maltdog (510), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 19, 2007 Pale orangey gold, murky with floaties. Lazy bubbles. Small marshmallow cream head leaves sticky clumps of foam on the glass. Restrained yet concentrated aromatics; floral (roses, marigolds), grapey, spicy, herbal, and coniferous. Bready, honeyed malt. Exceptionally balanced flavors of fruit, bitterness, and crackers dipped in sorghum. Nuances of apricot, walnut, sultanas, orangewater. Palate is interestingly full and meaty, yet at the same time dry and tingly. Bittersweet and minerally, gin-like finish… lingering peppery/spicy/fruity aftertaste. Damn fine IPA! larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 27, 2007 Sampled at SBWF, 2007.
Somewhat hazy golden. Fine white head.
Sweet and very hoppy in both aroma and flavour; citrus and apricots. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Oct 26, 2007 very hoppy nose. Coppery pour, decent white head. Pleasantly hoppy flavor with a nice malt body. Slight bittersweet finish. Nice. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 8, 2007 Bottle. Pours a golden amber body with thin head. Aroma is of citrus hops, perfume. Flavor is sweet malt, citrus, grassy hops. Lightly carbonated and a smooth body. Very quaffable. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 8, 2007 Bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Aroma was more malted and floral. Golden body with decent head. Flavor had more of the malty chewy sweetness and less of the citrus thus just an ordinary IPA. Malty sweet aftertaste on palate. Good refreshment as any IPA is for me. hoooraybeer (48), Cranford, New Jersey, USA Oct 4, 2007 nice nose
didn’t deliver on the flavor as much as aroma, but good
slightly thin mouth feel
I would get it again
They go back easy
rlgk (3377), Vårgårda, Sweden Oct 3, 2007 (Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Bottle. Pale golden, white head. Hoppy, grassy, fruity aroma with pine apple and apricot notes. Hoppy, grassy, metallic flavor, some sweeter fruits. Bitter grassy finish. TBone (6677), Pori, Finland Sep 30, 2007 Bottled@SBWF 2007 (BB 02/2008)
Amber color, decent creamy off-white head. Fruity-hoppy aroma. Malty background, some fruity-sweet hoppyness. Not extremely hoppy, so reasonably drinkable session beer.
