Big fresh hop and bready malt nose. Lots or fresh tastes here - sweet chewy malt, fruity hops including lemon and tropical fruit elements, and a touch of soapiness. Fresh and zesty.

It is a classical IPA. The taste is bitter, citrus, hop, malt. The body is copper, white and thin foam. It is refreshing, 27.06.2016, drinking it probably at Shanghai.

Old rating - A 330ml bottle, pours a amber colour with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of citrus & fruits. Light to medium body. Medium to strong bitter finish. A reliable classic which still is a good bet even after the sell out. Enjoyable

Bottle on the night bus en route home post-FFB. Metallic notes, some herbal, earthy bitterness with a touch of citruses and some sweet malts. Thin in body and got that industrial beer-vibe to it all over. Nah.

6er from the lcbo. Clear copper pour, with a small white head. Very bready aroma, light toasted nuts with alot of pine resins. Full mouthfeel, subtle carb. The finish is fruity, and slightly citrusy, wirh some more beady malts. Not bad, not great.

Aroma of malt, some caramel, tropical fruits, pine, mild hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. A nice mild IPA. --- Rerate. I don't know if this beer has detriorated over the years, but my taste has probably evolved and I've become more critical. This IPA doesn't satisfy me like it used to, it seems pretty unfresh with mostly floral hops and lacking fresh fruity hops.

Аромат весьма неплох, легкая цитрусовая, хорошие еловые нотки. Цвет чуть светлее обычного, пенка маленькая но стойкая. Вкус сразу удивляет своей солодовостью. По началу идут совсем легкие нотки цитруса. После глотка идет весьма резкая и продолжительная хмелевая-еловая составляющая.
