(Draught at Brydens, Oct 12 2013) Pours a clear medium orange, average white head with big bubbles, no lace. Aroma has citrus hops, orange heavy, floral, slightly resinous. Flavour is a good blend of hops with decently complex malts, the two work well together. Slight caramel sweetness along with citrus and floral elements to start, and a moderate but resinous (fruit more than pine) bitterness builds from mid-palate on. Malts stay in the mix, never grainy, finishes fairly dry. Medium-bodied but fairly sticky on the tongue, moderate to high carb. A good IPA, nice malt backbone plus a different hop profile than we’re used to from local brewers, nice effort all around.

Starts with some roasted malt and hops. Pours cloudy black with mocah head and some lacing. Pretty good stout but I enjoy their Eephus a little more. Some oats in flavour. Soft carbonation, finishes soft sour and soft bitter. Nice. Tap at Session.

(Draught sample at Bryden’s, Toronto ON, June 16th 2013) Poured a very deep brown with mahogany hints when held up to the light and a frothy tan head. Aroma of toast and nuts dominated, very roasty, with a bit of dark fruit sweetness and coffee. Flavour initially roasted malts, nuts, toast, toffee, light coffee and oats, just a little sweet. By mid-palate, dries out completely with a real oat character to the flavor (almost like oatmeal cereal) and just a bit of hops, finishes dry and slightly mineral without a ton of aftertaste. Mouthfeel is pretty oily and creamy, carbonation soft. Quite a stout-like brown ale.

Pours cloudy golden with good head and lacing. Has an initial smell of tangerine and grapefruit. Nice astringency from grapefruit. Pretty well-balanced. Soft carbonation, medium body. It’s well-balanced, just a little light to be a great IIPA. Tap at Bar Hop.
