| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 22, 2007 Hazy amber brown with a chunky long-lasting head. The descrription caption says "Hops, hops, hops!", but for me this IPA was all about the malt, malt, malt. I’ve said it before that I like a malty IPA, but this beer tested my preference. Aroma is dominated by barley brewing cereal with some reinous hop notes. Palate profile is the same, with chewy malt dominates with a sound resinous bitterness bringing up the finish. I liked it, although it isn’t among my favourite IPAs. Shared with Parksy, who didn’t care for it at all. kp (8488), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 26, 2007 A good inch plus of dense creamy beige head. Reduces noice and slow. Cloudy bright orange amber in color. Hoppy aroma. Mostly citrus notes but also some floral notes in there. Bit of harsh roastyness. Thin bitter flavor. Lots of bitterness. Dry with tea characteristics. Earhty and herbal notes that linger long after you want them too. Light alcohol presence. Finishes bitter and astringent. An ok IPA but needs more body to fight off the intense hops bitterness. presario (2987), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Dark amber. Moderate head. Some hops in a sweet nose. Partially mouth drying. Bitter hops and sour sweetness. Some intriguing caramel notes. A bit off putting. faroeviking (6100), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands

Medium body, sweetish caramel and citrus and a bitter finish. Appears a bit tired and oxidized. 230407
