definitive English IPA. if you like your IPA’s with a nice piney, citrusy flavor, forget this. if this beer was made in the states it would be a solid APA. fuggles and goldings hops do not perform the best for an IPA and this one proves that, not bad, good alcohol content, nice smoothness, but not what a true blooded american looks for in an IPA.

Dec 15, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours a lightly cloudy, medium, amber body and small head. Fair lacing. Malty, nutty caramel cut by hops reminiscent of spruce. Yeast suggests broth and dough. Slight clove and banana. Pair with a game bird. Pheasant would be delicious.

Dec 1, 2009 750 ml bottle. Amber orange colour, thick and creamy off-white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and pine. The flavour is sweetish, malty, with grapefruit and spices and a lingering, bitter, pine-like hoppy finish. Very tasty.

Nov 27, 2009 Draught at Local Taphouse, Melbourne. Clear golden with a decent creamy white head. Big fruity aroma and luscious pine hop notes. The flavour is stone fruit, citrus and herbs/grass. Heaps of bitterness that follows right through to the finish. A fantastic IPA! A big cheers to Dave for making this happen!

Nov 27, 2009 Tap. Nice and creamy. Aromas of grass, and pine. Flavour is long-lasting, with a sweet malt start, taken over by bitterness. Creamy in the palate, medium body. Orange, with a creamy white head that lasts.

Nov 21, 2009 Red-brown beer with big white head. Aroma is quite mild, some pine needles, fruits and lemon. Flavour is nice sweetness together with bitter, resin, grapefruit and citrus fruits. Nice carbonation with medium body makes this beer nice to drink. Citrus fruits with some nuancees from US IPA but this is not so fruitfull and there are some balancing sweetnes. Big bottle disappears quicly that is good sign of great brewing.

Nov 7, 2009 Flavors of old dry hops, unbalanced spices, and old tea. Gave me a headache. OK, I can get down with British style IPAs, but this just missed the mark. The bottle is probably a year old. Maybe its best when its super fresh. Regardless, I can’t give this high marks as this was a poor drinking experience. Won’t recommend this to anyone at my store. In fact, I’m putting it on close out. Please go away....

Oct 30, 2009 750ml bottle, shared with Stefan 24.Oct.09 at Hell Hunt, Tallinn. Clear amber, with large but diminishing, white foamy head. Flowery aroma with notes of pineapple and orange. Tastes of hops and dates, with hints of tangerine, cinnamon, cardamom and brown sugar. Pleasant citrus finish.
