Oct 8, 2006 Bottle... Hazy amber ale with a large, rocky, off-white head. Good retention. The nose is more malty than hoppy with notes of caramel, biscuit and shortbread. Mildly bitter, black tea flavor. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Finishes tannic and dry. English IPA, I think.

Jan 17, 2004 Draft: Pours a clear golden with a decent lightly lacing white head. Freah hoppy and sugary aroma. Body has a candy sweetness, without much caramel malt presence. The finish is bitter and dry. This could definitely use more balance.

May 20, 2004 Bottle. Typical American hoppyness, only this feels a bit tinny and a little short, lychee and pine, a bit rough around the edges.

Feb 5, 2007 Pale orange/amber with an originally good, yellowish head, slightly irregular. Very grapey, slightly resiny, typical USA-hops nose. I don’t know if it are really 43 kinds, but they’re good. (Quite) a bit of cakey malts, and some orangepeel-oils or mandarinepeel-oils, apart from the terpenes. Ends a bit soapy, in a good way. Dry bitterish taste, superposed on quite a lot of caramelly malts, sweet, but step by step the bitterness of the hopoils overwhelm. It halts just the right side of becoming metallic, but a kind of galvanic sour-e-rish taste is there. The balance is near 100% perfect. Slightly sharp, bit oily slickness, medium bodied. One of the best West Coast IPA’s I’ve ever had, and one of the, if not the best balanced. Big thanks to J. for this unexpected gift!

Dec 19, 2005 Orange beer with a small off white head. Light caramel malty aroma with a citric hoppy fruityness. Sharp hoppy bitterness along a low key malty sweetness.

Mar 19, 2004 Nice balance of caramel sweetness and citrusy hops, tinted with innocuous mango fruitiness…Once dropped in, the yeast impinges on the spicy oranges and a lasting, astringent bitterness prevails…A very good hop rush for hopheads, while being a bit lackluster...

Dec 20, 2005 Pours copper with a white head and lots of floaties. Smells of citrus, pine, yogurt, wildflowers. Tastes of citrus with some mellow wildflower notes.
