| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Very malty, almost nut-like flavor. smooth and substantial palate. A very nice beer but maybe not worth the price here in Vermont. VitaminR (442), Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Piney, not too overwhelming of a nose. Deep yellow/amber color. Had a nice malt/honey quality, some solid bitterness as well, almost like a typical American pale ale. A reserved and understated IPA by American standards for sure. This may not be for hopheads, but it is probably a better representation of the original IPAs. TipsyMcStager (928), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Light malty aroma. Pours a clear copper, nice firm head. Caramel, somewhat metallic. Mid range bitter finish. Ho hum, tastes and looks like every other beer out of the UK. Defreni (1027), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Flaske. Helt klart en attraktiv øl i betragtning af at jeg fik den kun 2 månedr inden best before. STadig frisk med humle og yderst drikbar, det er bare ikke min type øl. docsteigs (139), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 30, 2008 Pour clear amber with nice frothy head. Smells malty with less hop character than expected. Tastes clean with nice balance of hops and malt. Not as good as I had expected but okay. Missing the citrus and pine I’ve come to expect from American IPA’s. kidmartinek (1000), austin, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 30, 2008 Pours with a small off white foamy head. The brew is translucent amber. The aroma is malty and hearty. The beer has a mild bitter flavor like an IPA but less so. There is a faint aroma and taste of brown sugar, very faint, but good. Its remarkably smooth and tasty, medium full-bodied, and full-flavored. Oh yeah, and there’s excellent lacing on the glass, and the beer holds the rest of its carbonation well in the bomber. bassbuckeye (81), Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Poors nice amber orange with decent frothy head. Not to over bearing on the hopps but well balanced. Hint of peach and honey. I will get it again. CCGodwin (19), Hollywood, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 22, 2008 550 ml bottle. Pours amber color with large off white head. Floral aroma, some grass as well. Nice dry bitter finish, something I like in IPA’s. A decent beer, and I really enjoy the lingering floral finish.
