3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 ljthiessen (806) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - OCT 5, 2015
Can, from LCBO Kenora. Cloudy, dark reddish pour with a thick tan head. Aroma is caramel, a little roasty, with a slightly metallic note and a touch of dank hops. Taste is quite smooth and creamy, malty caramel. Not overly sweet but not a lot of hops to balance out - mostly tastes like a rich amber ale. Not bad, but not as advertised either.

Can. Muddy Amber-brown in colour with medium carbonation. Quite floral on the nose, backed by some pale malt and pine cone. Bright and fruity flavors of orchard fruit, flowers, toffee, and a bit of pine gum. Heavy bodied with medium bitterness. A bit on the heavy side, but decent.

2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 TheKeywork (62) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 11, 2015
Not as hoppy as you'd expect from an ipa. Silky and creamy but the tinny aftertaste docks this a few points.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 lesifflebiere (1517) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 19, 2014
Mousse généreuse sur un liquide acajou dune limpidité parfaite et dune minceur considérable. Au nez les malts dominent (caramel, un peu de fraises) tout en laissant une petite place aux houblons (fruits tropicaux en finale). Amertume considérable en bouche, suivie dune rondeur maltée qui rappelle les céréales blondes. Une bière agréable, un peu bizarre pour ce style mais on ne peut lui reprocher son caractère.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Tessic (967) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 28, 2014
This ipa poured a deep amber colour with a white, foamy head. Scents include citrus hops, pineapple and orange juices. Very citrus. First swig was smooth with big citrus hop flavour with a side of unsweetened iced tea. Finish is medium bitter with the citrus hops lingering on the palate.
