Bottle Conditioned. Poured a golden coloured beer with a thin white head. The aroma is of citrus with a hint of bitter orange, dry hoppy finish.

Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a muddy pale orange with a small creamy white head. Aroma is hoppy with lots of flowers and a little pine and a little background caramel. Nice dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very bitter and dry. Good bity biscuitness and pilsner/caramel sweetness behind the flowery bitterness. A wonderful, nice, english IPA.

Bottled, months ago. Shining gold with white lace. Big, resiny, sappy aroma drenched with citrus. Whole hop leafiness with a hint of pinecone. Juicy fibrous pineapple and blood orange. Lip-smacking hop juiciness leading to a quinine-bitter finish. Dangerous refreshment ,and an aromatically fruity IPA.

Bottle. Light amber colour with a thick, rocky head. English hoppiness in the nose- the mix of flowers and grass. Flavours start on the sweet side, and remains there, despite the grassy hops. Not my favourite, unfortunately.

I had very high expectations for this one after loving Jaipur and Hophead and was not quite let down, but I did not like it as much as the preceding glorious brews. Clearish golden ale wearing a small white cover. Highly aromatic with strong floral and limey notes sparkled on by fresh cut grassiness and an out of place acetone tang. Pleasant despite the off-tone and brightly clear flavours in mouth, supported by a medium body. Well carbonated for a mostly thin, bready cask ale.

Cask (gravity) @ GBBF 2007, London. Clear medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, pine, citrus, lemon. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is strong yeast, big time hops, some sourness and bitterness. Flavour is grass, earth, hay and slight notes of wood and flowery hops. Very pleasantly bittery and hoppy.

Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet a with light spicy hoppy note. The flavor has a weird spicy note with some coriander, leading to a dry bitter end. Not very pleasant - maybe because it is bottled conditioned.
