My Bottom Line:
Bready malts and decorous earthy, leafy hops merge in this able-bodied but forgettable India Pale Ale. Its hoppiness is simply not bright enough to stand out amongst its peers.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam tops the hazy reddish orange.
-The nose is a dead giveaway; this is going to be an English-style IPA.
-A decent finishing hop bitterness promotes more of the same earthiness.
-Carbonation is soft and the body is lean, which makes for effortless drinking.

Sep 30, 2008 (Bottle). Bitter grapefruit aroma. Orange-amber color, white head. Flavor a little citrusy, with a very bitter long finish. Not particularly well balanced, but certainly drinkable.

Sep 1, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere de couleur ambré-miel, avec un bon collet moyennement collant. Odeur de cedres, poivre, sel, citrouille et un peu le blé. Saveur de miel, cremeux et huileux en bouche, encore une fois le blé et le pain brun.

Aug 26, 2008 Riche, houblonné, bon caramel, bel équilibre et douce amertume pour finir. On baissé le prix des bouteilles en épiceries. Now 3,99

Aug 23, 2008 A basic IPA. Very little aroma, and it was more malty than faint hoppy. Bubbly fizzy head, medium yellow body colour. The taste is fruity and the hoppiness nice, they give a passable carbonation, and a mouthfeel that is perhaps a bit below average. I do not know the IBU, its between a pale and an IPA but I enjoyed drinking it.
