| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle - Poured a slightly cloudy darkish orange-amber in color with a small whitish head that quickly faded to a thin covering over the beer with a fair amount of lacing on the glass. Aroma is surprisingly malty and slightly sweet... not nearly the amount of hops that I expected. Flavor is strong of flowery hops with medium bitterness. Decent malt structure backing up the hops. Finish is fruity with plenty of malt and a lingering hop bitterness. I really like this one... not a traditional IPA in my mind, but really good... Theis (3791), Denmark

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 4, 2008 Bright amber colour. Thin head. The aroma is a strange mix of phenols and earth. Earthy, woody taste with moderate bitterness and a hint of diacetyl. OK, but doesn’t go that far in terms of pleasing me, on account of the diacetyl and phenols.
