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.

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

(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.

Amber color, decent creamy off-white head. Fruity-hoppy aroma. Malty background, some fruity-sweet hoppyness. Not extremely hoppy, so reasonably drinkable session beer.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige creamy head. Aroma is honey, flowery hops. Flavour is the same with the hops being really big. Quite typical IPA still.

Golden colour. Creamy head. Aroma is very hoppy with notes of citrus (oranges). Flavour is more hops and oranges. Very nice bitterness.

12-oz. Thanks, FranksnBeans! Pours rubied amber with a thin white film after a bit of suds splash around atop for a second. Modest fruity nose, very subdued. Medium body, soft carb. Restrained flavors throughout--light orange pith and some caramelish business on the mid-palate, and a little resiny finish. Very restrained...in San Diego this would be an APA.
