Amber/orange with good white head. Smells of sulphur and hops. Good malty body with hops coming through late on. Could still tast the bitterness an hour after leaving the pub. .Decent. berkshirejohn (1835), Bracknell, Berkshire, England

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Cask/GBBF. Golden with a small but lasting white head. Grassy aroma with a hint of butter. Dry and quite hoppy - for an ESB, not for the IPA name on the label. Aarleks (404), Sydney, Australia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 5, 2007 Handpump, Pub on the Park, London: Clea, beady gold with a fluffy white head. Cardbaord aromas dominate at first but some herbal hops and caramels come later. Nice orangy palate that has a pleasant acidity but a dissapointing cardboard finish. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland

Vastly better than the bottle! Golden, thin head. Floral but also punchy, almost pungent, hoppy aroma. Taste continues that - carried on a sweet but strong malty body. Sweetness and floral nature head towards honey. Long sticky and drying hoppy finish. Rastacouere (5565), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Clear light amber colour mounted by a large white head. A rather yeasty nose with full bready flavours, yet sharp incoming orangey, flowery hops that get the best of it. Kinda spicy, full-flavoured ale. Big and tasty, full bodied and generous, yet remaining relatively simplistic in its maltiness. Still a smooth and tamed sipper. oh6gdx (9106), Vasa, Finland
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 4, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity hops along with some earthyness. Flavour is honey, wood, nectar and fruity hops. Very wellbalanced and smooth. Some slight alcohol in it also. detroitsteel (233), Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2007 on draft, Old Kings Head SE1. What a lovely IPA. Coppery blonde body, small head. A dry, hoppy flavour with citrus notes, a touch of malt and dry straw. Long dry finish with bags of hops. A very good example of the style.
