Bottle from the lcbo. Cloudy copper pour, with a large off white head. Aroma is lots of toffee, lightly toasted caramel malts, and some pine resin. This tastes old, any citrus notes are long gone, just toffee, sticky malts and some pine resin left. Alcohol is present in the finish, low bitterness.

Bottle. Hazy orange, offwhite low head. Cheesecake citrus and tropical hops. Medium body, sparkly, a bit buttermilk smoothie on the tongue. Metallic grapes and melonrind, limepeel, ginger, a hint crystal meth, fizzlestick finish. In the end actually not as sticky as most DIPAs.

Pours a slight hazy golden-amber colour with a big warm cap, long lasting with creamy-foamy lacing. Fruity aromas from the citrus hops and some notes of coriander. The taste is grassy with the hops with a real dry finish. A very dry and bitter Imperial IPA.

Bottle from the LCBO. Cloudy medium amber with a lingering, one finger, off white head leaving patchy lace. Nose is light honey, caramel, some citrus, peach and some pine. Light+ toffee sweetness supporting a medium+ resinous bitterness, Mouth is medium+ and sticky with average carbonation. Alcohol is quite obvious in the finish. I'm sure this would be better closer to the sources. 7/4/7-/4/14
