May 28, 2009 Pours a translucent copper color with a two-finger beige head. Has floral, semi-seet aromatics and a solid background of hops. The beer possesses a nice biiter base nicely balance with malt flavor; also some pepper and spice mixed in. The palate is slightly unctuous. This is a solid, refreshing beer.

Dec 5, 2008 12 ounce bottle. Pours a mostly translucent copper with a smaller bubbly off white head that left lacing. Aroma of fresh noble hops, spicy, floral and overall just a really nice example of how nice noble hops should come across in an English style IPA. Also getting some toasted English malt character, light caramel and cereal grains. Flavor was mcuh of the same. The noble hops are showcased nicely, good hop flavor, moderate hop bitterness, toasted malt, Cheerios and light caramel.

Oct 6, 2008 In a word..dusty. The beer came across as the epitome of a beer that smells and tastes dusty. Not sure how old the bottle was, but perhaps that’s the culprit. The aroma, as mentioned, was flat out dust/dirt (perhaps that the UK hops?). Lightly sweet with some malt to keep the dust in check. The beer was the color of watered down cola, with a nice off-white/khaki tan head, frothy with some nice bubbles. Flavor of dust, honey, and a touch of metal.
