| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 13, 2008 330ml bottle (Angleterre, Helsinki, IPA weeks 2008)
Pale greeny yellow, tiny head. Slightly chemical aroma - sweet plasticky malt, some hops too. Sticky hoppy mouthfeel. Malty and hoppy taste - some roastiness in the malt. Also tastes of alcohol. Finish perverts the taste into an astringent chemical mush of synthetic byproducts and alcohol. Not big and not clever. And the label’s full of self-indulgent bullshit.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Bottle that I picked up at Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon and consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light gold with a nice white head. There is a slight thick honey sweetness and its hoppy with also some lovely silky, citrusy, and tangy sweetness. This really was quite hoppy but I’d had the Ruination beforehand so I think the effect had been diminished ever so slightly, still this is a great beer. larsniclas (3390), Gothenburg, Sweden

Deep golden colour, solid white head. Sweet and hoppy, where sweetness dominates. Would gain from ageing. At present, t’s just a mish-mash of bold, sweet big-ness. ratman197 (3256), Arvada, Colorado, USA
