Enniskillen (1554), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Jul 6, 2008 Amber with a white head. Aroma is mildly hoppy with caramel, and malt. Taste is hoppy with a dry grapefruit and light alcohol.
Angeloregon (1898), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 18, 2008 Thanks to my brother for bringing a bottle of this back with him from BC--Poured a caramel-copper body with a caramel nose and a thin white head. Subdued hoppiness that comes across as mildly citrus in finish. Sticky on the tongue with some grapefruit and pine finish. Easy drinking. tiggmtl (4181), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Aug 1, 2008 Light citrus, floral hops over caramel and grainy malts and light butterscotch in the nose. Hazy burnished copper coloured body is topped by a low but lasting large bubbled off white head that laces really nicely. Caramel flavour is quite strong and joined by light butterscotch. Bitterness is surprisingly restrained. Citrus hops are mostly only apparent in the aftertaste. Butterscotch becomes stronger as it warms. Medium body with creamy smooth texture and moderate carbonation. Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Bottle (Brewery Creek, Aug-01). DuffMan (1942), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 14, 2008 orange amber, very nice hoppy aroma, citrus oil and resin. The palate is really quite sticky with some sickly-sweet malt leading into a generous hop presence, all resin and bitter grapefruit. This became more of an effort to drink as time went on, mostly due to the syruoy malt structure. blankboy (2570), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 25, 2008 Bottle (650ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear orange-copper with a large lasting fluffy off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malt, citrus & resin hops, fruit, light spices and some yeastiness too. Flavour’s pretty bitter, with lots of citrus & resin hops along with some fruit, caramel malt and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very good, another quality Canadian IPA and once again not from Ontario.
