Nov 2, 2009 341 mL. Pours a ridiculously hazy dark orange with a two-finger, rocky, tan head. Yeast particles bouncing around. Good, sheety lacing. Aroma is strawberry cheesecake, giant caramel, butterscotch. Taste is a bit bland; there is a big nutty bitterness throughout reminiscent of a stale IPA. But not much else. Very watery body. Taste is a bit sour, even a bit salty with something like a dirty martini in the finish. Would like to try this fresh.

Oct 29, 2009 Updated: Oct 30, 2009341mL bottle from the LCBO, that would not have been at my LCBO if I hadn’t ordered them, you’re welcome KW as this is all we’re going to see of the DDC stuff. Just saying. Pours a nice darker goldish amber with a large rocky white head. The aroma smacks of American style IPA-ness, great grapefruity piney hops with some nice caramalt underneath. Flavour has a great hop bite upfront met with some good malty sweetness and then a hoppy flavoured finish and aftertaste without the same initial bitter bite. The body has a nice thicker feel to it but is still light and only has a trace of the ABV. Earthy aftertaste. Lingering flavour of awesomeness (sometimes refered to as hops). Probably the closest thing I’ve had from a Canadian brewer to a true West Coast styled IPA. Super solid beer.

Oct 26, 2009 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass better. Darker than exspected, nice creamy head. Starts very, very hoppy, quite dry and woody. Also grasy notes. Finish a little bit floury, still flowery-hoppy, very intense. Really good!

Oct 26, 2009 This is a very complex and lovely IPA, it has really nice floral and perfumy notes on the nose, and a full and rich flavor and mouthfeel. It reminds me of dogfish head 90 minute without the sweetness. Very nice lacing, and pours kind of an iced tea color.

Oct 25, 2009 Dark amber appearance with a strong hop aroma. Full bodied. There is a strong hop flavor and a subtle malt base.

Oct 23, 2009 Pours dark amber with a beige head. Aroma is seriously of hops, taste is more of grass and pine with some grassy hoppy flavours. Very full bodied, powerful and delicious.

Oct 16, 2009 Like a lot of the Quebec IPAs this one is very malty. Yet unlike many of the others it still has the crisp flavour typical of the IPA style. Fairly bitter and the malt and hops are not quite balanced but nevertheless still a decent IPA.
