| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 8, 2006 341 ml bottle courtesy Siroy. Amber colour with a creamy off-white head. Light toffee leading to big C-hops - grapefruit, light pine, tangerine, some lime. Light caramel gives way to cascades (duh!) - orange, grapefruit, lightly pithy bitter finish. Hoppy for sure, but not as bitter as expected at 104 IBUs. Medium bodied, refreshing. Another nice job Rene! jerc (3911), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 8, 2006 Bottle. Amber body with a good sized off white head. (3+) Very strong aroma of leafy resinous hops, tiny note of clementine orange. Over the top green hops in the flavour with lots of resin and a bit astringent but not really a lot of bitterness which is surprising. Bit of grapefruit in the finish. Average palate. Thanks for sharing OKBeer. Lubiere (4525), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2006 Dark orange amber also, with a thick bigger bubbled head, off-white, and lacing. Would have imagined hops would be more pronounced, but I found them more coniferous, with nice fruity esters, berry-like. In mouth, the hops are definitely sharper in mouth, but less long, almost dropping more quickly. Citrusy and caramel. Actually prefered Cascade better. Eructoblaster (1490), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2005 Bottle. Wonderful amber/orange body topped with a thick beige foamy head. Very pleasant hoppy aroma with malty, spicy and fruity (melon, grapefruit, pineapple) notes. Dry hoppy taste with various fruity notes and a creamy texture. It ends with a long and sharp bitter finish. Thanks to PrimeMinister for that excellent IPA! Siroy (220), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 9, 2005 [Bottle 341ml, fresh, chilled, alongside with the regular cascade]
Cool rich and bold orange/amber color. Thin off white head leaving laces on the glass. Has all the visual aspect of a good quality beer. Floral and citrus hops aroma. This is going to be bitter. Surprisingly, not that much even if it has a lot more bitterness then the regular cascade. Light to medium overall body with an oily texture. Average carbonation.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 5, 2005 341 ml provided by the estimable Rastacouere, thanks David! Pours with a simply enormous, lasting white-tan head, great gobs of lace atop a light maple body...extremely powerful fruity nose, grapefruit and apricot, buckwheat honey and some sourdough maltiness...strongly hoppy throughout the flavor profile, but bitterness leavened by enormous sweetness, unfortunately a bit cloying...somewhat oily palate, carbonation a bit on the weak side...long, lingering hop-oil bitter finish. A mixed bag...I definitely preferred the original Cascade. brentfeesh (1038), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2005 A good looking hazy orange brew with a light head. Metallic citrus orange and grapefruit aroma (which is pinesol like when too cold). Also some hints of bready yeast and malt. Nice pine-citrus-spice hop blend with malts that are a bit oaky. Medium dryish body. Good. Unbalanced. Not a bad brew all around, and another interesting selection from my trade with Boutip. Thanks! CapFlu (3482), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2005 (Bottle) Purchased as part of a Cascade 6-pack at Metro Joannette for $12. Pours a huge frothy almond head with a highly-carbonated deep orange body. The nose is very tinny and oddly, only mildly cascade? The flavour is isn’t as overpowering as I had thought - after having tried the regular Le Chaudron Cascade. This finish on this beer is so highly metallic and disagreable that I don’t know if I can finish it. Average.
