KyotoLefty (113), Kyoto, Japan Aug 27, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008Cask at Volo and C’est What? in Toronto. Smooth as silk from the handpump. Nice golden malt flavor with caramel and fruit. Great hops all the way from nose to finish. Aromatic and bitter. fabulously hoppy but keeps the balance all the way through. Enjoyable.
Imperial-John (91), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Aug 18, 2008 Deep cloudy amber with white head. Ratings are anywhere from dark yellow to copper, strange. Served at room temp at Rhino on tap. Great intense hoppy malt aroma. So smooth and creamy, not too bitter in taste. Very easy drinking with a nice aftertaste. Rastacouere (5270), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Aug 10, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A less bright and darker IPA example than the hop addict though I did not try this one from the hand-pull.
I like:
Confidently straightforward. Simple, but assumingly so. Citrus oriented IPA of obvious American lineage. Light-bodied and easy to drink.
I dislike:
Does not have the pleasant freshness of its hop addict peer. Headless. Rather murky appearance. Rather astringent hop bite. Dull malt base.
yumyum (55), barrie, Ontario, Canada Jul 31, 2008 from cast at c’est what. pours dark golden colour with great aroma. Grassy with hint of citrus. Very slmooth drink especiallly since it was from a cask. Very nice summer brew. Sledge Jr (2716), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jun 24, 2008 Cask version on tap at C’est What? Incredible green freshly mown yard grass aroma. Outstanding smoothness. Banana-gold hazy yellow with a big white head. Surprisingly large head for a cask beer! This is flat-out delicious.
