A hazy orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet grassy and hoppy. The flavor is sweet grassy combined with slight notes of metal and citrus.

2005 bottle, I assume, maybe late 2004, from Sammy, consumed 6/5/04. Standard copper-orange color, with big off-white head, decent retention, and tons of lacing, as it is unfiltered, which is encouraging to see. No real lacing, though it could be the glass. Nose of grapefruit rind, loose-leaf paper, lemon, no caramel. A bit of dry grainy malt. Begins with dry pale malt, which attempts to back the huge hops bitterness and dryness. Perfumey flavor, light dough and grapefruits mix together. Zesty, but natural carbonation. Medium body. Grapefruit lingers. Some toasty grains. Gets a bit chewy after it has breathed. Strange, as this one is ridiculously bitter, but I really enjoyed it, in part due to the low filtration, no doubt.

Bottle: Poured a clear medium brown color ale with a huge bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma is quite dominated by bitter hops. Taste is also dominated by bitter hops leaving not enough places for floral hops to really come out. Good but lacking a few thing to be great.

Bottle from LCBO ottawa. Amber ale with a nice off-white head, creamy and proteinaceous. Pleasant pinhey hops aroma, slightly sweet. Fresh hops biscuits with a nice crisp c-hop in mid tasting. Nice citrus lingering in finish. However, a bit lacking in body, a bit too light, and I agree with the others below, would gain having a bit more malt., would make the mouthfeel longer.

Dark amber in colour with a thin white head. Smells of fruit and hops. Pretty nice aroma! Medium-bodied; Strong grapefruity hop flavour with an excellent balance of malt. Aftertaste very bitter from the hops and fairly clean from the malt. Overall, a very nice and bitter IPA, one definately worth trying! I had this pint on draught at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, Ontario on 13-September-2003 with Josh (Oakes) and Scott (Publican).

Dark amber; richly hoppy, resiny aroma and palate. Hops are almost sticky, and there are tons of 'em. The best part is, after all the hops, you get a little touch of malt in the end to mellow it out. That way you make sure to order another.
