Nice IPA. very nice hops in the aroma, was the first thing that came to mind. body is nice, and balanced. Flavour is again hoppy, with really nice citrus notes. This is a nice solid IPA, not thrashing like many IPA’s i’ve had. balanced and subtle, very drinkable. good effort.

Bottle from the Beer Store. Pours a very clear medium amber with a big fluffy tan head that quickly recedes. Nose is grass and grain with a little floral hops. Sweet start with mild citrus bitterness. Light to medium mouth with average carbonation. Nothing to make this stand out.

6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a clean light amber colour with an off-white frothy head that has great retention and bubbly lacing. Nice mild floral hop nose with a little roasted malts. After breathing a bit, some caramel notes appear. The grapefruit hoppiness is present in the taste as well, and still on the mild side. Some grain shows up in the aftertaste well-blended with the smooth bitterness. A pretty refreshing Pale Ale that has a bit of a hoppy bite. Very easy-going and would have again.

Was told it was a pale ale and it’s good for that but seems too light on the hops if it’s an IPA. Still a definite hoppy presence, pleasant bitter without being over the top

Amber and hazy. Piney, earthy and a little bit caramelly aroma. Moderate bitterness and some earthy, slightly citrusy character. Ok, but not as bright as I’d prefer.

This IPA poured a nice amber colour with a smooth creamy white head. To the nose, somewhat hoppy with a slightly floral scent with alot of citrus. Lemons, oranges etc.... First taste is very hoppy with a bitter finish. Tastes of citrus are really strong along with the floral hops. A little too hoppy to drink more than one of.
