(Note: The beer was a few days old and had been opened by the time I drank it.) Pretty nice nose, flavor and body. Definitely english in style and one of the better examples I’ve sampled. Would love to have this on cask. DrBayern (1137), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Draft at the brewery. Clear orange with a sturdy off white head and excellent lace. Hoppy nose with lots of citrus and some spice over a bed of caramel Medium body and carbonation, slightly resinous, and quite dry. Good balance between caramel sweetness and the hop bitterness. NIce IPA. agl108 (509), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 9, 2009 On draft at Barley’s Taproom, Asheville. Poured amber with a small off-white head. This beer was intriguing, almost a hybrid of English and American IPAs. Sweet malty base with a west coast style citrus flavor. mattvervack (20), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2009 This is a quality IPA that some of the bigger boys would be proud to produce. This was fresh at the brewery and maybe the better for it. The hoppiness brought back fond memories of England. chandler0201 (351), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2009 Gold pour with tiny white head that went away fast. Honey and citrus in the aroma, flavor of malts and somewhat bitter but not too bitter with hint of carbonation. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
