3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Honey-orange color with a thin, dissipating white head. Aroma of blossoms and pine, orange peel and grapefruit, late honey and marmalade. Flavor is initially bitter grapefruit rind, then orange, burnt toffee and a mineral and alcohol finish. Palate is soft and syrupy. This was tasty, floral and bitter but I found the breadth of flavor and palate lacking.

Caramel malt, hay, and pineapple aroma. Golden color, thin white head. Medium bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Orange peel, caramel, and rose hip flavor. Marshmallow peep finish? Very queer, but in an interesting sort of way. Good balance of malt and hop, tons of character. Well done!

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 fl. oz. bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear amber with a nice off-white froth.
Aroma: Really fruity malts, nice C-hops, caramel, toffee, grapefruit, dark dried fruits, brown sugar, marmalade on dark rye, a touch of pine and tropical fruit esters.
Palate: Medium body, moderate but lively effervescence, a bit syrupy.
Flav.: The malts are a little more stern, less fruity and playful, the hops are pine, resin and a lot of grapefruit, some floral honey, some brown sugar; dry with very nice bitterness.
An excellent American IPA. Took me a few 6-packs before I actually saved one to rate...
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
si presenta con un bellissimo colore biondo paglierino tendente al rosso leggermente opaca,accompagnata da un bellissimo cappello bianchissimo di schiuma compatta e persistente!
si sente un leggero odore di resina, molto piacevole,al palato risulta molto luppolata e decisamente amara,soprattutto nei primi sorsi,accompagnata da un retrogusto molto morbido.
è veramente un ottima IPA !!!!!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear golden orange color with a thick frothy off-white head that has excellent retention, slowly fading into a lasting cap that leaves streaks of lacing.
Floral and citrus hop aroma with hints of citrus fruit, pineapple and grapefruit and a caramel malt backbone. Slightly piny.
Very crisp and smooth drinking with a decent balance of malt and hops. A little too malty for my preference taking away from the bitterness and citrus notes from the hops. Still earthy and bitter however with a dry pine finish.
