| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 31, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at Hamilton Hall, London. Cloudy orange coloured body with a detergent styled head (patchy froth). Crappy aroma, strong bitterness. Americans would die if they were handed this and told it was an IPA. It miles away from the hoppy style that they’re used to and quite frankly its crap beer regardless. Don’t care for the venue either. TBone (6844), Pori, Finland

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2004 Nice amber bodied brew has a good hoppy aroma and lots of hoppy bitterness in the flavour profile. This is an excellent example of an English IPA. I wish I had gotten to this one earlier in the year as I am left wondering if it might have been even better in the summer. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Lovely aroma of caramel, fruity hops, & orange marmalade. Thick, sticky palate. Good malt flavour of caramel, orange syrup & marmalade. Earthy hop finish. Good, subtle balance.
