Shared at the Carolina Crew Tasting by Oldstylecubfan. Pours a copper orange with a one finger creamy orange head. The nose smells really astringent and bitter, really upront hops, a bit grainy, and lightly sweet. Taste is very bitter, sweet, has a cardboard/corn oxidation feel. Generally agreed upon to be not very good. Really waxy and biting palate.

Aug 20, 2008 Interesting hop aroma, dare I say I bit smoky or spicy? The mouthfeel is soft, the caramelly taste very pleasant in case you need a solid session beer. Not as extreme as many examples of the style but certainly an interesting and good ipa.

Aug 13, 2008 bottle 330ml from Alko EXP 04/08 forgot to home cellar...
light brown transparent creamy head scent:pine hops
Taste: sharp pine grapefruity hops fizzy hints of sweetness but this piney hops kicks over it.might turned bit aggressive hoppy. I tasted one bottle on springtime and it was an easier experience. An easy beer is not my target.

Jul 28, 2008 Copper colour with a lasting small head. The aroma is quite fruity and hoppy. The flavour is malty, citrus and hops. Medium-bodied with a long, bitter and dry aftertaste. There is something in the aftertaste that I didn’t like, but on overall it’s quite good.
