341mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours orange with a white head, leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma of soapy, citrussy hops. Strong dry malt backbone, plenty of hops over top. Good mouthfeel. Tends to change a bit between batches, some times a bit hoppier than others.

Aug 13, 2008 341ml. bottle bought at the L.C.B.O. in Ottawa. The color is copper with a thin beige head. The taste and aroma is of malt. Also in the taste are some fruits and hops that give it a bitter finish.

Aug 12, 2008 Pours a ruby red colour with a light brown head, that actually lasts for a little while. Aroma is pretty much citrusy hops. Flavour is sort of bitter and a little bit stale sort of. It’s fairly malty in the mouth, and finishes up a bit citrusy. There’s some spicyness in it, but not an excessive amount. It’s sort of nice at first, fairly hoppy, and sweet malts backing that up, but then it sort of finishes like old cardboard. Mouthfeel is slightly thick, but not creamy by any means. Carbonation is a bit high for the style I think.

Aug 12, 2008 341 mL bottle. Deep copper colour, though no head to speak of. Spicy malt aroma, with a hint of nut. Malts and nuts dominate the taste, with a hint of hops, caramel, and spice. Pretty good, though a little disappointing in the finish.
