| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2007 750ml bottle at Cole’s IPA Fest: Golden brown color with a thin foamy white head. Big pine aroma with loads of fresh citrus notes and hints of cedar. Lightly sweet malts come through initially followed by pine-like hops. Finishes dry with a faint woody flavor. Flavor falls far short of the excellent aroma. jerc (3947), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2007 Bottle at Coles IPA Festival. Golden amber body with small creamy off white head. (3+) Lightly floral hops, muted citrus and hints of caramel. Similar flavour with citrus up front that gives way to caramel with muted resiny hops. Average to medium smooth palate. Alcohol is not particularly noticeable, I had no idea this was 10% abv. Very balanced and drinkable, but not nearly as assertive as I had hoped. It would have to be more aggressive than this to require an apology ;)
