Pours a clean amber colour with a warm frothy cap, long lasting with loads of lacing. Aromas of grassy hops giving citrus and pine notes, over the caramel malts. Nice bitterness, but not crazy dry mouthfeel. Some nice hops lingers, all well-blended with the caramel malts. A very easy-drinking Double IPA.

Opague pour with a large fluffy khaki head that fades slowly. Nose is vanilla, chocolate, wood, smoke, some dark fruit and leather. Light sweet molasses and caramel with a medium- chocolate bitterness and lots of dark roast though the vanilla is a bit too forward. Mouth is medium with a touch of chalkiness and a dry finish with slightly soft carbonation. 8/4/6+/3+/15

Bottle from the LCBO. Slightly hazy light copper with a one finger off white head that lingers and leaves tight lace. Nose is pine and citrus with a modest caramel malt backing and some grass. Flavour has the light caramel supporting a medium+ bitter pine and orange rind. Mouth is medium- with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. Alcohol is well integrated and the bitterness while prominent is not overwhelming. 8/4/7+/3+/15+

Bottle: Poured a clear dirty amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fresh grapefruit notes with light citrusy notes is pleasant enough. Taste is also a mix of fresh grapefruit notes with some citrusy notes and light dry caramel malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but lacking some balance.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy orange amber under a fluffy long lived off white head. Big aroma of grapefruit and citrus with smaller doses of resin and bread. Enough light sweet toffee to keep the big citrus and pine bitterness from getting too out of control with grapefruit remaining in the fore. Mouth is average with slightly soft carbonation and a long bitter finish. Quite tasty. 8/4-/8+/3+/15+

Their site says 6.1%, but the label is now at 5.7% ABV. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a darker bubbly head that dissipates quickly, leaving some patchy lace. Fruity nose with lots of citrus (yes, the grapefruit) but also some orange notes. The taste is also citrusy, but the grapefruit is more apparent, and gives this a real dry-bitter finish. A nice fruity IPA. A beautiful second experience from this brewery. Keep ’em coming at the LCBO.

Bottle from LCBO. Hazy orange body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of calendar chocolate, bergamot and yeast. Flavour of orange concentrate and lemon peel. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Quite sharp and tangy - not particularly easy drinking.

Bomber from the LCBO. Pours a slight hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, very good retention and foamy lacing. Grainy taste with a little hop fruitines in it. Mild grassy nose. Eventually, caramel comes out with hints of tropical fruits. Decent dryness in the finish. A nice, refreshing Pale Ale (called Australian Pale Ale) that goes down quite nicely with nothing overpowering, but no faults.
