Sweaty hops with some tropical fruits, syrupy and hayísh malt. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Good balance, long bitter finish. Quite mediocre DIPA.

Clear amber with a smooth full body. Sweet mouth-filling palate. There’s no denying the strength and it demands your respect! Nose and taste is all about the hops! Dry, peppery and beautiful to savour. A big improvement on the original recipe!

Bottle at Chris O’s 19th April 2008 tasting. Very light orange with a decent hop aroma and flavour but strangely let down by a watery palate. Brew Dog can do better than this. BeerandBlues2 (3203), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2008 1 pint, 6.4 fl oz bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Batch 001. Pours hazy orange with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, straw), heavy hops (perfume, pine, grapefruit, flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of pear and apricot. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. peter48er (143), Liverpool, Merseyside, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 27, 2008 Whilst hoppiness dominates this lovely beer, very much in the US craft brewery style, it also has a sticky sweet taste, which is a perhaps a little over the top for me. Nonetheless the malt and citrus notes that also come through make this, for me, an excellent example of the IPA style. Lets have more UK beers in this style please. onlyrocknroll (219), Cork, Ireland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Clear yellow with a medium sized head. Fairly bitter citric aroma. Although the the flavour is quite malty and fruity, citric bitterness predominates. Medium bodied. A fine but unexceptional beer. Jonte (816), Gothenburg, Sweden

Hoppy and very sweet aroma with notes of citrus, butter, diacetyl, toffee, grain and sweet fruits. Taste of hops, citrus, butter, toffee, almonds, alcohol, and sweet fruit. Too much diacetyl and sugary sweetness. Not very balanced. brentfeesh (1037), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2008 750ml bottle, enjoyed on brew day. Pours hazy orange. Very citrusy aroma (if not a bit sharp), you can tell this is going to be bitter. The flavor is very bitter with plenty of alcohol. There is also citrus peal, spicy & herby hops in abundance. Is that peated malt I detect in there? There is a bit of grain to this but it is hops hops and more hops through and through. Semi-dry, medium body. It’s good, but a bit coarse Cornfield (4926), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 13, 2008 From the 750ml bottle this pours a clear yellow/gold body with much bubbling and a substantial, creamy head. The aroma has buttery sweetmalts, a touch of orchard fruit, and hop scents of flowers, grapefruit, pine, and earth. The hoppy bitterness dominates the flavor, which is dandy for this hop-head, the malty sweetness just strong enough to support it. More pine and citrus zest in the flavor. It finishes on a dry bitter note, quited prolonged and satisfying. Very nice.
