I triued this beer on tap on February 10, 2011 at "C'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a white foamy head that sticks to the sides of the glass. The aroma was mild floral hops, grains, and dishsoap. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was citrusy hops, and grainy malt.

This is a hazy yellow beer with a long lasting yellow head. The aroma is definitely hoppy with some malty tones. The flavour is very hoppy, the citrusy grapefruit bitterness is strong. A good beer for me.

From Cask at the Castle: Pulled a pale clouded yellow into my pint glass. Rocky sticky cap had fair retention. Decent aroma to the cask version, The Cascades and fuggles variety hops combine with the yeast esters to produce a musty-peach or earthy citrus discernment. Thin bodied, light malt spine mild, character. The frontside is well balanced with mild malts and citrusy hops then the fuggles take over in the thin mid palate and bitter up the finish....mild and drikable. Nice dose of cascade flavor but this beer is too pale and thin of malts, ABV and mild to be called an IPA...possibly a great west coast style version of a mild pale but not an IPA. A nice session mild but consider me underwhelmed if this is an IPA.
