Aroma is rich with nice flowers and slight perfumy tones, bitter hops dominating. Medium bodied, rather full for 4.7%. Flavor is also intense with dominating flowery hops, lemon and some caramel.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 12, 2007 Excelllent aroma of cirtus and a hint of floral hops. Pale orange color with a medium white head with good lacing. Less bitter than the aroma leads you to think. Sweet bitter finish and a little watery palate.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 10, 2007 355ml bottle at 4.7% ABV (for Finnish alcohol tax reasons presumably).
Floral, citrus and light fruits aroma - the US IPA fingerprint. Taste is similarly typical of the modern US bastardisation of the IPA style. Unsubtle bitterness, fairly metallic, and not well-cordinated with the otherwise fairly pleasant maltiness. Unsophisticated and not a good example of an IPA. For that, skip this, and hit the classic instead. Bullit (1334), Glasgow, Scotland

Bitter-sweet flavours with citrus and syrup. Flowery. Long bitter aftertaste. Tranquillity (1165), Espoo, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 10, 2007 I must say I prefer this to the Classic Pale ale. I had the 0.355l bottle with 4.7% alc. Nice flowery, a bit bbq aroma. Intense perfume and pepper in the taste. The flavours hit you and stay for a long time. Good one, it almost tastes Brittish ;) caesar (3028), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands
