Good amber color with lacing. Fruity, hoppy aroma, seems like cascade taking the lead. Flavor of darkish malts, caramel. Big and well-balanced with a bitter hoppy finish. Hop-driven and well-done. 09maso3 (69), vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Pours a ruby red colour with a light brown head, that actually lasts for a little while. Aroma is pretty much citrusy hops. Flavour is sort of bitter and a little bit stale sort of. It’s fairly malty in the mouth, and finishes up a bit citrusy. There’s some spicyness in it, but not an excessive amount. It’s sort of nice at first, fairly hoppy, and sweet malts backing that up, but then it sort of finishes like old cardboard. Mouthfeel is slightly thick, but not creamy by any means. Carbonation is a bit high for the style I think. AWS9 (232), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Spicy malt aroma, with a hint of nut. Malts and nuts dominate the taste, with a hint of hops, caramel, and spice. Solid beer through and through. Skidds (252), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Taste of bitter hops and some spice. Quite carbonated. A very good local beer from Toronto which has quite a following around the area.
