look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

500ml bottle poured into Creemore glass nov9 2009

A clear liquid gold with a fast falling thumbs worth of head that left only patches of lace

S plenty of toffee with a decant amount of bread and some soft hops

T as it smells but better, more hops with mild pine and tonnes of caramel/toffee sweetness and just a little citrus.

M nice and soft with a good amount of bitterness but nothing crazy

D so very smooth and well worth drinking. I love when a beer is better then it looks, so often its the other way around

I didn't know what to expect with this one and I was not upset by it at all, tasted great and was very easy to drink and well worth trying

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Pours a deep good with dense micro bubbles formed on top. Nice was retention and lots of lacing. Nose is non descript with mild notes of bready grain, light earthy hops, some caramel. Taste is smooth and light in the flavor department. Light hop bitterness paired with mild caramel. Mouthfeel is the only place this beer excels, very smooth and somewhat creamy. Overall, an easy drinker for sure but relatively absent of flavor for an IPA.
