose, with lemon juice and zest, orange rind and a touch of lime backed by faint caramel malt. Lemon juice is prominent up front, although it softens a little, revealing mandarin orange and orange zest flavours. There is just enough caramel malt presence to balance it out. A touch of sweetness and a refreshing lime flavour create a very clean finish. The citrus characters of Simcoe hops really do come through in this beer, to create a razor-sharp and exceedingly refreshing beer. Another classic single variety IPA from Mikkeller.
