May 11, 2008 Golden, slightly hazy. Really spicy hop nose - beauty. Light wood and a rounded hop character, with more spices and a pomegranate hop note. I revisited this a couple of times over the CBC cause it was damn fine.

May 17, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with Foolish_Mortal (thanks!). FInally, IPA rating #400 (man it is getting hard to find IPAs I haven’t rated). Poured a medium and slighlty hazy golden / amber color with an averaged sized, bubbly off white head. Aromas of pine, earthy, and citrus. Tastes of citrus, pine, lighter earthiness, pineapples, and some caramel. Nice hops in both the aroma and taste with a nice bitter finish.

May 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to wetherell. Aroma is cara/toffee malts, grapefruity, very fruity and citrus, similar to bigfoot actually. Taste is similar, however finish perhaps finishes a bit quickly for me.

Apr 22, 2008 Draught Foxy-amber beer with a huge yellow head. USA C-hops, lemon and passion fruit. Bit metallic in the taste, but C-hops balanced by some caramelly malts; again quite fruity. Medium bodied, bit (hop?)oily, ends burning. Good IPA, ripened, which seems a problem in this brewery (see Saison,...).

Jul 16, 2008 Pours gold with a white pillowy head. Smells of resin, touches of spice, some oranges, hints of sweet malt, yeasty. Tastes bitter with some nice resiny hints and touches of sweet malt. Sometimes direct is good and this is definitely a straight shooter.

Jun 28, 2008 Big thanks to Eyedrinkale for bringing a few of these out. Orange golden beer with little head. Aroma is very hoppy. Loaded with pine and orange citrus. Bright and fresh and very tasty. Lean-bodied and dry with a nice chewy resiny spicy hoppiness. Sweet, rich and grapefruity. Delicious.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle from PUB’N. Pours hazy deep orangy with 1-finger uniform off-white head and great lacing. Nose is heavy piney hops, mango, pineapple, tangerine, caramel malt, and female gymnast feet. Tastes very piney, very hoppy, with tons of tropical citrus fruit, and a solid malt bill that falls off on the malt a bit late, but the hops and citrus fruit continue to pound the palate into oblivion. Rich, juicy palate. This one is delicious.
