Sep 2, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, carbonated copper body with a fizzy off-white head.
Smell: Aroma of fresh biscuits with a touch of caramel and hints of flowers.
Taste: Dry, flakey biscuit maltiness with only a thin dose of sweetness. There’s a moderate citric bitterness that slowly builds along with distinct mint-like flavor. Finishes bitter and lingering.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent, fairly easy-going IPA.

Aug 30, 2007 Bright, floral and spicy. Really touches all the bases of possible hops flavors. Some citrus, pine, resin, pepper, earthiness, etc. Really the floral character is what stands out, though. Has somewhat of an alcoholic flavor, but no real burn. Malt is also prominent, balancing nicely. Caramel and toffee abound. Nice full, darker malt flavors, allowing them to stand up, rather than some american attempts that give the hops nothing to stand on. Bitterness is ample for the style. Nicely palate cleansing, but not tongue scrapingly bitter. Body is full and mouthfeel is wonderfully slippery and smooth. While it pretends to be truly traditional, this is really a melding of the English and American styles. Either way, it is superbly done. Easily one of my favorite IPAs. Brilliant beer.

Aug 27, 2007 A highly drinkable, true to style, English IPA. Very earthy, not at all comparable to the APA’s of today. Still, nicely done.

Aug 23, 2007 Clear copper/golden with smaller head. Floral hops and caramel malts dominate the olfactory. The taste is a little subdued and malty with subtle hop bouquets emerging mid to late palate. A solid, drinkable IPA, but nothing extrordinary.

Aug 22, 2007 Bottle. Light and hoppy. Not much of a finish but a decent IPA for a cheap beer. Good session beer.
