gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus, hop, fruit. Flavour is citrus, hop, fruit, pine, malt. Easy drinkable and nice beer. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Mar 20, 2008 Amber with a huge head. Hoppy aroma of grape and orange. The same notes are found in the flavours with lemon and a bit of caramel. It is one way bitter and lacks some counterpart from the malts. Not bad though.
shackinetics (132), Florida, USA Mar 19, 2008 Pours a mild gold color, a finger of off-white head and very respectable lacing. Hoppy pine aroma and really well balanced bitter grapefruit flavor. Palate is smooth but with a little bit of heavier syrup feel to it. Pretty remarkably sweet finish compared to the bitters up-front. There is a mild soapy after taste. Best IPA I’ve had for a while in my random beer quest.... cking (1012), North Canton, Ohio, USA Mar 18, 2008 Single from the local shop, with the price of hops going up it appears IPA’s may become more of a treat than a good ol’ stand-by. Rich evergreen aroma, lots of pine and a touch of floral scents. Clear golden-copper color with a thin head and mild lacing. A steady, lazy carbonation is present. Rich and aggressive, the sticky hops cling to the mouth and a pleasant, thick bitterness remains. Good flavor, typical of this great style. Hearty malt with some light caramel and nutty flavors that are overtaken by a strong evergreen and citrus content. Fine IPA in all regards, although I prefer a little more grapefruit and citrus. Boutip (2333), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Mar 17, 2008 Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a big foamy head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma of dry bitter hops with minimal floral or citrus notes. Taste is also dominated by some dry bitter hops with some light caramel malt notes. Medium body with good carbonation. Not bad overall and pretty straight forward – I would have preferred more citrus notes and some floral notes but still enjoyable nonetheless. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Mar 16, 2008 Clear almost pilsner yellow with a touch of orange and has a fine white head. Aroma of fruits (citrus), hops and flowers. A bit of yeasty notes (wheat). Softly carbonated with a smooth feel. Fine balance between the powerfull hops and sweet malts. Fine lacings on the side of the glass. Nice bitter hoppy (Sharp & soapy) finish that is lasting. Great IPA!
rob897 (62), Buffalo, New York, USA Mar 14, 2008 nice gold color with thin white head, great hop aroma and flavor. Very citrusy with some floral accents. cykyc (28), USA Mar 13, 2008 Strong citrus / grapefruit aroma. Almost a bit of a mango hit. Orange / amber, translucent color. The palate is bright, bubbly, carbonated. Strong mix of a hop / malt flavor. Very present up-front flavor with only a hoppy citrus tinge of an aftertaste. Strong, clean IPA perfect for an outside drink.
