Aug 20, 2009 On tap at Cole’s, oddly enough. Amber with a small head. This beer smells very fresh, with lots and lots of citrus from the hops. The malt backbone is very solid, and there is even some chocolate in there. Body is quite full, especially for an IPA. An interesting one.

Aug 20, 2009 [2406-20090801] Growler. Hoppy grassy rich toast aroma. Clear, light amber brown body with a quick bubbly white head. Rich hoppy grass flavour seems lightly toasted. Medium body is bitter. Great hoppy, rich and wow.

Aug 16, 2009 Enjoyed on tap at Coles. A very good IPA. Some hop aroma. Dark cola colour with edges of light, and a big bubbly white head. Big hoppiness, DIPA level, yet still gentle on the palate. Lace dots. Very drinkable.

Aug 10, 2009 Growler at BCTC 2009: Thanks swoopjones. Deep rusty copper pour with a dense tan film. Fruity hop aroma- some tropical fruit hop character (Amarillo?) along with some crystal malt grains. Creamy body. Grainy in the flavor with a dry crystal malt presence. Both fruity and resinous with a mango/peach presence and a moderately bitter finish. A solid IPA.

Growler at BCTC. Pours a hazy brown with ruby highlights and a thin white head. Hoppy, full of pineapple. Medium bodied, sweet with some caramel notes and a touch of grapefruit bitterness. Finishes with even more grapefruit pithy bitterness.

Jul 27, 2009 This is a blend of Iniquity and ST IPA. Wonderful IPA hoppy character with a little darker malt adding some hints of chocolate. VERY tasty and drinkable at Coles, far better than bottled iniquity.

Jul 22, 2009 Tap at Coles. Pours a medium to deep woody amber- wand a nice fluffy head. Aroma is nicely floral citrus hops, slight sharp big burnt malt, or nutty chocolate, with some good fruity esters and fruity hops balancing out. Flavor is slight sharp caramel and sweet upfront but lots of good hops in there as well. Piney- citrus, and a cold smoke resinous big c hoppiness. Resinous and a bit tacky in the finish- good stuff.
