Cask days 2011.
Hmmm...hops? Hello? You in there? Light grassy floral notes, cereal malts, light bitterness. Hmmm.., maybe an amber ale? Its weak for an ipa.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Mild aroma of toasted caramel malt, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, grapefruit and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Kind of boring, could use more kick.

Can from LCBO. Slightly hazy golden amber color big fluffy white head. Toasted caramel aroma. Taste is bittersweet and peppery caramel. Definitely not sessionable, as it says on the can, at 5.7%.

0,473 l can bought at a LCBO in Mississauga. Honey golden in the glass, one finger white head. Floral hopy as expected on the nose. Taste starts the same, than increasing pine and resin. English malts in the background. Longlasting bitter aftertaste. Okay.

Keg at Manx Pub, Ottawa. Almost clear pale amber, small head. Restrained grapefruit aroma. Dryish with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Piney grapefruit that turns into powerful resiny bitterness. A straightforward hop bitterness assault.

Can from Loblaws. Hazy orange body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tangerine, caramel and grass. Flavour of grapefruit, sweet malts and steel. Thin to medium body with a watery texture. Light fizz. A mild, sugary IPA.

It’s not too often that I see my regulars giving a higher rating for a beer than the crowd, but in this case a 3.3 from Freaky_tiki makes it interesting. This beer was chosen for my by my daughters as a birthday present, so take note cartoons on a can are a real draw fro 3 and 5 year old girls. Pours a rich, clear golden with a reliable finger of head. Nose is very malty with sunny hay with syrup in the nose that overlays any hops. Taste is equally heavy on the malts, with mild sweetness and heavier on the bittering hops which linger. Not much of an IPA, especially by today’s hop-bomb standards, but drinkable. I suppose it’s training wheels approach to hops is the sessionable part of this beer, rather than the booze level. Personally I don’t care about the IBU if they are well balance, as I’ve given hop-adverse folks hop-bombs that they love, so maybe training wheels shouldn’t be necessary.

(can) clear, amber colour with a small beige head; aroma of fruit compote; simple, balanced flavour (that is if you can find any flavour), I have had brown ales with more hops than this...
