drpimento (499), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Sep 4, 2008 Like this much better than the PA from the same brewery. Still leaning towards the Brit style of hoppy ale. Lighter in color than the PA as well. More head and lace too. Alcohol is very noticable. Biscuity character of the Munich malt stands out. Ok beer. DuffMan (1939), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Aug 27, 2008 Similar in structure to the pale ale malt-wise, but with a more astringent hop bitterness dominating the palate. I preferred the pale ale for overall balance and drinkability. jmm635 (59), Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottled. Pours a clear amber color with an orange tint. Foamy white head that lasts! Aroma is hoppy with a slight scent of lemon and orange peels. Flavor is sweet hops, and the palate is light bodied and easy to drink. Pretty solid. Boutip (1769), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Aug 20, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light brown color ale with some orangey notes and nice foamy head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of very light bitter hops which are disappointing considering the style. Taste is a mix between a bland light caramel malt profiles with a very light bitter finish. I expect some bitter or citrus flavour in my IPA which I didn’t get here. I have to admit that this one was a big disappointment. DrDavid (187), , Vermont, USA Aug 18, 2008 (Bottle). Mild citrus hop aroma. Copper color with white head. Flavor surprised me somewhat; nicely balanced bitterness, with some flavorful citrus blend. Astringent finish. Not bad.
