Cask@GBBF2008. Hazy amber/nutbrown colour, not much head. Aroma is US hops, spices, some nice fruityness and a bit of earth. Flavour is hops, caramel, spices and some notes of nectarine. Dry hay and grass along with spices in the finish.

Cask at GBBF 08. Hazy copper, thin bubbly beige head. Bit too earthy, probably on too early. Only a bit of carbonation. Decent hop, but just too muddy.

Pours a translucent orange with a foamy lacing white head. Aroma was mild, oranges and lemons. Flavor is certainly all spicy English hops, grass, and a touch of malt. The finish is slightly soapy and astringent. Better than the Champ Ale, but not a beer I’d repeat.

Cloudy orange pour, with lots of suspended particles, and a lasting, foamy head - kind of a musty, semi-tart aroma, with a kind of earthy quality - less of an IPA and more like a hoppy, bready belgian ale - some fruity esters and bready, yeasty quality, reminding me of an english bitter, but it has the earthy, nearly tart quality of a saison - I don’t know if it’s supposed to have these tart characteristics (it’s more than likely just going bad), but I like it for some reason.

Pours amber into a shaker. Thick off-white micro head quickly overtakes the rim and funnels up in a heap and refuses to recede. Bright pine and citrus aromas. Front to back pine and citrus with a lasting bitter finish.

Hazy red copper ale with off-white head. Pungeant hops and funky herbs. Complex sweet prunes and earthy hops, lots of grapefruits, intense bitterness and good hop finish. Rich mouthfeel. Bottle sampled with TiggMtl, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

2004 Draught @ Sunset Grill. Pours a dark brownish-mahogany with some lighter orange and golds. Very dark though for an IPA. Decent head, orange/reddish speckled white. Aroma of light toasted malt? That's certainly odd. Flavor is equally malt dominated. Sweet and malty, with a lightly chewy flavor. The hops are deep and fruity, little bitterness of which to speak. Toasty/roasty malt is detectable and a dark fruity finish (cherries, plums, blueberries, black raspberries) that is lightly watery. Medium body, low carbonation. Very interesting and certainly not bad. Chewy English IPA.
