Nov 4, 2009 Had on tap at BeerRun in Charlottesville, VA. Aroma is of floral hops. Taste is balanced with a medium body, flowery hops and grass. Finish is nice and balanced too. Overall, a good, well put together beer.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Quite the explosive pour -- with a hazy, orange-yellow final product. Sweet citric aroma, followed with a nicely put-together beer of light grapefruit, pine and floral sweetness. Excellent. (#3725, 10/31/2009)

Oct 30, 2009 Amber pour with an off white head. Aroma of caramel and hops. Flavor was stronger than I expected with a lot of hops coming through. Slight bitterness at the finish but well balanced with the caramel malts.

Oct 29, 2009 Barley and wheat bread nose. Clear amber, headless. Burst of grapefruit flavor with a touch of lime. Some orange peel finish too. Rather like Mountain Dew beer, if that makes sense, just malty and more bitter. The hops are there and in full effect.

Oct 27, 2009 Got it in a winter seasonal section, but it certainly wasn’t that. Billed as a strong ale, but feels more like a traditional IPA. Referred to as "british style", but aside from its bitter finish I don’t get it. Not as malty as Boulder’s beers usually are, and probably my least favorite of their beers.

Oct 25, 2009 Appearance: Slightly hazy orange color with a foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: Pine hops, some biscuit and dough notes on the malt side.
Flavor:Earthy, pine hops with a good malt backbone. Some toast and biscuit notes.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-long, bitter finish.
Overall: I was surprised to see this classified as an English Strong Ale as I was certain it would be an IPA. I couldn’t tell it had 6.5% alcohol either. Shows what I know.
