To admit that the brewers at Half Pints are hopheads is an understatement. This India Pale Ale is unabashedly hoppy, with a grapefruit-like aroma due to a large addition of hops directly to the final tank (a process called “dry hopping”). A firm, toasted malt presence forms the background for all these hops lending balance so it’s not just a one note symphony.

Modest head and lighter lager body with a bit of decent fogginess. Aroma of hops with plenty of bread. Flavour is nice dry hops with a sour finish. A good, balanced IPA with a hint of complexity.

Decent well-rounded ipa. A little citrus, though this isn’t quite as fresh as it ought to be, and lots of malt. Pours orange with good head and lacing. Average carbonation. Finishes bitter with residual sweetness. Bottle at wvrst.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks David Cohen. Clear deep golden. Floral and citric hops aroma with subdued skunky notes. Hoppy flavor, citric and floral, with light maltiness and a nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Quite pleasant.

Bottle at National beer hall, Calgary. It pours golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is juicy citrus, tangerine, orange, light marmalade and light pine. The taste is juicy citrus, peach, apricot, tangerine, light mango, light acidity and pine, with a dry, citric finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth and pretty damn delicious.

Moyen goût fruité (agrumes sucrées, notes dabricots) accompagné dune moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches, présente toute la gorgée) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel très doux avec des notes de biscuits puis en finale on retrouve un regain damertume plus asséchante de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) avec des notes citriques (pamplemousse) et florales (faibles notes résineuses perceptibles).

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel - I find the aroma a bit too light. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and caramel, leading to a rather bitter finish.
