Mar 7, 2008 Tasted from 2006 notes. Rich amber colour, Aromas of mutued stonefruits and a touch citrus. Odd given the hop description, expecting different. Decent palate, nice flowery hop character, juicy with a touch of warm hop character to finish. Decent

Feb 17, 2007 Hoppy nose. Pours very red with a medium fluffy head. Flavour is hoppy and dry but unfortunately slightly thin and watery. All told it’s not bad, but not amazing.

Oct 6, 2006 A pleasant enough beer to drink, spoilt only by the high price (even here in the south island of New Zealand where it is brewed). The head did not last at all long but the flavour was enough to see me go back for seconds.

Sep 16, 2006 Bottle (and a pretty cool one for a change!): Very slightly hazy amber with a large off-white head. Hoppy aromas of citrus, pine, caramelised orange, over a broad spicy herbal base. Dominant orange hop flavours, much like the aromas. Sharp, but short hit of bitterness that is replaced by a dull, carboardy crystal malt tone.Very drying and possibly a little over carbonated.

Sep 14, 2006 Treacle / dark orange appearance. Sweet pineapple aromas. Good bitter sweet balance. Consistant frothy head and bubbles with a medium body. I personally didn’t think it was bitter enough for an IPA, but a great bevvy anyways.
