Jun 3, 2009 A very solid IPA. Lots of hops on nose, tounge, aftertaste and more. Another bigtime hop guy from RR. An almost orange color, a nice fluffy off-white head. A slightly varamel sweet taste to compliment the piney-citrus hops.

Jun 2, 2009 Bottle (500ml). Shared by tupalev with me, blankboy, garthicus and gregclow. Ah, THIS is an IPA (take notes, Beaus). Slightly hazy orange with a solid frothy lasting off-white head. Lush aroma - pungent "cat pee" (that’s a good thing) bitterness and juicy citrus malt backing - facking hell, that smells terrific. Taste of mild grapefruit pith, orange zest, quite a shifting medley of hop bitterness - only mild alcohol, overall very light and balanced, a real "drink it for hours" IPA. Fairly light body, a little acidic, mildly carbonated and not at all boozy, up front or in the tail - pungently bitter, and it takes quite a while to finish - just what a drinkin’ IPA should be. Are you paying attention, Ontario craft brewers? Wake UP!!

May 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice golden-amber color with a light-medium sized white head. Pine and citrus become apparent immediately after pour. Surprisingly a little more sweet than I expected. Goes down nice, light-medium bodied. A nice brew.

May 26, 2009 Pours a very light amber with nice single finger white head. Aroma is candy sweetness and funky pine hop notes. Taste is far milder than I had assumed it would be. Words almost fail me right now. This beer is perfectly balanced. Definitely not too bitter, as many IPA’s seem to be more bitter than hop flavor focused. Bitterness still accumulates the more you drink it, but that can’t really be avoided in an IPA. The hop flavors are perfectly balanced by a nice, crisp amber malt taste. Very refreshing. This is one nice IPA. I wish that I’d bought more.

May 22, 2009 Bottle thanks to MrBunn. Pour is a creamy orange with a nice head. Smells strongly of grapefruit. Taste is the same, mostly grapefruit with a sour note that reminds me of an unripe orange. this seems to get better the more I drink it, and find myself wanting A LOT more.

May 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy light orange. Aromas of fresh citrus and a little mango or something. Flavor is a good mix of caramel malt, grapefruit and oranges with a little bit of abv warmth.
