| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 21, 2009 One of my favourite New Zealand IPA’s. Great hop dominance, without being unbalanced. Recommended. snuffla (97), Chch, New Zealand
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Notes from my beer tasting night say that is pours a reddish brown colour, slightly cloudy from the yeast. Caramel, cereal, passionfruit, pine and grapefruit on the nose, classy hop attack. Soft and full in the mouth with a lasting bitterness. Nice nate2g (1082), Brisbane, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours copper with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, grapefruit, lychee citrus and pine - a big floral nose. The flavour is caramel, grapefruit and citrus. Good bitterness. Dry finish. A well balanced beer. sdriessen (208), Dunedin, New Zealand
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Tasted at Tonic in Dunedin.
Floral, yeasty and hoppy nose. Very aromatic, lovely.
Flavours are nice and hoppy with a nice bitterness that lasts to the finish.
Some rather unusual flavours that I can’t really pin down.
Quite awesome. DuffMan (2763), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Pours a bright burnt orange with a thick creamy off-white head showing great retention and leaving delicate lace. Enticing fruity hop aroma, sweet plums and berries. Delicious sweet malt compliments the lovely gentle fruity hops. The finish is only moderately bitter. This beer does not meet the traditional nor contemporary expectations of an IPA (it is not aggressively hopped, nor is it higher ABV), but it is a truly delicious beer nonetheless. I will be having this again! cellar (495), Dublin, Ireland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Hazy amber beer w off white head. Malty, floral aroma of hops, caramel and citrus. Flavour is dominantly bitter with little sweetness. Short bitter finish. Guess it is ok for one more :-) Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Hazy golden with an off-white head. Fruity aroma – plums and peaches. Medium body with fairly sweet accents of exotic fruit and a whiff of caramel. Dry and lightly hoppy finish. Very quaffable but perhaps not the world’s most distinct IPA. 250308
