does not count  May 14, 2008 Smells of fragrant hops and malt, pours with little head into a medium caramel color. I wouldn’t call the bitterness "brutal", but it is bitter and filled with a complex hop flavor. Goes down smooth and doesn’t tickle your throat. Doesn’t quite live up to its name and a bit pricey, but it’s a great tasting beer.

May 14, 2008 Draught at Circa. Really nice, medium orange color, lots of hop varieties are pronounced, by the time I finished trying to pick them out, my beer was all gone.

May 13, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a cloudy orange gold color with a big clumpy white head. The aroma is strong with citrus, pine and caramel. The flavor is hops forward with plenty of biter hops surrounded by grapefruit, sweetened pink lemonade and a touch of caramel. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is medium in duration with lingering caramel. Overall: My only complaint with this beer is that it is not brutally biter--its not even close. That aside its good stuff. Recommended.

May 12, 2008 Bottle... Poured a brilliant, foggy orange with a huge white head that lasted forever. Aroma of malt and bread. Palate is thick with carbonation, lots of hops and barley-grain flavors and some mild alcohol presence. Smooth and easy to drink.

May 12, 2008 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a nice off white head. Smells of malty hops. Not too sweet, but very hoppy. Taste is smooth with hops present. Much more bitter than traditional esb. Does not register as anything special, despite hefty price tag. Nice feel in mouth, but nothing special.

May 2, 2008 22oz purchased from LCBO in Grimsby. Nice, but slightly restrained hoppy aroma. First taste is rich, with nice fruity hops. Very nicely balanced. Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. More fruitiness in the hops than most IPAs, but not lacking in overall hop bitterness. Interesting to read that the only hop used is Crystal from Oregon.
