May 16, 2007 Citrusy aroma. On the dry side. Flavor is of oranges and pineapples. Overall, pretty much innocuous. Nigther bad nor particularly good.

May 5, 2007 Again, my bottle wound up extremely overcarbonated for some reason. This English style IPA was drinkable but otherwise unremarkable. Typical understated Fuggles-type hopping left me underwhelmed. Caramel and toffe malts seemed a touch stale...hints of dishwater, etc. Nothing remarkable here.

Apr 29, 2007 Bottle (22oz), Knightly Spirits. Pour was typical for the style, a little more amber-reddish, perhaps, foamy off-white head, lots of lacing. The aroma was tea bags, caramel, citrus rinds, some oranges. The flavor was tea bags, brown sugar, orange and citrus, melon-bready finish. Not a good concoction, as these brown-sugary tea-bagged IPAs don’t do it for me. Mouthfeel was moderate, carbonated.

Apr 19, 2007 22oz These guys make different batches using a single hop variety with each individual batch; this one happened to be Summit hops. Maybe this made it better than the previous reviewer’s scores. The aroma is great; the fruitiness the bottle advertizes is indeed there until the end where an almost overpowering bitterness takes over.

Apr 6, 2007 A flowery, citrusly hop aroma. Red-brown muddy color with a white head. Very bitter and almost anti-septic. Nicely carbonated, the body is almost there, but a little too thin. I was looking forward to this beer but was underwhelmed.

Apr 6, 2007 22 oz bottle, via Saarlander. Pours a dark copper body with a greater than normal amount of small sediment particles. Small foamy white head receded without any lacing. Nose is very light on the hops, just a little floral and lightly piney notes. Soft doughy malt base. Flavor is somewhat dull and lacking in crispness. Lightly bitter with a light citrusy hoppiness, minimal malt presence. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation and a slightly creamy texture. Overall, this just lacked any assertiveness and flair.

Apr 5, 2007 Draft at Ted’s Montana Grill in Raleigh, NC on 3/16/07. Clear amber with a small, rpaidly subsiding white head. Aroma of burnt caramel and pney hops. Medium body and carbonation, decent mouthfeel. Quite bitter without sufficient balance, and a long dry finish.
