Mar 1, 2008 Bottle 0,355 l at Angleterre, Helsinki. Cloudy copper with very lacy head. Very nice nose of piney hops and cellary mustiness and hay. Flavor is intensely piney hoppy with very good bitterness backed up by maltiness. Very very good, I’d have this anytime, anyday.

Feb 29, 2008 Bottle. HUGE piney aroma with copious lychee, grapefruit, caramel, and fat, sticky hop buds. Man! Orangish body with a sticky, rocky white head. Taste is bready and hugely hoppy, bone-dry and sticky with big caramel and lesser pine. Crisp and assertive, but not over the top. Strong bitterness, full body, sticky feel. Resin only comes out at the long end of the aftertaste. Huge respect to this, from a brewery I’ve often panned.

Feb 28, 2008 Not well done. Draught at Circa. Too much hops without any meat beneath it. Balance is off. Maybe they can tweak the formula.

Feb 24, 2008 Updated: Nov 16, 2009Pours a hazy copper orange color with a white head. Aromas of hops and more hops -- strong pine and grapefruit. Moderately sweet flavor with lots of hops up front and finishes malty. Medium to full body with average carbonation.

Feb 23, 2008 Very straightforward IPA, if not a little bigger and heavier than some others. Flowery hoppy aroma. Just straight up bitter hoppy flavor. Nothing surprising and hard not to like.

Feb 22, 2008 Copper appearance, slight haze with a small but frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, slight pine and strong citrus--almost fruity in the combination. Flavor is reverse, the citrus is mild and pine is strong, and finish is malty. Grassy aftertaste. Very good beer.

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle. Hazy purple, thin head. Flowery hops in the nose, along with some grass. Flavour is of hop and hay with a touch of sweetness. Really heavy finish - hops galore! Highly recommended.

Feb 20, 2008 Superb US IPA. Creamy and puckeringly bitter. It’s a gorgeous-looking beer - marmalade cat, with a half-inch head that held the cratered imprint of the last few drips from the bottle. Superb head retention - a faultless-looking package. The aroma is a rich citric fruit salad with notes of lime cordial, lemon sorbet, peach melba and passionfruit. Medium-bodied with a thick creamy palate - yum. Lovely balanced flavours. Liquid bread and rough-cut marmalade leading into a zinging bitter finish. Very dry in the swallow. Bitter but very morish. Some warming alcohol is evident in the finish. (355ml bottle from IBS, Perth. BB May 08)
