Has a poignant citrus nose on a light golden body with a fairly thin white head. The \"big C\" hops deliver with fruity hops. Grapefruit is present, but not overpowering, backed up by a very juicy mixture of other citrus and tropical hop accents. A west-coast-IPA-style sweet bready malt effectively underpins this punchy IPA. A simple but very tasty beer.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of bitter hops with nice citrus notes and light piney undertones. Taste is also dominated by bitter hops with some nice citrus notes and some light caramel malt notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Very solid IPA that should be made available more regularly.

Pours a cloudy golden, finger of foam that sheets down quickly. Heavy on the hops with a nose of citrus and pine. First taste blasts you with bitter hops,. but a couple of gulps later it smooths out for a little grass and citrus to work into that overall bitter profile. I know that IPA are all the rage, but he who adds the most hops shouldn’t win, and this beer, while not bad, isn’t a winner with me.

650ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy pale orange with a small off white head that leaves good lace. Big nose of citrus with light background of toast. Bitter from start to finish with grapefruit dominant and enough sweet malts and a touch of honey to smooth things out a bit but the hops are the star. Medium slick body with nice carbonation and a great dry bitter finish that just keeps going. Love it.

Bomber from the LCBO, from their "Tank Ten" series at 7.0% ABV. Pours a slightly hazy, golden-amber colour, with a creamy off-white head that has great retention. Soft hoppy nose with all of the great fresh typical IPA notes; grapefruit, grass, other citrus, spices, all with some sweet malts and warming alcohol. Nicely balanced mouthfeel between wet and mildly dry in the finish. The sharp bitterness in the finish, is still mild overall. Again, well-blended between the sweet malts and the fruity hops. Very well-done IPA, that is not over-the-top, but has all the character of one.

Pours golden clear with good head and lacing. Smells nice and fruity. Finishes mildly bitter, actually less than the devil made me hop it pale ale I just had from Great Lakes. Pretty thick consistency. Tap at,volos.
