Sep 1, 2009 Location: 500 ml bottle from State Line, 9/1/09
Aroma: Mellow floral hops, caramel malts, some mild fruit, and just a touch of soapiness that keeps it from being better
Appearance: Nice hazy orange color, fizzy white head, spotty lacing
Flavor: Hop bitterness throughout, with some caramel malts in the backing, an odd herbal quality as well, grassy finish
Palate: Medium body, oily, fizzy
Overall Impression:
I thought this beer was alright, but I just found it to be a touch off, the soapiness of the nose bothered me a bit, and found the flavor to be a touch flawed as well. Maybe this wasn’t fresh enough? I don’t know, but although it wasn’t a bad beer by any means, I won’t be running out for this one again.

Aug 19, 2009 500 ml bottle. Straw color with rapidly vanishing head. Floral aromas with a slight hoppy smell. Taste is very standard with a nice bitter finish. Good for hot summer days.

Aug 7, 2009 Draft at the Pub. Poured a hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet malts and floral hops. Notes of citrus, pine, and caramel stand out. On the palate, it is a bit dry. THe flavor is a bit watered down, not very hoppy at all, but still has a nice bitter finish. Nothing special, but worth trying.

Aug 4, 2009 Very floral IPA. Nice balance of hops and malt but not overpowering hopiness. Pours dark golden with a short head.

Aug 4, 2009 Slightly hazy orange pour. Obvious presence of hops that carries for awhile. Decent taste that has a good hop profile. Pretty good, slightly harsh on the finish.

Aug 1, 2009 Acheté à la SAQ du Marché Jean-Talon à Montréal. En bouteille. 6.1%. En général, pas mauvais, mais je me serai passé du bitter de cette bière. Acidité et amertume moyenne. Arôme de chocolat, muscade et estragon. Effervescence nulle. Bière de couleur doré-orangé. Densité faible. Mousse pratiquement inexistante. Saveur de bitter, mais surtout d’épice...il y a beaucoup d’épice.
