500ml bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy and minimally resinous hoppy aroma, notes of grapefruit and orange, caramel malty basis. Taste is biting bitter hoppy, fruity, minimally tart, notes of grapefruit, some bitter orange, some resin. Very concentrated, slightly monotonous.

Private SAQ import. Pours a cloudy golden-amber colour with a great white, creamy-foamy head, great retention and lots of thick soapy lacing and sediments. Smells hoppy at first, with some dark grass, but then the grainy malts appear, adding caramel notes, honey and oranges. The hop is bitter in the taste, but not too overpowering, with hints of oranges. Was not a fan of the hop aromas at first, but this beer is quite drinkable and well-balanced.

Bottle: Poured a amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and bitter hops is dominant. Taste is dominated by citrus hops with medium bitterness with a medium dose of caramel malt. Body is about average of style with good carbonation. Standard citrus hops oriented IPA with a bit too much sweetness and caramel in the malt backbone.
