Light gold in colour. Citrus, pineapple, peach and grapefruit aromas on the forefront. Malt takes a backseat to the flavours from the liberal use of Amarillo, Cascade and Columbus hops in this beer.

Bottle. Hazy amber, offwhite lace. Rich tapestry of fruity hop aromatics - lychee, mango,peach, mint, lime, light onion. Slightly sticky full body - a bit resinny on the palate up front, but the fresh notes cut through that nicey. Fresh fruity and moreish finish.

Bouteille 650ml, gracieuseté de Damon lors du CanBIF Fall 2014. Couleur cuivrée translucide, mousse blanche présentant de grosses bulles. Arôme de pamplemousse, malt grillé, houblon résineux, un brin floral, orange, alcool. Goût de malt, sucré, touche d’alcool, pamplemousse, pin, bonne amertume persistante. Carbonatation faible, corps moyen-dense, presque sirupeux. Le malt et l’alcool sont tout simplement trop présent pour moi, un bière bien faite mais qui n’est pas mon type.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper color with light head and nice lacing. Aromas of orange marmalade, candied fruit, pine, rubber, and toasted malts. Flavors of bitter oranges, toffee, grapefruit/pine, and big resin. A little over the top on the resin but definitely a great DIPA.

Golden amber, fruity (berry, orange) and a decent amount if bitterness, a nice sweet malt balance, and it’s really nice for the style. Went through a few growlers of this.

Copper color, hazy, seems a bit darker than usual. The aroma is also a bit biscuity and sweaty. Definitively more biscuity caramel in the flavor, not my favorite profile for an IIPA, but very well done, and coordinated with the hops being a bit earthy and quite resiny.
Very good.

Hazy golden color with compact head. The aroma is mild, fruity hops, light sweat. It's quite sweet, The malt profile is blond, but it could be more crisp, some straw flavor; strong bitterness, moderate hop quality, bitter orange, and then some resins later. Soft mouthfeel.
Good beer, but without the brightness of the great ones.

Hazy dark blond color. A bit dank, definitively resiny, a lot of hops, and just moderate sweetness.
Very nice. A bit rough though.

Hazy deep blond color with compact head. The aroma mixes a hoppy animal character and tobacco, then some timid fruits, some tropical fruits and others more pungent. Lean mouthfeel, with moderate residual sweetness; malt and toffee flavor, with rather strong animal character and hop resins, covering some hop fruitiness, oranges; expected bitterness.
Peculiar take, fairly clean, bold but not too cloying for the style; the hop resins are in the spotlight.
