Apr 9, 2006 Glorious, Glorious beer. Probably the best pint I’ve had this year. Poured out of 500ml bottle into warm Nonik. Gorgeous amber color with a sturdy head afloat. Intriguing aromas of citrus hop, earthy hop, and apparantly peat smoke. All of these elements in are in a perfect balance. I like IPA’s, but it doesn’t take a genius to dump a bunch of hops inthe brew kettle. These guys have figured something out and I will be making this a case purchase.

Oct 11, 2005 Lets get this out of the way right off the bat, this is not an American IPA. Furthermore, it is a Scottish brew and the delicious subtle smokiness, which can be found in all of Belhavens brews, is present in this one as well. That having been said, I will acknowledge that this is not a huge beer, perhaps closer to an ESB in style, but none the less a deliciously malty brew. The balance is excellent with both a carmely sweetness along with the floral aroma of English hops. Fans of English Ales, not American hop heads need to give this one a try, and hopefully then it will be appreciated for the fine beer that it is.

Jul 6, 2007 this was a great IPA. this is a good example that american IPA’s dont have to be uber hoppy to be hoppy and flavourful. great hoppy nose, but its not insanely bitter. a really refreshing beer, very well made, one of my favorites.

Jul 15, 2008 Taste 7/8. Looks: Nice gold with a thick topographical foam. Aroma: Nice, crip spicy hops. Sweetness in the malt. Taste: Neat. Not too soapy, or citrus. More even, orange, spicy, caramel in the malt. Full bodied. Smooth for this style. Quite good. I like this taste more than many APAs.
