Dark copper/orange with a thick offwhite head. Some malt sweetness on the nose combined with resiny hops and an earthy, tannic element. The taste is predominantly peppery hops with some latent malt sweetness and a pleasant earthiness. The finish is citrusy and somewhat dry.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2005 re-rate. We complain about the lack of hops here with our Ontario micro’s but here is a great example, and it is not a gimmick either. Wonderful hops in aroma, fruity. Some malt as well. Deep orange colour with a fluffy white head. Mouthfeel is a little thin and maybe a tad over carbonated, but there is a nice malt sweetness and caramel taste to back it up and a nice balanced dose of hop bitterness that lingers. A great balanced example of the style, well done guys.

I did find some flavour in this brew, but had to ignore the metalic undercurrent. The flavour that needs to be brought out is a malty balance. Back to the lab, boys.

Amber coloured body with orange highlights and a small off-white head. Aroma of pale malt and some american hops with little else. Light to Medium-bodied; Malty flavour with a nice hoppiness with floral qualities. Overall, a decent apa from canada! I got this pint on draught at a small pub in Toronto, Ontario and not in that stubby bottle pictured! I sampled this one on 09-April-2004 with my good friend Jon (JONR888710).

Orange/amber colour with a thick frothy and rocky tan coloured head. Earthy, grapefruit, and caramel aroma. Initial light caramel sweetness followed by a growing grapefuit and floral bitterness. Full bodied, almost chewy, but very drinkable and refreshing. Very nice.

A real treat. Pours a ruby brown with a small short-lived head. First impression is of chocolate but then some hoppiness becomes apparent. Flavour lingers in the mouth with the sweetness receding into mild bitterness. A complex and wonderful ale. Certainly one of my local favourites.

Nice copper color, average cream color head, good lacing. Complex and well balanced aroma and flavor of earthy malts and herbal/piney hops. A little bit of citrus as well. Some lingering bitterness. Medium body, smooth. Nothing all that out of the ordinary, but very well done.

Nice hop combination in the aroma, good taste, nice bite to 'er. Seems a bit dark for an APA. Enjoyable beer nonetheless.

Nice amber body with medium sized white head. Hoppy and sweet aroma. Taste is bitter and hoppy. Very refreshing. Better than I thought it would be.

Golden brown color with a white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Earthy hop aroma. Nicely balanced, with a piney bitter finish. Better than I expected.
