Jun 20, 2008 6-pack from SL Market LCBO. Very smooth drinking IPA with good herbal hops aroma and flavor. Not overly astringent or bitter, and not heavily matly. Just nicely balanced.

Jun 18, 2008 Nice looking with a good, fluffy head and slightly hazy color that almost matches the label. Considerable amount of resin malt overbalances the flavor of the hops, yet it then finishes too bitter and astringent at the very end(compared to the amount of hop flavor you get). It’s almost like it’s trying to be a IIPA, but wouldn’t even fit in there. Just not much of a fan, but might be right up some people’s alley.

Jun 17, 2008 (Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/westborough/julio’s-liquors/461.htm target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Pours bright but slightly hazy amber with two fingers of somewhat rocky light biscuit head. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel and some light vanilla. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth with a nice bit of heft for the style. Lots of patchy broken lacing. Flavor is grapefruit hoppiness over some light, malty-sweet caramel. Medium-bitter with a bit of a bitter pinch in finish. Lingering grapefruit and lightly floral aftertaste.

Jun 15, 2008 Updated: Jul 31, 2008Bottle. Pours clear amber with a fluffy one finger white head. Aroma is grapefruit, hint of biscuity malt. Taste starts off with biscuit, then come the citrus hops -- not as bright as some ipas, but still a nice, firm, prickly hop presence and bitterness. Finish is nice and bitter. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy, classic. Nice example.

Jun 13, 2008 Exactly what i was looking for. Bright copper colour, strong grapefruit and floral aromas. a very soft fruity mouthfeel but great hops flavor. nice retention in the head, very little lacing. overall pleasent brew.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle courtesy of mcferc4...THANKS AGAIN ROB!!! Very tasty little brew...kind of wish this one was a bomber!!! Nice citrus and resin aroma with just enough sweetness. Copper colored with a two-fingered white head. Flavor is pretty well balanced...not in the same category as AleSmith and maybe not even Great Divide but a tasty IPA non-the-less. I’ve really enjoyed everything from this brewery.
