| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Cask at The Pub downtown at 4th street live. 10 oz snifter pour. Dark slightly hazy brown with a big creamy long lasting beautiful and dense white head. Nice juicy citrus hops on the aroma and flavor. A bit boozy flavor. Soo smooth and creamy and perfect on the palate: god I LOVE cask ale. Overall: a very enjoyable brew, though I cant imagine it would be too special not on cask. talon1117 (628), Bellvue, Colorado, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 9, 2009 BB 02-02-10, batch 207, old version? The pour is marginal at best with a clear, pale orange color and a small, white, pillowy head which diminishes quickly to almost nothing and leaves no lace. Nose is pretty weak and certainly not hoppy; some butterscotch, buttery sweet bread, toasted grain, and apples. Flavor is a bit better with light toffee, buttered breads, toasted grains, mineral notes, light tangerine, and a more than moderate bitterness but astringent. Palate is light to medium, oily, watery, and soft to lively. Finish is astringent, bitter, and minerally. I understand it is an English style IPA but nothing in this one works. Did not finish my glass, let alone the bottle; not good. Madsnp (627), Odense C, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Bottle. Clear golden with a creamy white head. Aromas og caramel, peach, mango and citrus. Hoppy flavour of lemon, pine and herbs. Not that hardcore.. Cirrhosis (623), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Sad dull copper body with a pathetic looking cap floating on top. Watered down dull caramel malts, pine/floral hops and sweet aroma. WTF this is so soft and flat feeling the beer feels lifeless taste ok though I guess. Nice malty backbone with sweet floral hops and a dark bitter finish. Yecklwshabthad this feels nasty it like I’m wrapping my tongue in a slimy wet blanket. Tangerine and tobacco flavours are starting to appear. Still drinkable but I’ll never buy it again. BeerBunker (616), Burbank, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 10, 2008 Pours lighter than expected with a light orange color. Head dissapears instantly. Smells of hops and strong alcohol. Taste was very bitter without much hoppiness. Strong presence of alcohol in the taste. The alcohol overpowers everything else. Not easy to drink, due to bitter alcoholic flavor. Finishes harsh. CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Interesting cereal taste to this beer. Nicely backboned, but not a hell of a lot otherwise. Looks like natural cider and tastes almost a bit like it too. Increased overall impression score due to its uniqueness, but wouldnt buy this again. Fukito (604), Buenos Aires, Argentina
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 23, 2007 Bottle from Cornelius Edinbrugh, november 07. Sweet almost syrupy matliness, with some strong fruity notes and fruity hops flavor. Alcohol almost unnoticable albeit the obvious warmth for a 9%. Full to medium mouthfeel, tasty and big, but a bit too clumsy and obnubilating at some points. Lasting earthy aftertaste. Nice, earthy spicy hops aftertaste. Fruity, spicy slighty piney aroma. Nice but not up to par with flavor. Clear, rather pale golden color with a small white head. Powerfull, flavorfull strong IPA. tlind2 (604), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 12 oz bottle in November (don’t know the BBD). Cloudy golden color, white head. Hoppy aroma with pine notes. Bitter, hoppy flavor with some alcohol, biscuity malts and grapefruit, dry finish. Full body, medium-light carbonation. It’s ok.
