Sampled from the tap at the taproom. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces nicely. Aroma has notes of citrus and grass with caramel and bread backing. Flavor has resin and earthy citrus with bread and a touch of caramel backing.

Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and has good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts bring modest sweetness. Hops are a rich dry pithy orange. Dried fruits. Mild spice. Orange peel. Light dry bitterish finish. Drinkable but it lacks brightness.

22oz bottle, bought by and shared with my son on 21st May 2016. Amber bodied with an off-white head. Hoppy blend with a healthy malt base which gave the brew a semi-sweet and semi-bitter flavor, decent stuff.

Tasting at Matt’s, tagged 15239 RUH
Hazy amber color, reddish, with very small head. A bit of malt aroma. Strong mouthfeel, a bit oily, sweet, some caramel, orangey hops, and definitively too old, not worth investigating more, but there’s no date on the bottle.

Draft at Belmont Station. Oily copper pour with a fading fizz head. Tropical fruit heavy hop aroma. Flavor is a heavy earthy hop up front. Thick body, soft citrus. Late palate of mango, and pineapple. Some pine. Pretty good.

Bottle from Uptown. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. A big fresh fruity nose. Marmalade, tea, caramel, a sort of soft fruity core, little bitterness. Really spot on for a British IPA rather than a west coast one. Mild, malty, soft. A sort of harsh higher alcohol finish which is quite slight. Solid.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy amber orange with almost no head -- that can't be right. Aroma brings out orange marmalade, some resin, and sweet syrupy caramel. Flavour is very sweet and fruity, with orange marmalade, sweet syrupy caramel and a little resin. Doesn't seem the freshest, but it's too sweet regardless. It also has a very flat palate. Might've been better a month or so ago, but this is off the mark. The flat palate and high sweetness are a turn-off for me.

22oz bomber pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin dirty white head. The aroma first seems like an aged IIPA but then spicy to resiny hops blended with earthy tea and thin fruity sweetened citrus hops start to show up as it warmed. The taste delivers lightly sweetened woody spices, earthy tea and faint fruity hoppiness. This gets resiny and bitter and a just bit juicy at times. Nice. I like this blend of hops and the more I drink the more I like.
