Oct 29, 2007 Bottle picked up from Utobeer at Borough Market, Southwark, London, 27-10-07 Dark amber in appearance with a nice white head and super clarity. Caramel and butterscotch compete for attention with the ever present hops on the nose. A streaky bitterness with pine, citrus some grapefruit pith but well balanced with nice warm honey flavours finishing off proceedings.

Oct 2, 2005 Updated: Sep 4, 2006(Stockholm Beer Festival 2005) Hazy orange, nice creamy offwhite head. Very hoppy and spicy aroma, orange and with floral notes, dry and with citrus and grapefruit. Very, very hoppy flavor, dry, grassy, pine notes and some malty notes can also be found next to the almost extreme hoppiness. Great to feel how almost no alcohol comes through.

Deep orange colour. Big flowery, pine nose. Aggressive hop bite from start to end. Still good balance of hops and malt. Mandarin notes. Burning alcohol touch. Salty all along, that lasts minutes after, in its hop bitterness. This is more-ish.

Jun 28, 2005 Updated: Feb 25, 2006Rerate: This time I can safely say that it isn’t too hoppy, it’s just right. Goes down so easy. An awesome IPA.
Original rating: 8*4*7*4*16. Bottle shared with tupalev at Bar Volo. Pours a dark orange with an average frothy white head. Aroma is heavy on the hops and quite citrusy. Just the right amount of carbonation. Flavour has a heavy bitterness with a long finish. The taste: Holy hops!! KAPOW! One sip and it’s like a punch of hops to the lips. I’m a hophead and even I questioned if this was too hoppy? Is that possible? Hides the alcohol really well. Totally unique.

Jul 24, 2005 22-oz. bottle. Pours ruby gold with a tall rocky caramel off-white head and great spotty lacing. Sweet fruit hop and a little pine and citrus hop to join in with raspberry and berry notes. Sweet fruit hop start with a pine finish. Light to medium bodied with a clean crisp finish.

Jul 26, 2005 Poured a darker orange with a foamy off white head that laced the glass. Strong aroma of bubblegum, orange and floral hops. Strong but very balanced hop flavor, mainly due to the perfect addition of malts. Picking up some grapefruit, other citrus and a pine finish. A great imperial IPA. I think I like DFH’s 90 min a bit more. But this one is still very solid. Glad I picked this up even though I was not farmiliar with the brewery.
