355ml bottle from The Beer Store. Pours a dark hazy amber with a rocky white head. Great lacing and retention. Aroma is not inviting. Pine-Sol comes to mind. Lots of body, but tastes soapy. I’d swear they used Belgian yeast. Doesn’t mix well with the hops. Bitter finish.

It pours a nice amber color with a quick disappearing white head and a decent amount of lacing. The aroma is pretty basic carmel malt. The flavor is a little unbalanced with the carmel malt being in the front. But also there is some strong piney notes. The hops generally take the lead but not here. Not much of an IPA but a decent flavor profile still. It finishes bitterness but nothing over the top. This should be called a pale ale. But a decent beer but nothing to write home about either.

Sampled at GCBF ’10, pours hazy golden. Aroma of hops and too much malt to balance. This comes through in the flavour that is caramel malt dominated, with light hops in the backbone.

355 ml bottle at Volo. Pours a cloudy orange/amber with large, rocky off-white head. Citric and piney hops with a decent caramel malt backing. Taste follows. Average bitterness, very fizzy carbonation. Fine but not particularly noteworthy.

Bottle. This one nearly exploded out of the bottle, resulting in loss of beer. What I managed to get into the glass was dark caramel and cloudy. HUGE head that slowly subsides. Lots of lace and and black floaties that I am assuming are yeast. Aroma is sweet caramel malt. Taste is similar, with some resinous, mildly piney hops in the background. The balance is tilted a little more towards strong malt in this IPA. This is a good beer, but I have better choices brewed closer to home.

Tasted: 2010 Calgary Beerfest. Pefect hue of Hazelnut Brown. Nose: Warm toffee, forest wood and morning toast. Taste: Toffee entrance followed by dancing hops that cover every area of the mouth. Birch tree comes through near the end and sticks around through a long finish. I am blown away by the quality and depth of Paddock Woods beers at this tasting.

Pours a hazy dark amber colour with virtually no head. Aroma is of light caramel malts, hops and some fruit. Taste is sweet and malty, close to brown sugar a little bit, it is bitter towards the finish, which is long. Average carbonation, medium body and fairly nice. Overall it is good but there lots of other IPA’s ahead of this one.

Nice malty nose, more like a pale ale, orange, with a tiny custard head. Taste is malt and fruit. Medium bodied, very nicely balanced, pleasantly bitter. Very good. Thanks RadekKliber.

Nose: high pitch hop profile , citric fruits with hazed malty bottom. Not entirely clean. 6+
Flavor/Palate : fairly thin bodied with soapy hop character. Lacking body a bit that shows even more with high carbonation. Bit funky that gives more of an impression of Belgian ale. Finishing dry.
