This is the beer that changed my life as a beer drinker, was a canoe beer drinker before. This beer made me see the errors of my ways. If there is a perfect beer this is it. The perfect balance of malts without being overly sweet and the perfect hop bitterness without puckering your backside. Had on draught and bottle in fact if i were cut i think i would bleed 90 minute IIPA. Can’t get enough

Pours rich amber with volumious head. Moderate lacing. Nose is citrus with a hint of pear and apricot. Hops are monstrous pine and resin, but as it warms to proper temp malt backbone really plays a solid balance. Excellent crisp mouth feel with nice finish. All in all a nice ipa from an even nicer brewer.

Excellent beer! Just wish it was more easily accessible in Canada. aroma is full of floral hops and taste combines a good amount of bittering hops with some more subtle flavors of nuts and even some fruit. Smooth on the palate.

Bottle. Even though I am a malt lover, it’s beers like these that make me really appreciate the hoppy side of things. The flowery, fruity flavor and aroma seems to actually stimulate more then taste and smell. This beer is highly recommended and will drink again.

First thing you notice about this beer: it’s mointainously frothy white head.  Light carbonation in a glowing orange brew.  Thick, frothy lacing.  Aroma of cool, sweet and spicy hops.  Flavor more of the same, but very easy to drink for a double IPA.  You can’t even tell it’s 90 IBUs!  Delectably sweet flavor of raisin andfruit lingers on the tip of the tongue.  Warm on the back of the tongue, very well-rounded.  Hoppy but not in your face and sweet but not grossly sweet.  This is a treat for the tongue.

4th May 2008. Very hoppy beer but well balanced by lot of malt. As undertone of fruitiness adds complexity. Smooth and silky. Finishes bitter, slightly fruity and dry.

I’m not a hop-head - A lot of IPAs I’ve had in the past just gave me that bitter beer face and tasted like a field of weeds. Holy crap, this stuff is good. Despite the high level of hops presence, it’s totally balanced by the malty finish. Gorgeous copper color, nice bone head gives way to thick lacing, aroma has that citrusy-grassy quality of many IPAs, but it’s the flavor - delicate and bold, hoppy, malty, just plain good. Definitely an instant favorite. Wow.
