| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Aromas I get bubblegum, peaches, sugar and apricot and (unusually) the new-furniature smell. But I like it. The aromas remind me a lot of cutting into fresh fruit, like a rock melon. SO awesome.
Flavours - mild bitterness mixes with a perfect sweet, caramel malt. Turns into juicy fruit with banana, pineapple, passionfruit.
Relatively full bodied. I like this a lot. jca4711 (5), Kirkland, Washington, USA does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Very nice thick head and the retention was unbelievable. Beautiful golden orange color. A very solid mix of malt and hops on such a highly hopped beer. Light mouth feel with citrus/orange and grass. The hops linger very long, but in a strangely good way. This beer made me a true believer in ECB. fonefan (11929), VestJylland, Denmark

Unclear medium orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, fruity, moderate hoppy, orange. Flavor is light heavy sweet and peel bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090725] BarossaLuke (114), Australia
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Very good IPA. Lots of rich hop aroma with some caramel malt too, but the hops are definately the winner here. Palate is filling with malt richness and a good level of bitterness without being over the top. A very good example of a US IPA. bluevegie (2230), Perth, Australia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Lasting white head on a slightly hazy golden body. Lovely aroma of hops, grapefruit and citrus, taste is delightful, enough bitterness without being over the top but lasts well until the last drop. Enjoyed this.

This turned out to be a great recommendation from the bartender. I thought it was a really fresh IPA that had tons of citrus and no harsh bitterness. gam (1128), brisbane, Australia

Big hoppy aroma, with lots of citrus and pine.. Very fruity, well-balanced flavor with a burning hop finish and good fruit throughout. A great beer; the surprise of the day.
