650mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings juicy citrus and piney hops, some residual sugars, and a crackery malt backbone. Flavour is identical, with a nice crackery malt backing, paving way for the dry piney and citrus hop forward quality. Nice and dry, with just enough juicy sweetness. Very nice stuff.

Cask at the Ottawa Beerfest. Primed with cream soda. A glowing slightly milky pour with a wonderful hoppy and cream soda aroma. Full bodied and smooth. The taste is bitter pine with Belgian hints, cream soda and a solid malt backbone.

After missing this year’s National Capital Craft Beer Festival, had to had this one at home, as last year, had a blast with brewmaster Sam at the fest. Pours a hazy light golden colour with a nice white head that is frothy, but gets creamy with long retention and lots of lacing. Fresh grass nose with hints of pine and citrus. Also, Belgian Ale yeast, blonde ale grain and some fruity notes. The taste is nicely balanced between the hoppiness, the blonde grain and the Belgian Ale yeast. A very nice mix between and Belgian Strong Ale and an IIPA. Bomber from the LCBO 9% ABV, written on label.

On tap at the Ottawa Beer fest. Oatmeal stout 5.5% it has a lovely toasted oat and soft chocolate aroma on a pit black pour with a beige head. Med-full bodied with quite a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is chocolate, roasty, dark pitted fruits, cocoa powder and has a sweet fruity finish.

650mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy dark orange with a large white head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops, a little citrus zest, and some crisp crackery malt - loads of pine though. Flavour brings out a huge wallop of intensely bitter piney hops - oh man is this piney and hoppy. Super dry, fairly astringent, but super drinkable. Excellent IPA.
