Oct 18, 2009 In short: A sweet IPA with a not-so-dominating floral and fruity hopping. Kind of boring.
How: Bottle 22oz, consumed fresh soon after purchase on the west-coast. Tasting session with Montreal crew.
The look: Cloudy blonde-orange body topped by a very small white head
In long: Floral perfumy nose with soapy notes. Boring crakers-like maltiness with a lot of sweetness. Floral and fruity hops lack assertiveness. Some minerals. A short fruity bitterness but not enough to push the sweetness away. I might just be me because I think I was the only one who really didn’t care for this beer at our tasting. Total Deception IPA.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle from Hashigo Zake. Pours Hazy golden amber, thin off white head. Citric aroma of grapefruit, lemon, sweet malt and pine.
Flavour is full of fruit. initial sweetness is overtaken by bitter hops near the finish making this quite the balanced drop. Like fruit juice with a long bitter finish.

Sep 30, 2009 GABF 2009, Medium yellow/orange pour. Notes of leafy weedy hops, Hop dominated, slight hop harshness, perhaps a hint of malts are needed to cut that, OTW a pretty good IPA

Sep 27, 2009 Not a lot of hops in the aroma. Good appearance. Flavor is a quite spicy hop. A good flavor from start to finish and a solid IPA.
