While traveling on the West Coast of the US, I absolutely fell in love with the hoppy pale ales that they are brewing in cities like San Diego, San Fran and Seattle. So, I immediately got to work on my interpretation of this Style. We use Canadian two row barley and a very liberal helping of Chinook hops. Hope you enjoy.

I tried this beer on January 10, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a hazy orange-gold colour with a thin white head. The aroma was very hoppy with perfumy and citrusy tones. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium to high carbonation. The flavour was definitely strong on the hops with a definite grapefruit flavour. A nice bitter finish.

Clear amber/yellow colour with a small off white head that quickly dissipates. No lacing. Seems more like a pale ale with a bit of a hop flavour. Average all round.

6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a clean light amber colour with an off-white frothy head that has great retention and bubbly lacing. Nice mild floral hop nose with a little roasted malts. After breathing a bit, some caramel notes appear. The grapefruit hoppiness is present in the taste as well, and still on the mild side. Some grain shows up in the aftertaste well-blended with the smooth bitterness. A pretty refreshing Pale Ale that has a bit of a hoppy bite. Very easy-going and would have again.

This beer was a pleasant surprise. The beer is clear, reddish in colour, and has a decent tannish head. The aroma is floral hops, with some maltiness in the mix. The flavour is citrusy hops, and grainy malt, all nicely balanced.

On Tap at the Castle Tapped a lush dark orange with a sticky rich 3 finger cap that laces well. Rich juicy citrus (Grapefruit) and floral tones over copious toffee- bready malts. This is a luxurious ale in the mouth, silken, rich, dripping with Cascade hop cone citrus and balanced with sweet malts with a woody-earthy under tone...finish is profuse...bloody marvelous...the best IPA in this Ontario market hands down.
