armando629 (952), Budapest, Hungary Jan 3, 2009 Thanks MartinT! Deep hazy amber-orange body with a delicious tan lacing head. Fruity aroma with peach, citruses, the volatile oils of orange peel and of course: strong, fine resiny hop perfume. Some caramel and yeast in the nose too. Fine hops in the flavor(strong but not overpowered), fine malt and fruits, citruses and orangepeel feeling. Fine and strong bitter finish, but not an agressive, soon a well balanced aftertaste. jasonp (1504), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA Jan 3, 2009 11.5 oz bottle purchased at Ramsey Liquors, NJ. Pours a muddy dark bronze with a medium manilla head. Herbal, woody, grassy pine hop nose with caramel. Flavor has a heavy toffee presence then a big dose of piney US hops then orange/grapefruit. The bitterness is quite prominent but not harsh. Lingering woody bitter finish. The body is full and round with soft carbonation. Enjoyable, but I would have preferred less woodiness/toffee. Flamojune (93), Ville de Quebec, Quebec, Canada Jan 1, 2009 Ma biere favorite with Charlevoix Milk Stout IPA lovers will get what they need DIEU DU CIEL RULES ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH ZAPPA AND COOPER JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Dec 31, 2008 Deep amber-orange beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly orangey and fruity. Light peach and pink grapefruit as well. There is a lightly zesty/spicy note to this beer as well. The flavour is hoppy, but not all that bitter. Grapefruit and citrus and a kiss of light caramel on the back. Quite a nice beer, really. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Dec 29, 2008 bottle. Hazy orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma of citrus hops- a good amount of cascade- maybe some amarillo, some darker crystal malt, and some earthy resinous hops. Taste has a good amount of hop character- earth and citrus, some light sticky crystal malts, and a moderate lingering bitterness that gets a touch abrasive. Nice IPA that is a bit above average. carruthm (1110), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 29, 2008 A - hops are clear and abudant. traces of raisins, light fruits, faint whiff of cinnamon 7+
V - large bubble head about one finger in depth, copper red in hue, prominent lacing 4
T - spicy bite to it, stronger cinnamon which fades into a bitter hop blend, bitter sticks around 6
P - somewhat creamy, but the residual taste is flat and dull 2
O - fine enough, but I do not find much to make this stick out amongst other IPAs martin21 (156), Quebec city, Quebec, Canada Dec 26, 2008 Tres bonne IPA. Aromes d agrumes provenant du houblon Cascade est tres present.
Very good IPA. Citrus aromas from Cascade hops are very present! OldGrowth (1405), North Carolina, USA Dec 19, 2008 bottle, from Sams quikstop or bluelight. Good aroma, sweet, bready, nutty, citrus, cardboard. Hazed brownish orange color, small head that stayed as a ring, minor lacing on the way down. Bitter sweet flavor, a sour bitter with hints of citrus, little tobacco. medium body creamy mouth feel, bitter dry finish. Good,aroma had some nice range. flavor was more straight forward.
