Can from LCBO at Ian's in Toronto. Slightly hazy golden-orange pour. Aroma is somehow fizzy - very orange zesty and hoppy. Good. Taste is more straight resiny orange peel hoppy, very bitter and sharp. Less malt to balance. Body is a bit on the light side. Good lighter, orangier IPA.

Can from thr LCBO. Dark cola colour with a tiny khaki head.Nose of coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla with some smokiness. Light sweet roast start with a light bitter base and mild spiciness that ends up in a quite warm peppery finish. Medium sticky mouth that is quite chewy. Good, with the heat from the pepper not overpowering.

I was excited to see this one on the board as a guest tap at Indie after my Brew Brother Freaky_tiki’s review below. It’s not often I ignore Indie’s brews on the first beer. Pours an clear rose-tinged amber tinge with a thicker white head that goes straight to lacing. Wonderful nose hops of flowers, perfume, citrus with a little straw malts. Wow! Delivers a mouth-full of vanilla, roses, citrus little that heads to bitter finish. Very intense. Very nice. The only thing is that bitter finish really builds and ends up being a little rough, which brings down the overall score. It reminds me a lot of Life Sentence, a recent Amsterdam and Great Lakes colab. Also a triple IPA.

(On tap @ barVolo, Nov 21 2014) Pours a hazy orange gold with a small white head that leaves lace. Aroma powerfully tropical fruit, pineapple, guava, soursop?, fresh hop cone resins, pale malt sweetness to support. Palate sweet, pale and lightly caramel, tropical fruit cocktail, orange juice, peppery hops, lightly bitter towards the finish, with quite a lot of alcohol heat. Fairly average body with fairly light carb. Love the fruity hop bomb character of this, and there is very little bitterness to go with it (too little even?), but the only strike against this beer for me is the booze presence. Could have been better masked to bring balance to the beer, I thought. Still quite tasty stuff.

small tan / brown head. Nose brings out roasted malt, alcohol, and cocoa - sure smells boozy. Flavour sure is robust, with oak, strong roasted malt, dry cocoa, and more roast. Decent alcohol bun as well. Super robust and quite complex, but on the brutal side.
