Blasphemies (45), Ontario, Canada Mar 3, 2008 Not a lot of aroma. Amber colour, virtually no head. Lots of hop taste, enjoyable.
Beershine (1515), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 18, 2008 Bottle. Deep jewel tone red-ruby. Incredibly red. Nose is balanced, hoppy but also with meaty caramel malts. Autumnal aromas: crisp, bitter air. Good, quaff-friendly palate. Like an ESB balance of flavors. Roasty, burnt goodness. Very nice. Skidds (214), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aug 19, 2008 A fellow LCBO customer saw me buying Mill Street Tankhouse Ale and recommended next time I try this one. I took his advice and was quite pleased. Aroma is quite hoppy with some malty and fruity notes. A hint of caramel also. Flavour about the same with some bitterness. Good job Canada, you’re starting to come around. mannika (73), Toronto, Alberta, Canada 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. ILduce (105), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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. hiphop (84), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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.
