From "The Best of Beau's 2013" 4-pack at the LCBO. The beer pours a hazed dark copper colour with a half inch whitish head that shrinks to a film. The aroma is burnt caramel, weak yeast, and slight funk. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is on the bland side as nothing stands out. Some yeastiness with dark fruits and burnt caramel.

The beer pours a hazed light golden brown with a generous white head. The aroma is honey, funk, yeast, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is slightly sweet to start with notes of honey, and finishes with a spicy bitterness and the yeast. A pretty good effort.

The beer pours a light golden copper colour, translucent, with a white head. Aroma is light fruits, weak caramel, and citrusy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is very grainy with some hop bitterness. Not my favourite IPA despite being one of the standard bearers of the style
