From my dear Canadian brother, bomber: Pours a really dark colour for a DIPA; it is kind of a light brown colour with a beige head of small stature. Kind of a weird aroma that doesn’t really indicate how the beer will actually taste. Kind of malty aroma, with not really that much hops. Taste is plenty bitter from all them hop jawns. It is also quite malty. Sort of a beer that is cranked up, but without being cranked to a proper equilibrium. Alcohol is well covered, however. Not my favourite. Sorry dear brother.

Pours with a huge, solid, undulating head and a copper-yellow body with plenty of carbonation. The aroma is sweet hops and some bitter hops as a finish. Sampled at 20.1 celsius it has a hoppy citrus character but the mouthfeel is bad - all that alcohol and what made it lingers too long on the tongue. Out of balance, and an okay beer, but there are better double-IPAs out there.

A fertile hoppy flavour that progresses in your mouth, from a herbal bitterness to a sharp, enduring bitter. Seems to gain power for the next 15 seconds or so after swallowing.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrus and piney hops with loads of resinous notes is quite powerful. Taste is also dominated by loads of citrus and floral notes with some solid notes of pines and resin. Malt backbone is quite solid with light caramelized notes. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well brewed and interesting though a bit stale and I think this would have been better had it been released sooner form the LCBO.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of citrus and bitter hoppy notes is very nice. Taste is also a good mix between some lightly sweet caramel malt notes with some citrus and bitter hoppy notes dominating. Body is quite full with good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very nice beer though less bitter notes and more floral notes would have been better IMHO.

Originally rated July 2006. This premium long-aged blonde ale pours a light yellow colour with a white foamy head that stays a bit and creates a small amount of lace in spots. Carbonation is quite alive with bigger bubbles. Big nose of grainy malts and biscuit. Creamy and watery at the same time. There is a metallic flavour in the taste that bugs me. Other than that, good grainy malt with a nice hoppy grass finish that is kind of dry. At least no metal in the aftertaste. Nothing impressive, but worth a try.
