Jun 27, 2009 Bottle. A gift from hobbersr, in part as thanks for driving 3 and a half hours each way to Whitefish, MT to check out a beer store that MIGHT have some bottles of Cantillon... because I totally wasn’t gona go anyway.... Pours a lovely deep polished copper with a think off-white and very sticky head. Nice greean cast to the beer, exactly as I like in an IPA. Slightly hazy and with great lacing. Nose is nice and spicy, with plenty of citrus and hops, plus a nice crystal-malt toffeeishness right in the middle. Palate is crisp and refreshing, with nice malt and hop character, great balance, very well hiddden alcohol. Bitternessis present, but well balanced against both the sppice and the malt. I doubt I’d have gotten this bottle if hobbersr had tasted his bottle first!

Jun 12, 2009 Very hoppy smell with spice and citrus. Taste is hops and malt with a bitter aftertaste. Nice full palate. Great for a local beer.

May 10, 2009 Stubby courtesy of Matt7215. Pours copper with an off white rocky head. Smells of perfume, light citrus, earthy. Tastes of citrus, perfume, wildflowers, a touch of resin, sage. Unusual hop profile, but very refined and enjoyable.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad. Pours a cloudy amber with a white ring. Big sweet aroma, of malt, hops, caramel, and dark fruits. Nice bitter-sweet taste, with a bit of hops, caramel, malt, herbs, and a bit of a bite. Lingering clean sharp bitterness. Still drinkable.

Jan 28, 2009 Draught at Volo, January 2009. This is a wonderful IPA, copper orange with a small off white head (likely small to fit a full pint in the glass). There are aromas of peach in the hops. It’s really drinkable, approachable and very fresh. Hops in the flavour give way to some inviting layers of apricot and peach and plenty of bitterness.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle at the woodshop quad, at least 2 years old, probably older, age did this beer well. Pours reddish with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and boozy. Taste is sweet mellow and really pretty damn good, no hops left but who cares.
