Canned. Acopper/amber coloured beer with practically no aroma certainly no hops, just a certain tinniness. The taste has some malt and a touch of bitterness. It tastes like a 4 for £1 supermarket bitter.

Can. Pale brown colour, thick white toffee head. Strong flowery hops in the aroma, maybe some burned malt. Too bitter for my taste. Pluspoints for the sweeter aftertaste. Feels extremely dry in the mouth.

A very dull, flat, lifeless IPA. Nothing offensive, but wouldn’t recommend it.

Bottle. Nice head with ok duration. Color is amber. Aroma is not very strong but is vaguely hoppy. Taste is mostly hops (but weak for an IPA).

Poured golden pale light orange, a bit more colored than an American macro (but not much). Head was nice and fluffy with a nice show of little carbonation bubbles, but the lacing didn’t follow as well. The aroma was a mixture of wet dog, grass, and a rosey-spicey type scent - odd and couldn’t place it. The flavor, was watered down, somewhat of a session ale, but with a really weak mouthfeel. I don’t need hop craziness, but this isn’t even an English Pale Ale, let alone an IPA. Coulda told me it was a pale lager, and I would have believed.

Stale cigarette smoke aroma. Clear red amber colour with fair head and lacing. Bitter malt hop flavour with stale aftertaste. Flat palate.

14 Apr 2006 - Cigarette smoke aroma. Clear brown colour, good head and lacing. Big hoppy and cigarette malt flavour. Hoppy thin finish.

(500 ml can: $2.29 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Yeesh, not a whole lot going on with this beer. It has a thin and watery body, a flat and lifeless mouthfeel, a gentle hop bitterness, and a lightly nutty maltiness. Not very flavorful and not very good. And oh yeah, it tastes a bit metallic in the finish too. About the only thing I like with this beer is the nutty aroma. The body is clear copper in color, but the off-white head is small on the pour, soon fading to a thin ring. Blah, won’t buy this beer again, that’s for sure!
