CCCP (16), , British Columbia, Canada Jul 19, 2008 Had this in a cask at Central City’s Cask fest. Very clear straw colour that looks fabulous in the light. Quick-falling head, soapy nose. Great big hops - very floral. This is a solid IPA. Quevillon (1518), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Jul 15, 2008 Bouteille de 341 ml partagé avec jerc et Mabel à Vole (Toronto), le 12/7/08. Arome d’houblon un peu amère, un peu d’agrume. Goût d’houblon tres amère, faiblement fruité et caramelisé. Bien mais pas assez savoureuse! Lubiere (4464), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2008 A dark golden orange ale with a thin big bubbled head. A pleasant fragrant hops with meaty notes, mint, fresh. In mouth, a good balance of biscuit malt and floral hops, lingering pleasantly, not over the top, light berry notes. Nice offering from BC. Bieropholie. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Nov 15, 2007 Bottle thanks to CapFlu! Poured an explosive clear medium golden with a head that took up almost the entire glass. The aroma picked up more and more soapy notes as it warmed.. started out with dusty citrus fruits (tangerine and grapefruit).. floral came through as well. The flavor had more of the juicy citrus fruits.. grapefruit with a tangy tangerine twist.. floral bitterness was heavy on the back-end and finish.. tasty. Medium-bodied with oppressively high carbonation.. fills the mouth with foam.. nice use of citrus and high bitterness on the back. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Oct 28, 2007 Bottle courtesy of boutip. Pours copper with a huge white head. Smells of bitter citrus, some soap, biscuits. Tastes of a nice blend of caramel, lemons, oranges, some pepper and spices, wildflowers and a bit resiny. Nicely balanced finish. tomthompson89 (1459), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 16, 2007 amazing citrus grapefruit hop nose, amber color decent white foam some malt flavor with nice dry hop flavor good canadian , at Volo TipsyMcStager (900), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 15, 2007 Piney hop aroma, some malt.
