Inspired by late night stories around the fire, Muskoka Mad Tom will instantly grab your attention. Dry-hopped with Chinook and Centennial hops, this IPA has a vibrant aroma, depth of flavour, and crisp citrusy undertow like no other. So brace yourself, and crack one open for old Mad Tom. This is an awakening in craft beer that gets more enticing with every sip.

Pretty happy to see this on the shelves. For some reason, it's hard to find local IPAs in ontario.

A - Clear gold/orange w2ith a nice head of foam.

S - Nose is citrus, floral and lightly herbal. Little whiff of alcohol as well.

T -Juicy, bittersweet grapefruit with a heavy resinous twang. Yum.

M - Smooth with some heft and a little carbonated kick.

D - Very drinkable, solid brew. Maybe a bit above average for a single-i ipa. In this neck of the woods, its availability makes this a winner :)

A solid choice. Bitterness is forward but not overpowering, it is still smooth… a classic. Pours a nice golden hue, bit clearer that they’re hazed and confused but similar… decent head, minimal lacing. A decent easy to drink west coast ipa.

The bitterness actually comes forward as you drink this beer and it lingers some may consider this unpleasant. It’s all right I’m just gonna knock that score back a little bit for me though.

Pours a clean golden orange. I get mostly malt upon the nose, a bit floral, but wort as well. This reads between an American and an English IPA. The malts seem to much in play., It’s plenty hoppy. I wouldn’t say the malts break through completely, but they are there. Feel it’s not a true West Coast. Drinkable, but not progressive in any way.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Look: Pours a copper colour, with a one finger tightly bubbled white head. Very bright. The head dissipates slowly leaving substancial lace and patches of foam at the 5 minute mark.

Smell: Dank and earthy with pine and a distinct malt undertone.

Taste: Doughy, white bread, with a gritty tea middle. Finishes sweet with plenty of caramel in the aftertaste. There is a little hint of a cilantro like taste in this beer.

Feel Medium bodied and mouth filling. Somewhat sweet and cloying on the end.

I found it an unbalenced and overly bitter drink. It earns a C+

L: Translucent dark orange amber, some creamy head and a lot of bubbles

T: Balanced fruitiness and citrus pith balanced with doughy malts with more pronounced resiny pine on the finish and a lingering slight bitterness
F: Light but thick and a little foamy and oily, somewhat drying
O: A tasty but not over the top IPA with a bit of a warmer and more mellow flavour.

bought a can at the lcbo in Ontario 473ml
poured a 2 finger head good carbonation and the taste was hoppy and citrus with some bitterness.
over all it's a good IPA beer.
cheers

Looks great. Amber orange with a good head and lots of lace all the way to the bottom of the glass. Nose is hoppy and malty, but seems to lean towards the malty side of things making it come across as being a little sweet. And that's how it tastes, too. A little more malty than expected for an IPA. The sweetness pushes pretty hard against the hops. Full mouthfeel and, again, maybe a little too sweet. Drinkable.
