| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2009 (Bottle, Bishop’s Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with a brief, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, citrus, grainy malt and hints of rubber. Fruity taste with apricots, citrus, grainy malt and grassy, citrussy hops in the finish. Fairly light body, dryish finish. Lacking some malt structure to balance the tasty hop profile. maeib (4725), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Bottled A bright gold beer with a short lived off white head. From a distance the cardboard aroma of pasturisation is pungent and off putting yet up close there are good hops. Citrus orange notes in a sticky marmalade background. The taste has those hop notes too, but this time the cardboard comes last. A mish mash of experiences.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 2, 2009 Bottle from Tesco. Gold with a slight haze and generous white head. Hoppy aroma at once both flowery and slightly citrus. Hoppy grapefruit flavours are nicely balanced sweet maltiness. Light enough palate to drink on a hot summer’s day. Pretty decent bottled IPA but not quite up there with the American trailblazers. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England
