Aug 7, 2008 341mL bottle. Pours a clear amber with quickly diminishing head. Aroma is great - hoppy and sweet. Flavour has a big bitterness, yielding to a spicier finish. Aftertaste is a tad metallic - not too bothersome though. Enjoyable - enjoy my IPA a bit less bitter but this is still nice.

Aug 6, 2008 Stubby: Copper with a small airy head. Big leafy hop aroma with ctrus and malt. Great hop and malt taste backed up by grapefruit and spice. Chewy with a distinct earthyness. Bitter throughout. Solid IPA.

Aug 4, 2008 Midly hazy copper-bronze body with a medium beige head. The aroma is hops (pine, sap, earth, resin) without being overwhelmingly bitter - in fact it’s fairly mild as far as IPA’s go. The taste has plenty of fruit notes, grassy/pine hops, biscuit-like malt, and a hint of salty/bitter yeast. I like beers that shows off a hint of yeast without detracting from the flavors. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, good hop aroma and flavor without the bite.

Jun 28, 2008 341 mL bottle from matt7215. Thanks! Orange-brown with almost no head. Malty aroma with floral hop notes. Strong hop taste... metallic, resin, and some grain also. Drinkable but forgettable.

Jun 16, 2008 Nicely balanced between resiny, piney hops and some biscuity malt. Caramel flavours became more apparent as the beer warmed, and it finished dry with crisp carbonation that wiped the palate clean.

Jun 16, 2008 341 ml stubbie from the LCBO. pours dark orange with a small off white head. aromas are hops and caramel malts. flavours are similar but a bit thin. improved as it warmed. an average IPA by my books.

Jun 15, 2008 In the stubby bottle at Smokeless Joe’s in Toronto. Has a real orange and chocolate nose. Pours dark amber with a thin, big-bubbled white head. This has a great benchmark IPA flavor- a strong and long on the tongue bitter bite. The bitternesss lasts long after the last swallow. Really good.
