Sep 7, 2009 Bottle from batch 207. Pours a cloudy orange hue with no head. Sweet hoppy and fruity nose. Medium mouthful with a huge amount of malts. Overbalanced? I don’t think so because there are big Citrusy hop notes to match the malt. I’ve had this before and liked it less. This batch is imperial and very good.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle, from Sainsburys, Hessle- batch 195 bbe 15/07/10. Deep gold, thin but lasting white head and gentle condition. Big hop resin nose but not quite as raw as with the Chaos Theory, some solid malty sweetness in the background along with bready notes and a fruity spirit kick. Full and sweet in the mouth with hints of toffee, citrus and peach, theres plenty of hop bitterness attempting a balance but as with the Chaos it appears, erm, somewhat chaotic at times, finish is alcoholic, full and sweet with a solid hop resin note but muted bitterness , and ulitimately quite sticky.

Sep 4, 2009 Pours burnt orange with gold highlights and a moderate to small white head. Aroma is piny and fruity, but like some strange flowers I’ve never smelled before; also with lemon, unoaked chardonnay, and a slight white chocolate malt base. Tastes sweet at first with white chocolate, white bread, and brown sugar, sweet orange and lemon citrus, slight pine, and plants. Finishes with linger sugar-coated citrus that’s kinda tangy, fruity, and plenty bitter. Medium bodied, light-ish carbonation, very soft mouthfeel. Decent and interesting, it’s got some finesse aside from the bitterness.

Sep 3, 2009 Batch - 297/287??? The label reads "297 (or 287 - I can’t make it out) 02/02/10 OK - this one found some brett in its yeast profile and has started going the way of the Superfunk. DO no dispair, however! It all works in this bitter IPA.Aroma is superb, with notes of horseblanket, bitter malt and bitter hop. Flavor is bitter, but not cloying. Dry, but bitter on finish. Interesting experiment. The name does fit, however, just like their Punk IPA fit that name. It’s brash, its in your face, its bitter and it has no malts to comfort you - so you either like hops or not.

Sep 3, 2009 Cask. Pours gold with a white head. Hoppy aroma, floral and citric. The flavor focuses more on bitterness than actual hop flavor. Some notes of citrus, pine and caramel malt. I would not describe this beer as graceful.

Sep 2, 2009 From the new 22.4 oz bottle. Best before 10/29/10. Purchased for 5.99, a lot cheaper than these use to be. Pretty good stuff actually, better than I expected it to be. very drinkable IIPA. Not too bitter and not too sweet. A solid bitterness lingers on the tongue though. A light piney and earthy flavor to this one. Pretty solid IIPA that I would drink again if i know its fresh.

Sep 2, 2009 Bottle from Corks, Bristol (batch 220). Orange with next to no head and moderate carbonation. Sweet, corny and orange aroma with a touch of pine. Sweet malt and pine needle aroma with a finish more caramel than hoppy, with some burning alcohol in the finish. Disjointed.
