| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 1, 2004 Smells somewhat skunked. Very very watery mouthfeel. High priced. Lacks hops for an IPA. Very disappointing. Belly Full O Beer (57), Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 27, 2004 Nice refreshing beer. Head died down very fast (was poured wrong and a had a half glass of foam for only a minute). macdeffe (52), Århus, Denmark
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 26, 2004 This is a big dissapointment and that is mostly because of the label IPA. It has nothing to do with a IPA IMHO. It’s more like a Scottish ale and is the least hoppy McEwan’s I have got. Got it on the export bottle Skip (206), Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2004 After being disappointed at not finding this on tap as advertised, I tasted the bottle. Well balanced aroma with, of course, the hops predominant. Hoopy, clean taste with a nice hopos aftertaste. Failed my one minute head retention trial. turbo (1254), Arizona, USA

Aroma is a bit soapy, roasty malt.
Flavor is malty and sweet with hints of caramel and raisins.

Devaney (1), Canada does not count | 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 13, 2004 500 ml can. This is the worst IPA I’ve ever had. It lacks bitterness and aroma. Horrible ! !
