Can from the LCBO. Hazy yellow pour, with a small white head. Aroma has some light citrus, but is also musty. Hints fo lemon zest, and some grapefruit, but nothing exceptional. Mouth feel is good, carb is solid. Finish is light to medium bitter, with soft hop/grassy notes and some light fruit.

This IPA poured a light amber colour with a foamy, bright white head. Medium lacing. Scents include lemon citrus, grass and cream. First swig was smooth and quite bitter with flavours of hops and hay. Finish is quite bitter with grass flavours lingering.

Keg at Ottawa Winter Brewfest. Disclaimer: This event used plastic cups, which may have prevented my ability to fully appreciate this beer. Hazy amber, rich firm head. Fruity nose with light grapefruit. Sweet with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Syrup, grapefruit and pine. Resiny bitter finish.

Enjoyed at the Loon. Pours a golden-amber colour with a creamy warm cap, lasting the whole time and creating a bunch of ring of creamy lace. Nice hoppy scent with caramel malts. Same for taste with the hops a little stronger. Good bitterness in the finish with some dryness. Good IPA, not a hopbomb one, that goes down nicely.

Tasting at Matt’s; can
Light amber color. Butter all over the place, some vegetables, some caramel flavor; this is basically undrinkable.

500mL can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is a nasty buttery diacetyl bomb - gross. Flavour is nasty, with a disgusting diacetyl bomb. Unbearable infection.

Nice session IPA. Pours gold with good head and lacing. Bitter finish with some citrus, average carbonation. Sampled at the Winterbrewed festival in Ottawa.

A blonde IPA with a thin white head. In aroma, good bready biscuit malt with grassy piney hops, St Ambroise style. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with nice floral hops, light grapefruit, well done.
