Bottle - 341ml. Nice amber/copper body with low carbonation and a thick off-white foamy head. Well balanced hoppy aroma with malty and flowery hints. Sharp hoppy taste with brown sugar, oaky, and fruity notes. Ends with a long, robust bitter finish. Well done.

Jan 5, 2010 Bouteille 341ml. De couleur cuivrée et claire. Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), légèrement floral aux notes résineuses et herbeuses, malté de caramel doux et légèrement fruité (agrumes). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement résineuse. Goût moyen-amer de houblon citrique (pamplemousse) et aux notes florales (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) avec un moyen-léger goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de caramel sucré avec des traces de biscuits terreux puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain d’amertume de houblon citrique moyennement asséchant, légèrement résineux et aux notes herbeuses. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyen-amer de houblon citrique, légèrement résineux et aux notes herbeuses ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes).

Dec 10, 2009 Bottle ( 341ml ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with JulienHuxley. Clear amber, smallish off-white head. Dry leafy aroma, some citrus zest - a bit sweet. Taste - pungently bittter, dry, pungent and slightly tart, plenty of dry yeast - some alcohol, and the citrus begins to dominate. Strong carbonation, average body ... dry, spicy, slightly sour linger. Better than the regular IPA.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle : Clear dark organge, soft carbonation, small beige head. Powerfull grapefruit nose. It’s citrusy. This one is hop focus and a most drink for hop head like me. Probably the best Ipa I had this year.

Excellent caramel and potent cascade hops aroma. Clear bronze topped by a thin, white cover. Spicy melanoidiny malt with a healthy dose of diacetyl caramel that works well with potent pine and grapefruit hops. Moderate to medium bitterness. Slightly bitter finish, medium body, moderate carbonation.

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with some bitter hoppy notes is interesting. Taste is also dominated by citrus notes with a bitter finish which leaves just a little room for the caramel malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing to really complain about here expect that I must admit that I personally don’t enjoy Cascade that much and find it better with part of a balanced mix of other hops.
