Floral hop aroma. Nice hop flavor with a slighlty sweet finish. Not overly carbonated

Butterscotch, toffee, grapefruit and oranges in the aroma. Clear, oily, golden body with a low, large-bubbled, off-white head that diminishes to ring. Butterscotch and toffee dominate also in the flavour with very little hop flavour but fair, bland bitterness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Bottle. Mondial de la Bière 2005. Golden color, bubbles and nice white head. Sugary and hops aroma. Malty with a nice bitterness, verry good IPA. Bière de couleur doré, bulles et un bon collet blanc. Odeur sucré et de houblon. Au goût, elle est malté avec une bonne amertume, très bonne IPA.

Bought this 12oz bottle from Total Wine in Manassas, VA, which seems to be the trend these days. Pours a clear, amber/orange color with a thin lacing head around the glass. Mild hops aroma. Very bland hoppy taste. KInd of watered down. A so-called "light IPA" you could say.

Rich golden in the glass, with a towering white head. Lots of carbonation rising thoughout. Good aromas of green apple and some spicy Fuggles, which are much milder on the tongue than in other beers. Still the palate is intricate and medium in length, despite lacking a finish entirely. The soft bite of the hops is the only assertiveness here.

Now this one I like. Tasted at the montreal beer festival. Pours a deep amber orange, Thick tall off-white head. Aroma is Fuggles hop, that’s it. Palate can only be described as "Granny Smith Apple", I hope that makes sence. Taste is lovley, if a little simple. Fuggle hop, making that almost floral, almost bitter domonant taste. Malt is undetectable except for a slight bubble gum flavour, undertones of plumb. Aftertaste is hoppy, very hoppy, stays with you for mins. All in all the tastes are very VERY well balanced. Cheers

Nice amber body with a thick and lasting off-white head. Pleasant Fuggle hops aroma with herbal and floral notes. Taste is smooth and well balanced, but lacks the complexity I was expecting. Hopefully, it leaves a long hoppy aftertaste.

Thick and tall off white head, warm amber color. Smells green and hoppy, but not quite as floral as other beers and fairly weak. Begins almost sweet, with the malts working in conjunction with the more flowery aspects of the Fuggles. The palate is the reason why Fuggles is so good... Finishes strong and bitter, with a nice dry touch at the end. Pretty good. A nice experiment in hops.
