4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20UPDATED: FEB 24, 2013 Deep copper with a tight white head. Bread, toast, tropical fruits and resiny hops on the nose. More big bready malt in the flavour, watermelon, pineapple, followed by a rising hop bitterness. Robust mouthfeel, middling carbonation. Bitter hop finish. A fun hop forward IPA.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Directly from the bottle into my mouth. Smells of caramel malts and resinous and piney hops. Taste is similar pine, resin, caramel malts. Decent IPA but wouldn’t go out of my way to seek out.

This is an amazing brew! Definitely the best I've tried so far. I haven't tried many, but this will be difficult to top for me.

Bottle. Pleasant hoppy aroma, average carbonation. Strong hop flavor, slightly sweet. Slightly bitter finish. Very strong flavorful IPA, but with ABV 7.2, much too strong for after a hockey game. Definitely a sipping beer, not a post-game beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A hazy golden caramel color with a finger of white head with pretty good lacing. Smells of caramel, citrus, floral hops, bread. A fair amount of bitter on the tongue initially but a good amount of sweet to balance. The floral notes hit in the aftertaste with a lingering bitter along with some cracker/bread. Good overall, enjoyed.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle pours a golden brown color with a bit of head. Full hop flavors that seem to increase in intensity, yet very easy going.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Extra IPA for sure. It’s a slightly milder version of Celebration but just a bit too hoppy still for my palate. It has a decent floral hop aroma and an impressive copper pour with a big white head that leaves a lot of lacing. The citrus hops hit early but the finish is a bitter bomb explosion. It leaves your mouth pretty dry and makes it slightly hard to drink fast. It’s a solid beer but a touch overrated in my opinion.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle @ brew wharf. Orange brown with slight haze. Not as much on the nose as I thought there might be - slightly funky hops, some overripe fruit maybe. Tasted good, though. Slight funky tropical fruit sweetness with a little choc malt which then turns into the bitter grapefruit with slightly tonic edge. Good.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pous deep cloudy red with hops bursting from the frothy head. There is a lot of piney citrus notes and enticing grapefruit near the finish. The flavor is a lot sweeter than anticipated but full of bitter notes and finishes with an astringent end. Great IPA
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A light sweet aroma. Such a full flovour it is intense, slight sweetness, citrus, a lil toffee. Nice light brown colour. A good IPA.
