Bottle from the LCBO, this beer pours a cloudy golden colour with a thick frothy head. The aroma is of thick citrus and malty notes, the taste is delicious with a citrus and pine hop notes. Behind all that hoppy goodness, is a malty backbone that offers some delicious thick caramel malts. This is a great double IPA, and I will definitely try again!

Une bouteille de 660ml. Version à 8,5% bouteille peinte inscrite Limited Edition. Cette bière est cuivrée foncée avec une mousse beige. Le nez est simple mais efficace avec du caramel et des houblons francs. La bouche est sucrée mais pas disproportionnée, le malt supporte les houblons. La finale aurait pu être un peu plus amère, mais cette bière fut un régal pour accompagner le boudin noir.

Une bouteille de 66 cl. Version à 8.5% d’alcool. Une robe orange foncée. Un col mousseux bien tenace qui fabrique une large dentelle. Un nez qui suinte les malts roux et qui respire des houblons fait de notes de pin, d’herbes grasses et d’oranges confites. Un alcool mentholé dans les entrailles du liquide. Des saveurs houblonnées et amères qui progressent dans un alcool floral et poivré. Des céréales caramélisées qui arrivent au bon moment. Une bouche assez ronde avec une belle prestation des bulles. Une texture huileuse. Une finale amère, florale, résineuse, longue et assez intense. Une double bien roulée et plutôt facile à boire.

Nice sticky bitterness to the palate. Aroma of alcohol and pine. Molasses butter and tylenol to the taste.Very bitter, balanced by sweetness, but the dull sweetness that’s only a backnote which i very much prefer. I enjoyed this bottle much more this year than last. And for the price, I’m considering stocking up!

Slightly muted aroma, oniony/catty hop sweet smelling aroma. Dark brown, hazy, white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Flavor shows a lot of hop character, piney and tropical, with a malty middle and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Pine aftertaste. Not that assertive in terms of bitterness compared to other DIPAs. Medium bodied, medium carbonated. OK.

Tree Brewing's regular Hop Head is very tasty, so there's surprised that this is twice as tasty! Strong hoppy bitterness that unfolds with settle citrus undertones. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

1 finger head mostly dark red and cant see into it but on side can see little crabination. 8.5% strong pinny hop smell and on taste mostly the pinny grassy hops with a earthy bitterness but backround is a little of the fruity/citrus hops. veary pinny and bitter eathyniss and heavy bodied.

Amber with orange tinges. Aromas of pine, hops, some fruit. Bitter, but well balanced. I liked the full body and lingering finish. Great beer.

Pours an amber colour with a slight orange tinge. Big white head that dissipates but leaves a healthy ring and lace covering the entire glass. Aroma is mostly pine, some grassiness, some citrus, and some sweet malts. Flavours are pine, grapefruit, grassy, earthy, dry finish. So well balanced the 8.2 abv is hardly noticeable.

On tap at O’Hares in Steveston. Golden reddish amber color. Hops on the nose. Big hops with solid malt backing on the tongue. Long, bitter aftertaste. Yum!
