| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 3, 2007 Bottle. Poured a medium and clear orange color with a large sized off whtie head. Nice lacing left on the glass. Aromas of citrus, yeasty, a little soapy, and light caramel. Tastes of caramel and citrus. Tastes were on the weaker and somewhat watery side. Very light bitter finish. I would have guessed this was an Amber ale vs. an IPA. Borup (1360), Albertslund, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2007 Bottled. A lightly hazy and pale orange beer with a thin disappearing white head. The aroma is dominated by hops with orange and grapefruit. The flavour has very light notes of caramel and is very hoppy with again orange and grapefruit notes. Some malt sweetness but the finish is really bitter and persistent. Light to medium body, average carbonation, long dry finish. A tasty brew, quenching.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2007 Clear look with a fine white head.
Pretty standart for an IPA, floral hops and a smooth toffee malt character. Nice bitterness at first, but they seem to faint way too fast. Very enjoyable and drinkable overall saxo (3677), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2007 Bottle. Nice head with ok duration. Color is amber. Aroma is good and hoppy. Taste is likewise. Jukkabro (3039), Tampere, Finland
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2007 Coppery colored, medium sized yellow head. Bitter and hopped aroma with some soapy and perfumy notes, mild toffee and lemon also there. Medium bodied. Flavor is definitely Nils Oscar: dry and bitingly hopped with some toffee and flowery-fruits, aftertaste dries even more with some metallic note. Expected more of this, too dry and biting flavored, and not very traditional IPA for my taste.
