chrisafari (96), Orange, California, USA Jun 15, 2008 On tap at the Olde Ship, Santa Ana Ca. Pours golden amber with almost no head. Aroma of sweet citrus with a hint of hops and spices. Flavor beings mild and smooth and finishes with sweet and bitter spice. More like an ESB than an American (San Diego, Ca) IPA. I know there is hops, but it is subtle compared to an American IPA. Super clear appearance.
Goodgrief (1055), Middletown, Delaware, USA Oct 10, 2008 KSBF 08 - Orange amber pour with small layer of foam. Balanced beer with lots of floral english style hops and sweet malt. Crisp and refreshing. Probably the best English IPA I’ve had yet. troyc (976), Lubbock, Texas, USA Oct 9, 2008 (Tap) Pours a orange color with a small white head. Aroma of hops and light caramel malts. Taste includes lots of hops, pine, some citrus, light toffee and light alcohol. Balance is reasonably good, and the beer is pretty drinkable. I enjoyed this one. Pyrozoid (190), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 9, 2008 Bouteille de 500 ml. - Une biere de couleur Or tres clair avec un moyen collet moyennement collant de couleur blanc. Odeur de blé, épices, pommes et malt. Gout de blé asser fort, épices tres prenoncé. WesKBob (167), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear, fizzy amber color. Moderate white head, creamy, with excellent retention and decent lacing. Mild aroma of dry and bitter hops. Taste is just slightly malty but dominated by bitter hops. Slightly piney in the dry finish. Definitely not a balanced beer--hops dominate throughout. But enjoyable and drinkable. rodenbach99 (429), Longueuil, Quebec, Canada Oct 7, 2008 bouteille de 500ml, bière passablement dorée pour une IPA, utilisation de houblon cascade et challenger qui fait un mélange entre les usa et les royaumes-unis, mousse compacte et durable, nez agréable, bouche piquante, amère, longue et avec beaucoup de tonus. j’aime bien.
