Aug 19, 2008 2008-08-16. Crisp orange body, modest creamy beige head<. Grassy resiny hop aroma. Similar flavour, grassy resin, light herbal character to the hops. Average palate. Pleasant but surprisingly average. Bottle, Coles IPA Festival, Buffalo

Aug 18, 2008 Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a bottle. Pours a hazy dark amber-orange color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes slowly. Small patches of lacing. Grapefruity hops aroma with a malty undertone. Medium, crisp body with citrus hops, pine and malt flavors balanced effectively. The finish is fresh hops and citrus with a lingering bitterness left behind. Solid APA all around.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottled - thanks to Phil_L at beermerchants.com. I like the deep orange body. I like the disappearing foamy head that can be whipped back into frothiness with a swish of the wrist. I like that you can actually hear the beer reacting in the glass when you do that. I like the searing pine hops in the nose, I like its aggressive nature, assured balance, smooth feel, lingering bitterness, lasting hop oil feel. Damn, the only thing I don’t like is that this is my last bottle.

Aug 15, 2008 This American Pale ale pours a medium amber brown color from a 50cl bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head with nice lacing and good retention. The aroma is piney hops and caramel malts. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are piney and citrusy. Very aggressively hopped for an APA, yet despite all the bitterness there is a nice malt backbone. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle at home purchased from Cave Direct Beer Merchants (Mixed case of Mikkeller Beer) Pours orange amber with a wonderful clarity, off white head. Tasting hoppier than the Struisse Mikkeller beer had earlier, hops very fresh and zingy. Pithy and resiny hops, finish is quite dry, very good beer.
