3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 harrisoni (9608) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - NOV 10, 2006
On tap at Spinnaker’s, Victoria. Pale gold, thick creamy head. Creamy English golden ale aroma, with hop which is hay and dry grass. Creamy in mouth. Not a PNW IPA. Smooth creamy golden ale with tangy slightly citrusy lemony/hay hop finish. Pleasant.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 15, 2006
Bottle. Golden yellow, film of a head. Lots of butter/butterscotch in the aroma, mostly diacetyl. Flavour is a touch buttyery as well, pleasant bitterness flirts with astringency in the finish. Mild malt. Average palate. I expect a draft sample might be better. Brewnosers Meeting.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Miguel (1181) - Saint-Ours, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 21, 2006
BBD 10/05. Robe blonde très claire aux reflets cuivrés. Arômes de malt et de caramel. Saveurs de malt et de céréales. Houblon de soutien. Peut-être un peu trop vieille.

Bottle. Golden orange, small head, little lace. Decent citrusy hop aroma with fruity malt flavor. Finish is mildly bitter for an IPA, and the body is a bit thin. A refreshing beer though, not bad, but not exceptional.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 3fourths (6218) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - AUG 5, 2005
Draft at the brewery
Orange color, deep and rich rusty orange. Very light texture overall, very fresh, though. Semi-bitter taste with a dry finish. Not a hop monster by any means, and it almost resembles an English Pale Ale: some nutty, caramely chewy malt flavors. Good stuff.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 HazelRah (276) - Summerland, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 1, 2005
It’s peach n cot season and what better accompaniment than this fruity IPA. Pours orange with lovely long-lasting head. Hops don’t overpower but are still quite well-done. Some yeastiness is there too.

Clear amber appearance. Dryish malt, slightly biscuity, slightly caramelly aroma. Dryish palate, touches of biscuit and caramel, fairly dry and bitter but not aggressive in the finish.
