This was the best of the tasting of BDM's three first bottling efforts at Peluso. Hopped for 90 minutes, bottled 08/2011. I like the labels, lots of information: food pairings, temperature, recommended glassware and a good, fairly accurate description of the beer. Clear, filtered-looking copper body, on the dark side for an IPA. Good finger of cream-white head sticks around a while. Decent lacing. Good looking stuff.
Nice grapefruit on the nose. Good balance of caramel malt, pine and mixed tropical fruit (pineapple, guava, lychee); similar to Red Racer but considerably lighter. Solid.
Where on the nose there was a good balance, there could be more malt present here to back up the hops. Hops are alright though: more earthy pine than on the nose, soily bitterness toward the finish and grapefruit pith throughout. The tropical aspect isn't really here. Touch of alcohol. It needs more malt and would be nice with some of that tropical fruit in the nose as well. 100 IBU? Doesn't seem it at all, more like 70-80.
Decent medium body. Carbonation is maybe a little high. Not too bad.
Brewers in Quebec seem to be on the right track towards one of them brewing a truly great IPA but no one has done it yet (in my opinion). It is described as having a lightly-malted taste on the label, though I would say too much so. Still, this is fairly okay within the style and I'd probably order it on tap if I ran into it.

Darker color than I was expecting. A sort of caramel hue; topped with creamy looking and ever so slightly beige head. On the nose I get a touch of grass and some earthy, English type aromas. Malt is also present. On the palate, this beer is definitely not overly hoppy and is actually rather malty. Caramel malts come through almost more than hops do, but overall it's balanced rather nicely. This is a fine example of an English IPA but I can't say that it stands up to my more modernized expectations of an AIPA. It's okay but nothing spectacular

Poured from 341ml bottle to extended tulip. 6.50% ABV and apparently 100 IBU.
A: Small head with no retention surprisingly, i think my pour was to blame. Dark Copper, burnt-orange, slightly reddish, very opaque.
N: Very malty, sweet caramel. hard to catch any authentic hop aromas, maybe a bit of citrus, some fresh bouquet of flowers odors coming through. This smells like an amber ale
T: Roasty Caramel Malts, Pumpkin Seeds!! Not as bitter as I expected, just a smooth bitter finish. Very simple beer, but pretty balanced.
M: Medium carbonation, kind of thin too.
O: It's a good beer but I was expecting something more I guess. Doesn't compare to the good quebec IPA's Worth a try if you like a bitter beer!
