Jan 12, 2009 2007 edition. best before02/08/unreadable. sampled 2009-jan-12.
pours a clear, slightly cloudy orange/copper/amber. huge head that soon gets half its original size.
fantastic hoppy citrussy fresh aroma. not too hoppy, some sweetness too.
flavor : moderately hoppy, sweet grapefruit, faint yeast, faint caramel, faint malts. flavor is far from as fresh as the aroma, but very nice anyway. i like the way the sweetness envelopes the fresh hoppiness. vey drinkable.

Jan 5, 2009 2008 edition: bottle->tulip: Pours a huge, frothy, off-white lasting head atop a clearamber body. Malt aroma is toasted caramel and cookie, hops of perfume, and light yeast. Body is medium, texture is thick, and the finish is astringent. Flavor’s duration is average, being lightly acidic and bitter. A winner in my opinion.

Dec 24, 2008 Pours hazy dark amber with a good sized head that leaves plenty of sticky lacing. Aroma is full of flowery hops, with just a hint of citrus, not sweetness or alcohol.
Mouthfeel is full, not fizzy, slightly on the watery side.
Tastes hoppy bitter to start, piney and flwery notes come out. Ends with a piney/grassy/bitter orange peel bitterness. Could have been a littel sweeter, malt base is missing.

Dec 20, 2008 350 ml bottle, 2008 vintage, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.9%. Orange to amber colour, big off-white head with an orangey hue. Lovely aroma of Cascade hops, piney and grapefruity notes. The flavour is distinctly hoppy throughout, lots of pine needles, grapefruity bitterness in the finish, very bitter aftertaste. Hints of caramel malts, but the beer is not too sweet. A nice and very drinkable IPA.
