A nice, balanced IPA with moderate cirtus and grassy aromas and flavors. Easy to drink, quite average IPA, but still has a pretty good overall flavor.

Dec 30, 2009 330 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours light yellow with a small white head. minimal carbonation. bighoppy nose with some grain pilsish malt body coming through. the flavour is mostly americn hops with just enough malt body. i enjoy the clean malt profile and how it was used to showcase the hops. hella drinkable with no real highs or lows. ill be back for more and would love to see this one as a year rounder.

Dec 30, 2009 Fruity aroma with grass, sweet yeast and apples. Brilliantly clear golden color with a frothy head. Oh wow! Nice fruity flavor - apricots and strawberries at the forefront - with a follow-through of bitterness at the swallow. Light and easily quaffed. All nicely complemented by a dry huskiness of European floor malts. This is truly outstanding!

Dec 30, 2009 Dark straw in colour. Aroma is fruity with some pine aromas too, but not as aromatic as a lot of US IPAs. Flavour is medium bodied witha slightly bitter finish. Not much hop flavour, more light malt and slight caramel and pine nuts. I was left wanting more from this beer, I expected something abit more I think and was just a slightly dissapointed.

Dec 29, 2009 Aroma of citrus, pine and burnt toast. Taste is a little light with some hops but nothing really to back it up. A good beer but isn’t really exceptional.

Dec 29, 2009 Pours a billowy white head that lasts throughout. Color is slightly hazy gold, would have liked it to be clearer.
Nose is very forward spicy hops, a little earthiness, and some floral bouquet on the finish.
Mouthfeel is less than expected on the front, burst of bitter hops carries the mid-palate -- some spice notes on the finish are nice.
Not a lot of balance with this beer.

Dec 28, 2009 330 mL bottle. (bb 11/10/10). Nice label. Pale gold with a small white head. Strong hoppy aroma is dominated by pine/spruce, but has a grassy note as well. The flavour is all hops, from the floral start to the lingering, bitter finish. Little malt presence to speak of, which differentiates this IPA from the best of the style.
