Orange amber body, small white head fades (3+). Ambiguous citrus and mild resin in aroma is understated but rich, very nice. Orangey citrus in the flavour is strong but not in your face hops. Second bottle is more lemon than orange, too its slight detriment in my opinion. (8+) Average to medium palate (3+). Alcohol is almost invisible - am surprised to see it listed as high as it is. This is a very drinkable IPA and still manages to have depth of character. Nice. Thanks for sharing Harry. Possible the best beer I have had in a while.

Bottle. Pours an orange amber body with an off white head. Big hop profile, floral and earthy with some grapefruit and citrus and some spicy pine. Moderate malt backbone with the hops are the aggressor. good.

Bottle. [Thanks madsberg for sharing] Small white fizzy and quickly goon head. Clear sparkling body with an amber colour and very spar lacing. Very floral notes with grapefruit, pine, elderflower. Also notes of caramel, liquorish and fruit. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and a dry texture. Moderated bitter flavour with some liquorish sweetness. Light bitter and dry finish.

This bottled brew marked 8/06 poured a medium sized head of foamy off-white colored finely sized bubbles that left behind a carbonated transparent orange colored body. The aroma was hoppy. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish. The flavor was also simply described as hoppy.

Draft at Taphouse @ Ghent, 8/5/06: Nice! Big soapy head. Slick to the tongue. Grapefruit, mostly, but not as puckeringly tart. Almost too hoppy without a firm basis, like building a great house on a crappy piece of land. But excellent.

Bottle. Amber, low head. Peach and nektarine hop aroma. Sweet perfumed and fairly fruity notes carry over into the flavor. Fairly light body, light sparkly mouthfeel. Orangepeel aftertaste.

Poured a dark golden color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus fruits, some pine resin, light spices, and caramel malts. Tase of grapefruit, tropical fruits, citrus fruits, light malts, and no alcohol for being 7.5. A well balanced IPA, that is nothing to be ashamed of.
