Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Montreal, Canada

Bottle@Home. Nice typical American floral aroma. Amber color, hazy, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, floral, grassy. All the ingredients you’d expect. Light, tasteful and good balance. Yummy.

TAP: Fresh hop nose, dark gold color, lathery head. Creamy caramelly malt front that bursts into a powerful hop bitter across the entire mouth. Great British IPA with a New World touch to it. Excellent.

Cask at Mondial 2005. Very floral, orangey aroma with a nice floral bouquet. Smells like Simcoe and or Amarillo might be in this guy. Smells yummy whatever it is. Transparent copper/amber color with a frothy big-bubbled off-white/light tan head. Slightly citrusy to start with a bit of sweetness. Middle is creamy finishing a more bitter hopped flavor. Not bad, but I could use some more malts.

(33cl bottle) Small beige head atop clear, dark amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, caramel, some grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/orange, some caramel, nectarine/mango, light bread. Soft medium body with light acidity. Seems more like a hoppy amber than an IPA, though it’s quite tasty however it’s categorized.

11.5 oz bottle. Pours a good medium amber with a decent carbonation and a thick foamy white head and cool lace. Aroma is citrus hops, cascade, light metiallic from the cascade, lightsoapiness, god caramel malt backbone an some classic DdC earthy yeastiness which I like- almos therb and marijuana like. Flavor is more cascade metallic cat pee hops, mild caramel malt backbone, earth, more cattiness, light lemon rind, citrus even some lime-ade. Decent bitter character and good mouthfeel. Bitterness isnt as refined as I hoped and becomes a bit soapy. Nice solid IPA.

Tasting - Perfect Pour - Dark amber, creamy off white head. Rich caramel nougat and peachy pine aromas warm to soft honey spruce notes. Sugared fruity and pine hop flavors balance on a bready caramel backbone from start to finish. Loads of hop flavor without any bite. Medium bodied with pillow soft carbonation. A very different, but tasty IPA...

Bottled. Amber/burgundy coloured. Unclear. Dense ligth brown head. Aroma of pine, citrus, grass and caramel Flavour is sweet and piney. Has light fruits and a somewhat citric touch. Caramel is notable in flavour as well. Is medium bodied. Quite dry. Medium to strong bitterness in the end, but its countered well by a fresh sweetness. Very nice.

Thanks for this one Sean (illinismitty). Pours with a slightly cloudy, brownish-orange body topped by a think foamy head with a little lacing. It’s slihgtly bitter with grapefruity hop notes and a light, sweet maltiness. medium bodied and smooth yet warming.
