Can: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light bitter hops with dry malt notes. Taste is a light mix of subtle bitter hops with a medium-sweet malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation. This one is seriously lacking a hop punch.

Gold-copper body with okay head that’s gone just too fast. Sampled at 13.4 celcius. Soft aroma of malts with some hoppy finishes on the back end. Flavour is a lot of maltiness with a dry hoppy finish. Okay mouthfeel, a little fake lager-ish though. Nice and well balanced.

Sample from can at the Strange Brew Tasting on 02/18/2012. This brew pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium white head that burns away steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Light grassy hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with a mildly bitter hops character and notes of bready malt and fruit in the background. The finish is short and leaves a fruity hops aftertaste. Average overall.

pretty hoppy,though not sure how much of an IPA it is - the bottle certainly doesnt say anything. Its pretty decent in my mind, if a bit overpriced due to the fancy bottle.

The brewer’s description says this is a hop bomb. Hoppy yes, hop bomb no. Golden-amber colour with a slight haziness from minuscule particles floating around (says "Not pasteurized" and to "keep refrigerated"). Its head is huge, off-white, frothy and foamy with great retention and a bit of lace. The hop is felt in the aromas with notes of caramel malt and a little alcohol warmth. Smooth oily mouthfeel with a small amount of dryness in the finish. Grapefruit citrus taste, pine and fruity malts complete the taste. Fresh apples come out in the aftertaste. Pretty good brew overall and more hoppy than most macros. Just not a hop bomb (at 47 IBU).

From my dear brother: Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is of fruitiness (mellow citrus mostly) and hoppiness. Beer is fairly hoppy (not quite hop slaughter, but it got the inclination of going in that direction). Fairly well-balanced as well. A little bit of sweetness rings through as well. This is a fairly standard IPA, but a very drinkable one at that.

This IPA poured a cloudy amber colour with a nice, big, bright white frothy head. to the nose there are scents of hopps, pineapple, spruce and juniper with beef stew and dough too. First sip was nice and smooth with nice bitterness with flavours of hopps not overdone. Flavours of citrus adn spruce with a bitterish finish with the hop flavour lasting awhile.

A hazed orange amber alew oth a thick frothy light moka head. In aroma, a very herbaceous hops, lightly infected, but with some Fantome qualities, sweet fruity esters, quite nice. In mouth, a sweet malt with with nice hops, light grapefruits, again, very Belgian esters. Surprising. Thanks Karl.

Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée-cuivrée et voilée. Nez moyennement fruité (pommes, léger de mangue, notes de fruits tropicaux) et de houblon herbeux herbes fraîches) aux notes florales et citriques et léger de grains de malt aux notes terreuses avec des traces de noix. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Léger goût fruité (léger de pommes, notes d’abricots, traces d’agrumes et de mangue) accompagné dune légère amertume de houblon floral (présent en arrière-goût toute la gorgée) et de traces d’épices lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt légèrement terreux, de biscuits, léger de pâte de pain avec des notes de céréales fraîches (faibles traces rôties) puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain d’amerttume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) aux faibles notes citriques avec de petites traces de noix asséchantes. Post-goût moyen et aux petites notes sèches et terreuses, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec des traces de noix et de fruits.
