Bottle. Nice amber color. Aroma is hoppy with hints of grapefruit and also some caramel. Pretty sweet and hoppy taste with fruity notes and hints of caramel.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle, 65cl - Orange colored hazy beer with a heavy off white head. Aroma is rather sweet with hints of citrus fruits and flowery cascade. Flavor is also rather sweet and malty with a good balanced hoppiness to it. A very fresh IPA, highly drinkable. Good for IPA beginners!

does not count  Jul 9, 2008 Pretty good though not spectacular. Drank it during the same session as The Maharaja so it may have just been comparatively disappointing.

Jul 9, 2008 Bomber. Pours a copper color with a thick off-white head. Very nice sticky lacing. Aroma is malty with a citrus hop scent. Caramel malts are strong in the flavor with some cereal along with citrus hops, with mild to moderate bitterness. Pretty good beer but something was a little off preventing it from being any better. The hops don’t finish off strong, the malts are a little heavy (for an IPA) for my liking and there’s a mild cereal/grainy thing going on that I wasn’t too fond of. Overall not amazing but a good session IPA. I do think I paid too much for it though.

Jul 1, 2008 courtesy of Per Forsgren - hazy amber colour with a little beige foam and a nice lace; very hoppy aroma, flowery, apricot; good and regular malt body, sweet and very bitter, long bitter flowery and fruity finish - refreshing, balanced and bitter: a solid and very drinkable one

Jun 28, 2008 Pours clear amber with off white head. Citrusy aroma. Mild hop flavor balanced with sweet malt. Medium body with average carbonation. An average IPA. Not bad, but for less money I’ll take a SN Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale over this any day for a fresh hop ale.
