Ungstrup (11555), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 13, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caremel as well as light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish. NW and NZ hops and 6.5% ABV in an English Style ale - I don’t get it.
msante79 (322), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours clear orange with white head. Aroma is floral hops, citrus and caramel malt. Flavor is hops, citrus, caramel, light fruit, bread and some earthyness. Kind of bland for an IPA, but does match british style. Solid brew. boFNjackson (580), Portland, USA Nov 18, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma of caramel malt and a little hops. Dry palate with the initial flavors being pretty woodsy and earthy with dominant hops and malt behind all that. Finished hoppy with a dry bitterness that’s well balanced. Drnk_McDermott (1586), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Nov 18, 2008 Trade with FlssmrBrewAlum, 12 oz bottle. Nice beery smell when I pop the cap, heavy on malts. Pours a somewhat amber and hazy pale ale color, very little head, but I did pour more slowly down the side than usual. A deep smell has suggestions of an antique pine drawer. Totally silly, but that’s what comes to mind. Taste is a little thick in texture, but not syrupy. One of the few "extreme" pale ales where the malt actually beats down any amped up hop load. Some nutty malt sweetness, a backing of orange, slight show of grass and vanilla. A fine beer overall. presario (2484), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 30, 2008 Hazy moderate with a thin head and some light lacing. Hop scent with a deep malt base. I get a hint of smoke in a woodsy beer with a moderate (for US) hop profile. Hoppier than a UK version. JaffaHawk23 (26), Broomfield, Colorado, USA Oct 29, 2008 Another hoppy treat from Boulder! My first impression off the tap at the Brewery, during the tour, was that this was certainly a tasty creation with lots of flavor and a great fruity aroma. Its a little watery to be one of my favorites but my love of hops make this a great driniking beer for me. Bought a 6er on the way out the door.
