Nice big hop aroma.
Hazy amber, big bubbles, low head, some lace.
Hop dominates taste, but has a rather
quick finish.
very nice though.

Dark gold in colour with somewhat low carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, light pine, and a hint of black pepper. Heavy in the mouth with some bready overtones. Loads of assertive pine resin flavor. The citrus element returns mid-sip but fades again, leaving the pine, some chunky bitterness, and some leafy green hop flavor. Not very balanced, but I don’t mind a hop-ladden beer like this. Thanks Oakes!

My bottle, shared with Blankboy and Hogtown Harry, courtesy of a trade with Joe McPhee. Nice hop hose, sharp, fresh, and citrusy. Light orange, bubbly white head. Lovely balanced citrus hop / malt taste - right on style. Hops are slightly sharp. Soapy light mouthfeel - thin but appropriate. Better balanced than the excellent Double IPA. A real pleasure to drink.

Juicy and well malted IPA. Light orange with very thick head. Lace in glass is abundant.Hoppy and some yeast aroma. Nice bitter and also juicy. Smooth and easy drink. Not big and very pleasant, an astringency that matches meat

Big pour, tall, loose head. Hops aroma is a bit overwhelming...grapefruit and pine smell fountains out of the glass. Amarillo hops? Pale amber colour is disappointing...would like to see more colour in this robust beer. Mouthfeel is nice...not overthick and not watery at all. Hops taste is huge...this beer has way more bitterness than "hop-monster" beers. I love it with fish.

Thanks to Blankboy. Appearance: golden orange, hazy, snow white head, lots of visible carbonation. Aroma: super mango, strawberry, pineapple, a little yeast and some mild orange. Flavour: lots of initial carbonation, malt, pine, deliciously refreshing orange with a long bitter finish. Lovely.

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2008 De couleur crême orangée, un peu voilée, avec une superbe mousse, abondante et durable.
Parfum floral et sucré, extrêmement agréable.
La mousse est plutôt amère, mais le premier goût est équilibré, avec encore de fortes notes florales.
L’arrière goût est un peu amer, légèrement moins agréable que la première impression.
La carbonation est équilibrée.
Excellente bière! Vous la siroterez de moins en moins vite en voyant le fond du verre.
Obtenue via bièrofolies - servie ’’Très’’ froide.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2012 Bottle - Flowery hop aroma with a little caramel and spice. Clear gold with minimal quick dissipating head. Tastes just like it smells, with a nice bitterness that lingers. A great local Canadian beer.
