| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2009. Clear gold pour with a solid white head. Floral hop and slightly sweet canola grain aroma, quite pungent and fresh - the taste follows, with an odd bit of acetone harshness, but still plenty of fresh cereal grain - and a really welcome funky dry hoppiness kicks in after a few seconds, this is surprisingly bitter. Chewy, bitter mouthfeel, decent carbonation, with a long grainy/herbal-acidic finish. The acetone sharpness detracts a bit, but overall a solid brew. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, medium orange body with a quick white bubbly head. Soapy orange grass hops flavour is a little bitter. Medium body. Wow, great balance overall if you ignore that soapy quality.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Cask Days 2009 @ Bar Volo, Toronto, ON: Pours amber, good beige head for a cask. Citrusy hops strong in the aroma, they seem to stand alone. That seem citrus hop note comes through in the flavour, lighter than possibly expected (unless you took a glance at the IBUs) but little malty sweetness to balance. It’s good, but happy to note some of our local Ontario brewers had IPAs that I enjoyed more. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Orange amber body with a small beige head. 3+ Mild pleasant aroma of fruity hops, light citrus. Flavour is similar, light fruity citrus, modest bitterness throughout. Average palate is just a touch light for my preference. Quite quaffable, pleasant. Cask at Volo Cask Days 2009 Enjoyit (1782), Vadum, Denmark
