World Beer Cup Bronze Medal 2010.
This classic English-style India Pale Ale is well-balanced with exceptional drinkability. Generously hopped with Pacific Northwest Cascade and Willamette hops and finished with dry hopping of cascade flowers. Caramel and toffee notes, from speciality English malts, anchor the bitterness and deliver a well-balanced finish.

clear copper pour, small off white head.
aroma of bready, biscuit malts, and some very earthy, slightly piney hops. the body is ok, and the carb is normal. the finish is again, very earthy. pretty boring stuff, not what i would consider and IPA. Perhaps the bottle is old, but i cant tell, there is no date on it.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves thick patches of lace. Mild, sweet aroma of toasted caramel malt, orange and floral hops. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, orange peel, light grapefruit and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Easy drinking. A good English IPA, eh!

(bottle) hazy amber colour with a small tan head; aroma of cider; weird flavour - almost like it was not fermented properly; could be a bad bottle, I dont think it was sealed properly

This IPA poured a medium amber colour with a quickly dissipating, bright white head. Scents include pineapple, spruce and grassy hops, sweet malts and little cereal. First sip was smooth with a medium bitterness and lots of hop flavours. Light to medium body with quite a lingering hop flavor on the palate.

66cl Bottle, thanks H&T! Clear copper/amber colour, white head. Aroma of malts, some caramel, light hops. Flavour is medium-sweet, malty, some caramel, light bitter fruity hoppy finish, a bit floral. Light-bodied. ’Eh..

From the LCBO, in the BC Craft Brewers Guild Natural Selections 6-pack. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a big frothy beige head, good retention and thick patchy lace. Aromas of toasted cereals, caramel malts and citrusy hops. Smooth silky mouthfeel and medium-bodied. The taste is kind of weird at first with the rusty hops, but it does get better with time. Malty, but the bitterness kicks in eventually. Still, not the best balanced IPA. The Lighthouse Switch back IPA in the same pack is much better.

Sample @ Viti Liquor Store, Vancouver, BC
Pours orange. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Sticky taste with notes of honey and fruits. Sweet finish. Okay.

Barely any head on this one and a decent brown body. Lots of sharp hoppiness on the nose, as could be expected. Flavour is a hint of lemon and plenty of hops with a wet and bitter finish. It’s an okay IPA, but unexceptional.

Bottle. Hazy red amber, white layer. Moderately hopped, wellbalanced, ok chewy mouthfeel, grassy finish. Easy and pleasant drinking beer.

Hazy amber color, small head. The aroma is hoppy, earthy and a bit puckery. Light body, dry caramel flavor, with strong bitterness. Bitter Ale, but less interesting than on draught.
2010-03-28, draught at Memphis Blues BBQ, Vancouver, 6-4-7-4-13=34
Amber color; small creamy head. Mild hop aroma, lightly smokey. Caramel flavor, with a quite dry mouthfeel; good bitterness; maybe a bit metallic in the end. A pleasant introduction to IPAs.
