4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
355 mL bottle from the LCBO (Bank and Walkley, Ottawa). Poured a clear amber, with minimal head. Initial aroma was of fruit and pine. I was expecting a blast of hops, but instead it was quite mild. Nice pine and citrus hops, but not as bitter as I was hoping. Still, a pleasant beer with a solid malt backbone. The malt is warm and doughy, all in all a great beer and very drinkable!

355 ml bottle (from a 4 pac) purchased at the LCBO on Rideau and King Edward (Ottawa) on January 5, 2013. Honey golden little head. Light aroma of citrus and peaches hop, a little dry. Taste of peaches and grapefruit hops quite well, not very bitter. It lacks a bit of bitterness, but it is pleasant to drink!

Thank Matt for the bottle. Pours a clear orange-red with a bit of fine white head and some active carbonation. Smell is quite citrusy with lime, lemon, orange, some spruce, very good nose. Palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Taste is a bit sweet at first, and that sweetness lingers while the bitterness builds to quite a height and then mellows mixing with the sweetness. Aftertaste is also quite bitter. An excellent DIPA.

On tap at Bar Hop. Slightly cloudy amber with a nice foamy head. Aromas of resin and citrus fruits. Full bodied resiny, dried apricots and lingering bitter. Very nice variation of Mad Tom.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Beer pours copper with a light head. Aroma is resin and a touch citrus from the strong american hops. Aroma comes off much stronger than the original mad tom. Taste is bitter throughout, with a heavy hop flavour upfront. Flavour starts more resinous, and the after taste turns orange zest and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is oily, like your mouth is being coated by the alpha acid oils. Good beer for hopheads, quite tasty.

12 ounce bottle thanks to pushkinwow . Pours a clear amber color with a medium sticky white head. A great nose of resin and citrus. Very sweet, massive resin, light pine, candied oranges, linger bitterness, finishes with more resin and orange. Awesome. A bit harsh at times, but excellent brew. I think I’m the first non-Canadian rating of this! Great beer.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap att bar hop - not a great sample, little buttery in the finish, otherwise might have been a good double IPA - Will try again and revise the review based on second taste.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Quite impressive. Nothing like the original Mad Tom, and I have to say I prefer it over the original. Citrus notes, high in bitterness, yet, the high alcohol is not easily noticed. I very much enjoyed this beer
