I am sure glad my daughter loves to travel, this week she brought me back a few beers from Montreal. This one is a American Double or Imperial IPA, see 90 Minute IPA for a comparable. This style is supposed to be like an IPA on steroids, it should be an all out assault on your palate with lots of malts and hops and they generally have alcohol contents running between 7% and 14% ABV.
This one is 8%ABV and pours a golden orange colour, Very little head which leaves a very thin layer of lacing. The aroma is very hoppy, citrus and pine resin with a syrupy, honey and maple background. The flavour is like the style is supposed to be, lots of fruity and sweet malts up front, tangerine, caramel, honey and then a big bang of citrus hops, orange zest and red grapefruit. It ends with a nice dry finish. Overall a very good brew 3.8 out of 5
