Maybe you had a bottle that was a bit off...the citrus bursts on the nose/palate were there, and then some...if we are going to debate ST vs Nasty Habit vs other IPA's, etc - we can agree that they all rock - we just have different hop head preferences...TheSevenDuffs wrote:Really? I was actually disappointed with it. I found that the nose was excellent but the palate was weak (not bitter enough and lacking in flavour too) and the mouthfeel was light and watery.Dokta Owange wrote:Nasty Habit has to be one of the best IPA's I have ever bought from the LCBO - reminds me of Green Flash Imperial IPA.
I only bought one bottle and won't be buying more.
That said, with the limited choices available at the LCBO, if you are in the mood for and IPA, aside from Southern Tier IPA, nothing comes to mind right away that is better...
My all time fav though has to be Green Flash Imperial IPA...

That's the thing: I got the citrus burst on the nose. It was the taste that was a let down. I am not saying that it was a bad IPA by any means, just that the palate didn't follow the nose and the mouthfeel was a touch light/watery.Dokta Owange wrote:Maybe you had a bottle that was a bit off...the citrus bursts on the nose/palate were there, and then some...if we are going to debate ST vs Nasty Habit vs other IPA's, etc - we can agree that they all rock - we just have different hop head preferences...TheSevenDuffs wrote:Really?

I agree. I was very stoked to try the Nasty Habit. The hops on the nose were incredible when opened. Mouthfeel was very watery, no bite at all. Garrison's was much more balanced on the nose and palate.TheSevenDuffs wrote:That's the thing: I got the citrus burst on the nose. It was the taste that was a let down.
