The IPA was fashioned to survive the long voyage from England to India during the British colonization. Hops, hops, and more hops! Red Racer IPA has an intense aroma and a long lingering finish. A beer for the connoisseur, this is the brewmaster’s choice.

Bottle shared at Leighton’s place. Many thanks to Paul for this one. Orange / light amber coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is sweet, orange, floral, light pine needle hop, bit weird on the nose. Flavour is composed of light caramel, biscuit, chewy malts with orange rind and pine. Palate is sticky, hop resin, moderate carbonation. Decent ipa.

Can split at 44 Bespin Gardens, thanks to Paulo, 03/08/15. Golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is juicy hops, orange pith, mandarin, tangerine, pine, grassy vibes. Taste comprises pine needle, grapefruit, juicy hops, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop spattering in the close. Decent IPA.

Bottleshare at Leighton’s Stratoflat. Can, thanks to Paul. Lightly hazy gold beer, small off white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Light malts, touch of sweetness. Hops start with smooth pine followed by light hop skunk and a little citrus. Bitterness blossoms strongly in the finish, getting a metallic tang. Not bad, finish a bit awkward.

Can shared at Leightons. It pours clear orange with a small white head. The nose is sweet, juicy orange, apricot, peach, nectarine, earth, brioche, orange muffin and bready malt. The taste is crisp, rather bitter, orange rind, toasty grass, dank grassy vibe, spice, grapefruit and varnish with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Crisp and tasty. Good bitterness. Very drinkable.

355 ml can. Pours a slightly hazy, medium orange with a medium, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet, fruity aroma of grapefruit, peach and caramel malt with a hint of pine. Sweet fruity flavour of grapefruit, peach, mango, grass and a hint of caramel malt with a very dry, bitter, hoppy, resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A very pleasant surprise.

Draught @ Bier Markt Ottawa. Pours hazy ambet with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and hops, with citric and fruity notes. Bittet, hoppy flavour with notes of needles and touches of malt and yeast. Fruity hints. Bitterish aftertaste with hints of yeast. Drinkable and refreshing but not top notch.

CAN 473 ML from bunget. Clear golden-amber, white frothy head. Big malts, citrus hops in the background. No resins, no pine Bold, but too simple. The taste is sweet, rich malts, caramel, strong bitterness that is malt-dominated. Good, but too sweet.

Can from On the Fly. Pours out with nice fluffy head, orange golden body with tons of fine bubbles, very active carbonation. Head leaves clumpy lacing. Gentle aroma equal parts apple fruitiness and piney hops. Taste brings in more crisp happiness, some malt sweetness. Finishes kind of dry, a hint of metallic notes, but still excellent.

12 oz can poured. Listed as Red Betty Northwest IPA. Gotta love these solid IPAs in a can that you can buy with pocket change. Pours a bright copper color with a ton of foam head and sticky lace. Mild orange, citrus hops aroma. A little toasty as well. Very tasty IPA. Quite impressed.
