| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a medium cloudy yellow/beige color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of english dry hops with a floral component is dominating and quite enjoyable. Taste is a mix between some malt that is quite dry as well as a hoppy finish with a dry aftertaste. Body is above average with low filtration and low carbonation. I have really been digging the English hops lately and this was very rewarding. Maria (6265), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2007 It’s dark golden with a nice head. The aroma has hoppy and malty notes, just like the flavour, where I also get notes of caramel, fruit and a nice spicy, citrussy bitterness. It’s nice, but it’s a pity the alcohol is present in the flavour. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Bottle. Poured a light amber color that was slightly hazy with a creamy white head that leaves thick lacing. The aroma was slight subdued with hops present. The flavor had floral hops with a citrus mix. Light body. bu11zeye (5510), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of tart grapefruit, mustiness, white grapes, dried strawberries, and florals. Flavor of citrus and floral hops, funkiness, malt, and some woodiness. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 2, 2007 Wow. Very nice Brit IPA. Murky brownish gold, huge fluffy white head. Nice soft hop aroma. Definite presence of English hops in the flavor ... less citrusy bite to me than most American IPAs. Sweet caramel maltiness with a touch of maple. Great lingering aftertaste, semi-sweet. And, of course, that Burton water. A great ale. ChristianScheffel (4529), Odense, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 2, 2007 Dark golden with a medium lasting head. Citrus light hop aroma. Bitter and rich flavour with some alcohol. NachlamSie (1641), Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2007 Bottle during my NC brew tour. Pours a very hazy caramel color with a firm assertive white head. The nose is heavy of citrusy pineapple, leathery meat, and burning leaves. I think this is one of the more aggressive aromas I’ve encountered on a British brew. The flavor is woody and has a quality almost akin to aged tequila. Zesty citrus highlights everything. The brew is not too sweet with an oaken, spiritous finish. Quite bold. Not bad. harrisoni (6802), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 22, 2007 500ml bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Hazy mid brown colour with lasting beige head. Good fruits and malt aroma. Dry malts in mouth, earthy hops throughout. Quite toffeeish. Some grapefruit. Rounded in mouth. Quite lovely hop on end. Quite a good toffee hop mix. Been looking for this for some time and I love the label. A little disappointed, expected more hop maybe.
