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.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottled at Ørsted Ølbar, Copenhagen. Clear copper colour, creamy head. Grapefruity lychee-like hop aroma. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Fresh hops supported by caramelly malt. Above medium bodywith evident crystal malt character. Lots of hop aroma, less bitterness.

Aug 16, 2008 Compliments of my friends DrBayern (Thanks Matt!!!!), expensive 11.5 oz beer, poured nicely a medium dark and hazy coppery malt. Aroma of hops, malts, and grapefruit. Flavour is both full bodied and bold beer. An excellent American version of IPA, I must admit. Sorry, most canadian beer to me is pussy beer, except for a few. This is a superb and wonderful ale from our friends in Canada. I would love to try it on tap. Awesome beer!

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a 2 finger tan head and delicate lacing. Nose is toasted malts and citrus. Taste is more toasted malt, pine, and grapefruit. Medium mouth feel. Tastes a bit different than its American counterpart, but still enjoyable. A nice, clean finishing IPA.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Strong aroma of hops, malt and fruit. I got some berries to. amber in colour with a decent head that sticks to the glass. Flavoursome ale, full of hops, malt and fruit. Little smoked finish. Little to sweet for me for an IPA but still pretty dam good. I’m liking this brewery.
Blom (605), Odense, Denmark
Aug 15, 2008 Hazy orange-red with a dense and beautiful head that continues into lacings. The aroma is wonderful, full of pine and orange - like a Swedish wood in spring time. And the flavours do not dissapoint either, being nicely hopped with notes of grape and a bit of metal. All of this is perfected by a soft palate, almost like whipped cream.
