Aug 3, 2008 335ml bottle at the White Horse, 12th July 2008 with renffisch. Pours a clear goldenish copper colour with a lacy white head. Has an enchanting aroma of hops, marzipan, orange blossom and other essential oils. On the tongue, it feels more restrained than most American IPAs. The soft, creamy palate helps to make it a pleasure rather than a chore to drink for non-hop heads! A very good single IPA.

Jul 30, 2008 Citrusy floral aroma. Pour a light golden color. Flavor followed the aroma of citrusy and floral with hops. There was some carbonation and it finished bitter. Almost could not tell it was an IPA until the end as the hop flavor was smooth.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. Aroma citrusy and fruity, playful. Flavor only mildly bitter, bordering between IPA and APA, a touch more of the caramelly malt than in a typical APA. Not bad, but not impressive.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours golden with nicely sized head. Aroma of floral and grassy hops. Flavor is quite well balanced, but the hop character wasn’t nearly as hard hitting as I was hoping for. A bit mild actually. Flavorful, well balanced, and quite drinkable however, this makes a great summer brew.

Jul 18, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours yellow color, typical pale alt with decent head. I found this more malty than hoppy. I found it to very bland for an IPA.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottled from Beers Of Europe. Pale amber with steady carbonation. Thin yet consistent head. Wet hop nose, faintly malty bits where the hop smack was expected. Fairly plain but certainly quaffable.
