Hermod (245), Vantaa, Finland Oct 27, 2009 50cl bottle, local store. Pours hazy orange color, thin to no head. Aroma is very fruity, flavor has hints of lemon, flowery and bitter. Dry finish, Very drinkable. Bov (5403), Bienne, Switzerland Oct 18, 2009 courtesy of Allen - hazy dark blond colour with a little foam left; a solid flowery hoppiness, good malt body and with a very present bitterness; very long bitter, flowery and slightly fruity finish mcdav2154 (289), Germany Oct 12, 2009 Clear straw colored body with a 2 finger white head. Spot lacing. Smell is very floral and hoppy. Taste also has lemon peel notes with some sweetness on the front. Enjoyable and refreshing! Allen (1285), Switzerland Sep 30, 2009 Bottled 50cl. Beautiful golden beer with a nice big creamy, nicely lasting white head. Both aroma and taste are very nice- hoppy, citrusy, earthy with hints of candy, homemade caramel, crackers, mint and licorice. Good malt and hop profile. Subtle carbonation. Remarkable lacework. Slight naphtalin, mothball-like components are detectable, especially on the nose. Otherwise a very good beer. Dry finish which makes you eager to drink more. sound67 (157), Offenbach, Germany Sep 14, 2009 50cl bottle. Slightly hazy pale yellow colour, wee white head. Fresh fruit (lemon and ginger) on the nose, with a healthy hoppy background. Same lemony touch on the palate, but it’s the hops that dominate. Lasting bitter finish and after taste. This is a characterful, straightforward IPA that will undoubtedly please fans of this particular style - which includes me. ;=) DeanF (285), Paris, France Sep 8, 2009 Nice citrus aroma with some hints of alcohol on the nose. Looks pretty good, great head, good colour and nice bubbles coming up. Taste is a little watery however, with some dry hops notes and grains. Good mouthfeel. A good refreshing beer for a warm day. LordCrabapple (83), Merseyside, England Aug 28, 2009 Dry, bitter, hoppy. A little sweetness, perhaps, but this beer should be dry. Rather splendid ale, what! I like mine cold for the bitterness, but let it approach manor temperature, as I sit and watch the huntsmen ready their steeds. Good luck, friends! What better ale to sip in the study, contemplating the history of one’s estate. Seventy-nine pence at Home Bargains, so affordable to the working man! Bravo, I say! MoritzF (4859), Bochum, Germany Aug 18, 2009 (bottle) Slightly hazy, golden colour with a big and slowly lacing foamy white head. Fresh lemon-fruity and ginger-spicy hoppy aroma with a mildly sweet pale malty background. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy, slightly fizzy carbonation. Pale malt-character with a present fruity hops profile; dry and bitter, also minimal sweet and fruity as well as slightly spicy hoppy finish. Nice session beer lacking some depth (18.VIII.09).
