This beer doesn’t hold back. We start with as much Canadian barley as we can fit in our mash mixer, then add some toasty Munich malt and toffee-flavoured crystal malt for a rich, malty balance to the hop onslaught that follows. We cram our kettle with Centennial and Cascade hop varieties for refreshing clean bitterness and hop flavour, then dry hop in the fermenter for an aroma that will spank you right in the face. Party like its 1772!

Thanks to my father in law that brought me back a four pack of that brewery from a trip to the island. Aroma is very citrus with lemon and grapefruit. Standard IPA nose. Aroma strength; average. Appearance: Gold / Copper, slightly hazy with an enormous beige foamy head lasting for several minutes. Lacing is beautiful and sticking out marvelously well to glass. Taste: Attack is making it’s way very smoothly with a light bitterness as finish. I was waiting for a hop attack but but I got this all in smoothness, with notes of cereals, conifer, citrus. Everything got in my mouth very smoothly with an unctuous and round texture. Une IPA très douce, aux saveurs subtiles, veloutée et onctueuse. Do not expect a strong and aggressive IPA. Key word here is smoothness and tasteful. Savoureuse et très douce.

This IPA poured a light amber colour with a big, bold, very light brown coloured head. Nice lacing. To the nose there are scents of hops, hops and more hops. Citrus, juniper, pineapple and dough are the most prodominent. First swig had a creamy mouthfeel with a moderate hop flavour. Tastes of floral hops, malt and light caramel. Finish is very hoppy with the full floral flavour lingering.

A hazed amber IPA with a thick frothy mocha head. In aroma, a smooth caramel malt with floral British hops, herbal and light mint. In mouth, a nice smooth biscuit malt with grassy and piney hops, resinous, quite nice. Tasted with GRM on August 28, 2012. Merci Sylvain!

On tap at Gahan House brewpub, PEI. Pours out amber topped with a small off white head. Aroma was of light hops not like I am used to living here in the PNW. Taste was more of the light hops and sweet malts. More of a English style IPA that a smack you in the face American IPA.
