| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Tap at RNH. Amber pour with a thin white head. the nose is very hoppy. Fresh and grassy with a lot of orange peel and sweet tropical fruit. It’s a quite nice, lingering hoppiness on the back. A light touch of pale crystal malt on the back adds a kiss of sweetness to the orange/tangerine hoppiness. A solidly assertive bitterness. Lubiere (4537), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 27, 2009 Rocky, foamy head atop a hazy light orange. Lots of carbonation. Head is stubborn. Color changes with light and depth/thickness.
Nice floral and citrusy hops in the smell. Malts are dry and bready. Citrus and mild pine needles. Sweet, perfumey, floral; outstanding.
Hops first, a little chlorine in the taste. Malts are pale and bready. A bitter IPA, which would use more of a balance. Definitely solid, could be a bit more malty.
The feel is thick and creamy. Fizzy. It’s a really nice, fragrant IPA. Could have more malts in the taste. Solid, unbalanced. cgarvieuk (4195), Edinburgh, Scotland
