Commercial Description:
This locally handcrafted ale is unfiltered and unpasteurized to enhance its character It is brewed with the finest Canadian Barley, hops, pure water and our signature yeast. Because this beer is naturally carbonated, it may have a light dusting of yeast at the bottom. Pour it slowly to leave the yeast in the bottle, or pour it in, it tastes great!

Cloudy orange, thin white head. Citrusy aroma, maybe even a hint of banana, with a touch of pine and mint. Very earthy flavors. Much more resiny hop flavors with a dirty malt backbone. Surprisingly few citrus note considering how fuity the aroma was. Thanks to Oakes for the trade.

Bottle. Pours a light orange-golden body with a small white frothy head. Yeasty cheese aroma along with the expected fruity hops and pine. Fruity and hoppy flavours with a touch of bread malt balance. Caramel sweetness towards the finish. Pretty solid. Sampled at Volo on April 29, 2006.

Overload on the hops! This beer will beat down anything you had to taste before it in an instant. The hop doesn’t last TOO long, but wow! If I didn’t know that it was a beer I don’t think I’d be able to identify it in a blind taste test. Citrusy pine and a touch of sweetness.

Bottle at Volo. Amber, gold, fine carbonation, large fizzy head sweet malt, clean hop nose, simple but it works for me. Very bitter front, green leaf. Bitter-sour finish, with shy malt work.

Bottle at Volo. Clear golden-amber with a small white head. Resiny hop nose, lots of orange blossom and caramel malt - nice! Flavour holds a solid balance of grapefruity hops and sweet malt. A very good IPA - I’ll be enjoying more of these at Volo come patio season.

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

Bottle courtesy of joemcphee. Bitterness on the tongue w/ citrus flavor and caramel, brown sugar malty background. Good, drinkable, but not great.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear bubbly orange with a small diminishing white head. Very nice aroma of hops, hops, hops! Fresh citrus hops nicely balanced with some sweet malt. Flavour’s also nice and hoppy but a tad thin -- great lasting bitterness to it though. Wow, this was a nice surprise and a great way to start our tasting. A solid IPA.
