May 3, 2009 3/10/09 From the bottle. Aroma is rich with faintly grassy earthy hops perfectly balanced with rich caramel malt. Appearance is clear copper with a very well maintained off white head. Flavor is a little more hop forward than the aroma, but still has a very good malt balance with a little more noticeable roast character. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with a very well maintained cream colored head. Overall, a big, very english brew. My only warning is to make sure to enjoy it cold, if this wams up that earhty note turns almost to dirt.

Apr 30, 2009 Draught at Najas Place. Pours clear gold with an average, white head, lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, meal), heavy hop (flowers, perfume, pine), average yeast (dough, sweat) with notes of peach, pear, and apple. Medium bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Apr 27, 2009 Updated: May 3, 200927/04/2009. 330ml bottle from www.beerstore.co.nz (bottle 01/26/2009). Balanced nose. Big biscuit dough and toffee malt with a huge resinous hoppy character all the way through. Herbal, spicy, pine. Very bitter. Really nice, possibly just a little too clean if I’m going to criticise - but hey, it ain’t English. Fairly dangerous...

Apr 25, 2009 Very nice IPA. Herbal and piney hops. Biscuity malt. Extremely refreshing, and hides the high alcohol very well. I’d be at the end of my third pint before realising I was in trouble I think! Great beer.

Apr 25, 2009 Guest draft @ Dark Lord Day. Pours copper with thin tan head. Aroma of citrus and pine. Aroma bitter flavor through out. Still angry none of the pizza port taps were working, but this was a great second choice.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle: Sent from San Diego to El Salvador, enjoyed with my brother and the former Beer Culture Coordinator from the local brewery. Brother preferred my home brew... all I can say is this is excellent!

Apr 23, 2009 Here’s my dirtly little secret... Firestone Walker Union Jack.
Similar hopping schedule to Pliny (Simcoe, Columbus which is Tomohawk in this brew, Centennial) the only diference is Cascade... but you can taste the difference.
The point being "YOU CAN TASTE THE DIFFERENCE". This little dark horse is up there. I got 6 and will probably get 6 more... crack into it - you’ll see!
