This beer was exciting 6 years ago...sadly it was all we really had at the time for IPAs. This is a definite pass for me now, i revisited it about a month ago and it's just not something i would spend my money on now
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...

Couldn't agree more. There was a time that I really enjoyed it......yeah about 5.5-6 years ago but after having one 6 months or so ago, it's not even something I'd think of buying noq

Compared to some of the IPA's out there this was pretty mild, not punchy as I though it was going to be.
It wasn't a bad IPA, but not what you would expect from an IPA.

I would recommend this IPA for the new craft beer drinkers, seasoned IPA drinkers will be a bit disappointed.

+1 to this. There was a time (5-6 years ago) where FM were perhaps the most creative and interesting Ontario brewery. They've steadily gone downhill since then and I'd say they are barely relevant now. Sad, really.
