Poured a deep, see through orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, somewhat fruity with some malts lurking in the background. Tastes of caramel and light citrus. Malty sweet with not much of a hoppy bitterness to it. Did not taste like an IPA, but drinkable. hopscotch (5483), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2009 Draft… Clear, deep gold ale with a creamy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. Floral, earthy aromas of pine, dried flowers, grapefruit and toffee. Medium to full-bodied and a touch oily with feather-light carbonation. Hefty, toffee sweetness compliments earthy, piney bitterness. Lengthy bitter, dry finish. bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA

Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and fresh grapefruity hops. Starts with good fullness and sweet caramely malt well-balanced with assertive resiny bittering hops before a crisp, bittersweet finish. An enjoyable and true to style brew.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 3, 2008 Tap at Ginger Man. Light golden beer with a thin white head. Massive fresh hoppy aroma. Pungent and very floral. Lavender and violet with a strong grapefruity tangerine fruitiness, mango and pineapple. Fruity and very juicy lemon citrus over a pale malt base. Light honeyish sweetness. Bright hop flavour, very fresh, and very tasty. Given the ratings, I’m surprised that this doesn’t have better ratings. A very tasty, sticky, fruity IPA. chriso (4796), London, Greater London, England

Big grapefruit hop hit on the nose. Even more on the palate. Pine & resin too. Lightish mouthfeel. Lingering tart bitterness. Good.
