Mar 13, 2009 If you walk into this thinking about any other IPA you’ve experienced before you will not be prepared to appreciate the true compexity of this blend of big american hops and old world brewing tradition. Belhaven managed to combine just enough peatty smokiness with the bite of columbus (or challenger?) hops.

Mar 9, 2009 Poured cloudy gold with a one finger head that left a thin film and ok lacing. Grassy floral hops were strongest on the nose, but with a generous caramel smell as well. Similar sense with the taste, as citrus and floral hops are well balanced by the maltiness. Not the hop bomb you get with an American-made APA, but a nice alternative. Medium body and carbonation with a clean crisp aftertaste.

Mar 8, 2009 On tap at the Pub at Polaris. Cloudy orange pour with a medium white head. Floral and citrusy Cascade hop aroma with a touch of malt. Crisp hop flavor up front with a very English malty finish. I liked this brew.

Mar 6, 2009 Bottle Pours a hazy golden with a big white head. The head seems to last a little. Has a nice hoppy citrus aroma with touches of pine, and sweet malts. Has a very crisp taste. Good carbination, good mothfeel . Has a nice bite to it and a good finish. This is a very tasty IPA. Has a medium body and is blended pretty good but produces a nice kick. I really enjoyed this one.

Mar 2, 2009 Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm; 6.1% ABV
Golden color; creamy head. Very nice hop aroma, creamy, with hints of fruits. Medium body, toffee flavor, the too high carbonation creates a dryish feeling, there is a touch of cereals; good hopping; the flavor is less interesting than the aroma but still good. The final is not complex enough. Good session beer.

Feb 28, 2009 Pours somewhat cloudy copper color with a small light tan head. Nice floral hop aroma, with some malt and yeast. Slightly more pronounced flavor, good amount of floral/grassy hops, balanced out very well by the malt. Smooth body, not a standout APA, but nice to drink none the less.

Feb 21, 2009 The appearance could be good or bad depending on how much you like cloudy beer. This one is very cloudy. Pours pale amber with a modest half inch of cream color head. The head fades rather quickly and leaves a good amount of lacings. The aroma is mostly malts, some yeast, and floral hops. Taste is sweet maltiness with a firm earthy but balanced bitterness. The richness of the malts is way more than typical American IPA’s. I suspect this beer may be a bit old and as there is no obvious date I wish I could try it from a keg sometime. Carbonation was typical of British Ales(subdued). An interesting brew and I enjoyed drinking it all.
