Bottle. Re-tested 090307. Orange color with a beige fluffy head. Aroma: Hops (very american), grape, pine, apricots, bitter oranges, caramel and some alcohol. Flavor: Very hoppy and caramely. Notes of grape, pine, dried fruit, alcohol, some breadiness. Dry and hoppy finish. Nice balance.

full bodied, brownish red color, white head that holds very nicely, overall one of the best ales i’ve had.

browned amber color with a medium creamy head. spicy malt aroma with orange hop and maple notes. medium light, clean body. rich maple malt flavor with a good spicy floral hop flavor, with a bitter orange and apricot flavor. well rounded, rich, but goes down smooth

33 cl bottle, Fargo. Hazy amber colour, intense hop aroma. Spicy hop flavor, sweet and thick, with a long dry finish. Interesting contrast to some of the malty winter selections I’ve been enjoying.

Bottle 0,35l bought at Tesco Kensington Feb 08. Golden brown colored. A large tanned creamy head. Rich sweet fruity aroma. Peaches and apricot dominating. Flavor of sweet fruit. Heavy bitterness kicking in. A decent winter warmer. Nice label as well. KI=6

Bottle at home: Aroma of pine(no shit!), some burnt sugar and spicy hops quite refreshing! beautiful amber colour.. Taste is acidic, different citrusfruits mainly lime and pine. A good bitterness but comes out little to acidic..lightly sour. A good one def not the best

12oz draught with small head and nice lacing. This is a nicely balanced IPA with the usual citrus tones. It was not overly bitter with a grapefruit and caramel flavor. I couldn’t make anything out unique aroma wise. Great taste and easily drinkable.

Got a growler of this at Glenville beverage. Pours a translucent brown, a little head. Smells of hops and tastes like grapefruit juice. It was alright, not my fav though. Reminds me of Stone Ruination in flavor.
