| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving some laces. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel notes. The finish is dry and hoppy but the general impression is that this is smooth and accessible. Sometimes less is more - this is no huge IIPA - just a lovely balanced brew. 160607 Grovlam (3810), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Bottle. Small creamy off-white head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Clear sparkling body with an amber color. Aroma was caramel, elderflower, grapefruit, pine, citrus and other floral notes. Also some honey and peach like smoothness over this IPA. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation and dry texture. Only light sweet flavor with moderated bitter notes from the hops. Somewhat lingering floral finish. bhensonb (4359), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2007 Bomber. Aroma of malt, not smelling much hop. What there is seems floral. Amber color with an off-white head that might be trying to lace, or not. Medium bodied, starting with hop, and the malt shows more in the body than the flavor. There’s sweetness, but it’s not really malty, more sugary. Maybe stone fruit flavor with the sugar. Finishes well balanced. Nice bitter. It’s no one thing; it’s the overall aspect. It’s pretty good. pivo (2537), Germany
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 20, 2007 Big hop aroma, nice deep amber color. Broad sweet hop infusion iwth a lingering bitter. Fat, with a body that supports the hops. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2007 Aroma of floral grassy hop ,not quickly but eventually backed up by caramel cake , taste is tangy pine with a tart citrus finish,that reminds me of orange rind,very different and unique,smooth bitter hop finish.You can get to the point where these ipa’s start tasting the same,so any little difference,like this orange rind finish ,gets extra points from me. Thanks Kingpin
