Jun 8, 2009 2009-06-05. Crisp orange amber body with a small white head. (3+) Really interesting, pleasant hoppy aroma up front. Sort of a fruity character to the hops that is not quite citrus, which carries over into the flavour as well. Pleasant bitterness throughout. Interesting fruit notes (akin to lychee) with a pleasant bitterness throughout that lingers. Average palate. Pleasant, interesting hops! Bottle at Mondial 2009, Montreal

Jun 7, 2009 Bu au Mondial 2009, le 5 juin (#15). Rousse orange, peu de collet. Arome d’houblon amère plaisant, un peu d’agrume. Goût d’houblon très amère, une peu de fruits tropicaux, mais la finission amère est sec. Elle est raide au goût mais très buvable!

Jun 2, 2009 Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of hops, pine, resin, hop juice, slight grass, and slight citrus. Poured amber in color with a small, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is heavily bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, spruce, resin, hop juice, slight grass, and slight toasted malts. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Bitter hop finish is lightly dry. No hint of 9%ABV. Kinda like sucking on hon some hops.

May 29, 2009 This is an excellent offering of a double IPA from Arcadia. The beer pours a light amber color with a huge white head. The head leaves an abundance of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of hops, pine, grapefruit and bread. The body is strong, but smooth and enjoyable. The flavors are spicy, hoppy, well-balanced and delicious, with notes of grass, grapefruit, bread, pine and a hint of a floral character. The finish is spicy, dry and hoppy. This double IPA had quite the malt backbone for balance and ultimate enjoyment. This is certainly one of the better double IPAs out there.

May 21, 2009 Thank you Benny (wakeandbake)! Beautiful elixir. Crystal clear ruby, orange gold with a thick white head that fades to lacing. Aroma is wonderfully balanced of grapefruit, pine and floral hops with toasty malts. Flavor is bitter and clean. Palate is medium bodied and carbonation and has a nice bitter aftertaste. Overall, this is dangerous at 9%!

May 21, 2009 Golden orange color with a nice off-white head. I’m getting grapefruit and pine on the nose. Not as bitter as I was expecting it to be, but a nice mild bitterness. I don’t rate this as very extreme - maybe I’m jaded by all the others. But I’m getting more hop from the Arcadia Hopmouth. I enjoy this one, but I’d rather see it in a 6pack than a 4.

May 21, 2009 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Offwhite head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Orange and resin aromas. Sticky sweet honey upfront with orange and grapefruit. Lasting weed resin finish. Alcohol is very well hidden.

May 19, 2009 Pours copper with minimal head. This head, however, makes for nice lacing. The malt is a little sour - which I’m not a big fan of. The hoppage, however, is magnificent. Bouquet of floral hops against a bitter and sweet malt backdrop.As it warms it has a sweet, sticky and dank characteristic about it. Very proto-cannabis.
