Apr 20, 2005 Bottled. Clear ruby, brief head. Rich lychee aroma. Light to medium bodied with very clean mouthfeel. Some crystal malt flavour beneath a fluffy blanket of aromatic hops. Bitter, yet aromatic finish. Nice, but one-dimensional.

Sep 6, 2006 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Lovely soft aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Medium body with sweetish caramel notes and lovely aroma hops. Very harmonious and smooth. A nice Secret Santa gift from Immy. 290806

Apr 7, 2005 Brigh amber-red colour. Massive, one-dimensional amarillo aroma has my yawning. Sweet, warming body with hints of caramel and some well-extracted malts. Balanced by soft, woody hops. Slightly acidic finish. Despite the overblown dry-hopping, it’s actually a pretty tasty beer.

Apr 10, 2005 (22oz bottle) Clear copper body with small beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some pineapple, caramel, light tangerine. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some pineapple, light caramel. Definitely plenty of hops, but not especially bitter. Watery medium body, some resin. No idea why 3Fs considers this an Irish red -- tastes like an APA, a very good one at that.

dark amber, whispy head, huge sweet grassy pine citrus hop aroma, lots of piney hop flavor, touch of sweetness but it’s all about the hops, long bitter finish

hazy orange, whispy tan head, sweet piney aroma, big malt backbone loaded with lots of hops, just the right amount of sweetness which continues to grow into a great carmel balance,

rouses to a big tan head and leaves drops of lace, not near the big aroma of prior samples, creamy body, very earthy quality to the hop flavor
