Mar 30, 2009 Bottle that was never poured in a glass, drinks like a lame caramel bodied ipa with not enough IBU’s to put forth anything i enjoy in an IPA. Simple and sessionable i suppose.

Mar 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a modest off-white head. Aroma of strawberries, candied fruits, citrus hops, and caramel malt. Nice, fresh grapefruit hops in the body with good crisp caramel malt for balancing. Bitter, clean grapefruit aftertaste. A very good IPA. Can’t really find this stuff anymore...too bad.

Oct 25, 2008 Hazy dark gold color with a small fluffy head. Bitter, light citrusy hop flavor. Faint malty sweetness. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Nothing too out of the box.

Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orangish gold wth small slightly off white head. Crisp citrus hoppy nose. Light maltiness with a somewhat bitter citrus hop finish. Medium body. Not bad, though I’d echo the comments that it lacks the punchiness of good IPAs.

Oct 6, 2008 (Bottle). Citrus aroma. Cloudy yellow-orange color, with off-white head. Flavor is refreshingly citrus, mostly orange and lemon. Limited bitterness. Pleasant, but very mild for an IPA.

Aug 25, 2008 on tap at Magic Hat- rating based upon a few samples. Almost clear golden in color with orange highlights. Aroma: mild to moderate orange/grapefruit with a very light touch of malt in the back. Taste is a light to moderate amount of citrus hops, on a light to medium pale malt body. Very straightforward and easy drinking for an IPA. Clean flavor profile. Bitterness is light to moderate in the finish. Not bad for an APA but not as assertive as I like IPA’s.

Aug 21, 2008 [1604-20080816] 355mL bottle. Light sweet fruit aroma has a bit of hops and grains. Clear, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Bit of sweet fruit hops and a bit of hoppy bitterness in the flavour. Medium body. Not bad, fairly fresh.

Aug 19, 2008 2008-08-16. Dark yellow not quite orange body, with a small white head. Mild grainy aroma, touches of straw and hops. (5+) Low level citrus hops in the flavour, light astringency, mild grainy undertones. Average palate. An adequeate pale ale, a poor IPA. Bottle, Coles IPA Festival, Buffalo
