Pretty strong for an APA, but I like it. Very unique hop profile, spicy, but with a very short clean finish. This makes it quite drinkable. Hops are certainly well established, but it has the body it back it up. Very well done.

Jul 11, 2008 Off white head on orange tinted amber body. Aroma is malts, caramel, grains and some fruity hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malts with a hoppy, dry, slightly soapy finish. Nice beer...one of the best at The Beer Store in Ontario.

Jul 4, 2008 Via trade with matt7215. Thanks! A pretty standard APA. Aroma was all caramel malt. Pour was a decent dark amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was nice and malty in the front with a grassy hops aftertaste in the back that is very light and not bitter at all. This is a good beer, just not breaking any new ground.

Jun 22, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. This is their flagship beer I am told. Pours dark copper with a medium off-white head. Has a nice mild pine tree aroma. Big hoppy grapefruit and cedar shake flavors with lots of roastedness on the tongue. This is a seriously solid brewpub pale ale. Not excessive, but solid in all its profiles.

does not count  Jun 20, 2008 A solid choice from an Ontario craft brewery. Not overly malty in flavour, but enough body to hold up to the hops. A bit of spiciness from the hops, not an American flavour. Colour is a bit darker than you might expect from tasting it; it’s not heavy. A nice pint with hop flavour, something that can be hard to find in Ontario.
