| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This balanced India Pale Ale offers as many caramelized and biscuity cereal flavors as it does earthy and citrusy hops, all in an effervescent and chewy mouthfeel.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the clear amber.
-The Frontenac malts come off as very green and fruity here, which kind of clashes with the earthy hop finish.
-This new version of St-Rodéo is more interesting than the 5% version, but I can’t say the flavor profile is one I can fall in love with.
-This might be a tad too sweet for my tastes in IPAs.

The aroma here is very floral hops, wild flowers, pollen that sort of thing very mouthwatering. Taste is good solid IPA bitterness with just that hint of caramel malt that makes the whole tasty and refreshing.
