| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 29, 2006 Bottle. Copper coloured with a large white head. Aroma is hoppy with citrus, spices and perhaps a touch of barnyard. A pretty hoppy taste too, some spices and oranges and a long lightly bitter finish. Medium bodied, softly carbonated. I like it. voota (765), Melbourne, Australia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2006 Clear copper with a large white head. Great retention and lacing. Aroma of yeast, apple, caramel and flowers. The body feels quite thick and creamy, giving flavours of caramel, earthy, flowery hops. Well balanced and perfectly bitter. Smooth hoppy finish, perhaps a little buttery. thebeertourist (2822), Oslo, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2006 Bottle. Orangey amber, hazy with a big offwhite head. Hoppy citrus and apples aroma. Caramel sweetness marry with citrus and fruity hops flavours. Good bitterness. Medium to full body. A great IPA, almost American-style with its potency. omhper (12298), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2006 Bottled. Amber colour, large but brief head. Perfumy hop aroma with notes of peach and melon. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Light caramelly malt backs the wealth of unsual perfumy hops. Dusty finish with powerful bitterness. A damn fine English IPA! larsniclas (3390), Gothenburg, Sweden

Amber with a large and bubbly head.
Sourish aroma with citrus and hops.
Fine maltiness with chocolate-notes. Also some vegetables... maeib (4767), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 8, 2006 Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a wispy off white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy, but thet are not the aromatic American hops that may have qualified it as an IPA, more the soapy English hops with a bit of peppery quality that qualify it as a Prem Bitter. The taste is a good balance of hop and malt. Again there is a soapy and peppery character, and a good level of English bitterness. A tasty beer using a hop I’d not heard of. pilsnerrogge (1792), Finspång, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2006 [Bottle] Amber, somewhat unclear color. Dense head. Aroma is fruit, toffee and a little bit of liquorice. Flavour is more toffee followed by a nice hoppy bitterness. rickgordon (3331), Göteborg, Sweden

Amber colour with a good, remaining creamy head. Aroma is earthy hoppy, with notes of lead and citrus. The hop bite in flavour strikes you immediately, here is loads of alpha acids. Nice. Rounded mouthfeel. The bitterness after is dry and fruity and lasts long. There is a touch of lead all along. Pretty light body after all, at 5,6%. 50 IBU? Not bad for an English India Pale Ale.
