Aug 7, 2008 Bottle from the LCBO. I was excited when this came to Ontario. I love the intense hop flavors. Can’t wait to get some more beers like it.

Aug 7, 2008 A crystal-clear copper beer with a small head that doesn’t last but leaves lace. The aroma is pure fruity hops (maybe grape, lychee, some citrus). The flavor is very crisp hoppiness, finishing dry and bitter. This is a pure IPA. Nothing fancy, but delicious hops.

Aug 4, 2008 Best IPA available from the LCBO. Huge hop aroma in comparison to other Ontario offerings. Pours a beautiful golden orange with a rocky white head. Piney, resiny hops on the nose and palate. Just great, happy it here at last.

Aug 4, 2008 Nice aroma - floral and hoppy. Flavor is a bit herbal - nothing wrong with the ale, but it leaves a bit of a cloying bitterness that seems somewhat ’unnatural" for wont of a better word.

Jul 31, 2008 Bottle pours out a gold topped with a white head. A citrus aroma. A nice thick malt on this one. A great hop hit. A nice IPA.

Jul 29, 2008 Thanks to my Secret Santa for this beer. Pours a deep orange color with a frothy, lacey head. Nose of oranges, pine and honey as well...great nose. Flavor is not as hoppy as I anticipated, but they are there and they linger throughout the entire experience. Sweet malts balance it out. Good fruit flavor with a refreshing bite at the end. Easy drinking IPA. Thanks Santa!

Jul 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle - purchased at Oliver’s in Albany; pours light orange with lots of carbonation and a thin white head; crisp, pine hop aromas; drinks bitter with some sweetness in the finish, but this one is all hops; drinkable though and a little reminiscent of west coast IPA’s

Jul 27, 2008 12oz bottle from MrBendo - thanks for the nice extra, Todd! A vibrant copper/amber pour with some clear and lively carbonation. Big tangerine notes in the nose, along with just a hint of pine for bitter balance. Sweet malts are there for sure, but there’s nothing cloying or syrupy about them; in fact, they don’t so much provide contrast as resonate nicely with the fruits and pine. Very nice, refreshing IPA.
