Apr 29, 2003 Amber hue. Medium-sized white, creamy head. Excellent thick lacing.
Notes of spruce, pine, and everything else evergreen in the nose. Undernotes of apricot and other fuzzy fruits. Also black pepper.
The flavor is very bitter and moderately citrusy with a hint of grapefruit rind.
Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Crisp, clean and bitter finish.

Mar 28, 2005 Pours a clear, bright copper orange with a thin white head with light whispy lacing. Has a bold, fresh, grapefruity hop aroma with a touch of dry biscuity malt. Starts relatively thick, full and bittersweet with lots of hop presence and decent malty balance. Finishes crisp and lightly sweet with hints of citrus and hop resin. A very enjoyable and drinkable IPA.

Mar 1, 2003 Colour: yellow with gold-copper shine throughout, hints of Chablislike green; thick white, luxurious head but disappearing rather fast.
Nose: full-hoppy aroma, not metallic or overpowering, slight wet cardboard taint, also DMS (?)
Taste: Amazingly nice hoppy taste, much more flavour than real bitter taste; hops seem more UK than USA character.
Aftertaste: retronasal aromas of cypress, crisp finish. each gulp gives renewed helping of fresh hops, always with this cypresslike flavouring. Hops keep lingering at the tonguesides.
This beer is in many aspects an epitomizing of American IPA, were it not for the character of the hops. Very drinkable for all its hoppiness.

Nov 23, 2005 Clear golden colour with a small off white head. Hoppy, fruity aroma with a touch of pineapple. Flavor starts light caramel malty, then becomes more hoppy and bitter with a dry citric finish.
