An Ontario hop classic, Mad Tom hits the mark with fresh and engaging hops and some strong balances among tastes. The hop profile is fresh and punchy, featuring pine, grapefruit, fruit rind and a splash of lemon. Sweet biscuit malt, a touch of pepper and a strong medium intensity effervescence add to the bite of the flavour, but all in proportion. Don’t change this recipe!

Good citrus hoppy nose, witha touch of sulphur, a la dogfish head 60 minute. The is a really nice grainy malt bill mixed in with those pungent hops. Very very good ipa for ontario.

Schöne Zitrusnoten in der Nase, optisch trübes, dunkles Gelb, ordentlich Schaum, gefällt mir. Im Trunk hopfig, harzig, leicht butterig, dezent Pinien, bittersweet, fast schon süffig, passt.

At YYZ airport while massively delayed for a connecting flight to Madrid. Pours clear copper with large oatmeal head. Slight patterns. Malt and citrus aroma. Flavor shows more of the malt, with citrus restrained in the back but nice.

Pours a bright copper with full foamy head. Aromas of toffee, candied fruit, grassy hops, and bready malts. Full flavors follow same with addition stoned fruit and more grassy hops. A bit of resin on the finish. Very good IPA.
