Tropical aromas of mango and pineapple matched with citrus fruits with a hint of grapefruit, on a base of biscuit malt, all bathed in accents of well-felt hop resin. Amber in color, partially veiled and strongly effervescent. Very thick off-white foam, shaving cream style and eternal persistence. The very complex malted base is offering notes of cereal, biscuit and a slightly honeyed envelope. Then comes the hop resin which imposes a frank but sweet bitterness. The hops also give us slight tropical notes and a presence of pineapple. A West Coast IPA as I like them. Complex malts. Complex and bitter hops. Solid! Aromes tropicaux de mangue et d’ananas assortis d’agrumes au soupçon de pamplemousse, sur une base de malt biscuit, le tout baignant dans des accents de résine de houblon bien sentis. De couleur ambrée, partiellement voilée et fortement effervescente. Mousse blanc cassé très épaisse, de style crème à raser et de persistance éternelle. La base maltée qui s’annonce la première en bouche est très complexe; offrant des notes de céréales, de biscuit et une enveloppe légèrement miellée. Vient ensuite la résine de houblon qui impose une amertume franche mais douce. Les houblons nous donnent également de légères notes tropicales et une présence d’ananas. Une IPA West Coast comme je les aimes. Malts complexes. Houblons complexes et bien amère. Solide! O:8.75 V:4.75 G:8.05 C:4.35 G:16.75 T:42.65

Very bitter ipa. Up front pretty hard on the palate, not my style of beer. Amsterdam Toronto

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange-copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves thick patches of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, orange, grapefruit, pineapple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, toffee, orange, grapefruit, pineapple and pine resin in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well, it didn't exactly shake my bones, but it's good.

Can. Nice. Lots of skunky hops, touch of cheese, big boozy aroma. Good stuff. Touch of caramel. Was a bit blasted at this stage.

On tap at Amsterdam Brewery TO. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Malty ipa. Some black pepper hop. It's fine but a bit too sweet. Feels punchier than it is. OK.

This IPA poured a medium amber colour with a white foamy head. minimal lacing. Scents include grass, hay and a little gravy? First swig was quite bitter with a lot of hop flavour. Too much really. Finish was way too bitter and the beer left a very astringent taste in the mouth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
