poured a dark orange with thin layer of head that dissippated fairly quick, hoppy aroma, bittery hop taste is apparent at first but then disappears and develops into more of a sweet-malty character. felt a little bit of the alcohol as it went down. a very balanced beer nonetheless.

Mar 18, 2010 Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Clear amber in colour with a slick of off-white head and slight carbonation. Sweet, peach and apricot fruit aroma with citrus and pine hops and creamy caramel. Flavour of sweet malts, orange marmalade. Lots more pine and citrus hops, leading to a dry finish with accompanying warming alcohol. Excellent.

Mar 18, 2010 355ml Bottle via trade with Lithy. Clear copper amber colour, frothy off white head. Aroma of sweet toasted malts, caramel, spicy and grassy hops, alcohol, light roasted note. Flavour is sweet, sugary, malty, grass and pine, caramel, alcohol, strong lingering hoppy and alcohol bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied, syrupy mouthfeel. A bit too sweet imo. Thanks Justin!

Mar 16, 2010 Bottle.Pours an amber dull color with a white head that coats the edge of the glass.Nose is a resiny/bready aroma with a bit of citrus.Taste is full mouthfeel with thick hops and malt with a nice finish.A bit too thick and unbalanced to be considered with the best but a nice IPA/Double IPA for quaffing...

Mar 14, 2010 Technically a Double IPA, but no doubt one of the best IPA’s around. Fruity hops are prominent, but surprisingly well balanced with malts as well. Excellent beer choice of a slightly higher price range!

Mar 14, 2010 Great freaking beer. Not as amazing in my opinion as some other IPA^2, but damn good nonetheless. Excellent malt presence both on tap and in a bottle. There’s an wonderful creamy sweetness that really balances well the hops. Speaking of hops, that’s where I’m kind of disappointed in this beer. It’s not that they get it wrong, but was hoping for some more piney, resinous, stick to your palate hops. Oh well, that’s a stupid criticism anyways. This beer is damn good.

Mar 13, 2010 Excellent nose of bubblegum and citrus. Pours medium copper. Flavour is fresh, fruity, bitter and citric with some banana, some cloves, and some pleasing alcohol. A great IPA.

Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), moyennement résineux et à la fois légèrement floral et aux notes herbeuses, malté de caramel sucré aux notes de toffee et fruité (agrumes, notes d’abricots et de raisins) avec des notes d’alcool doux. Ronde-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture à la fois moyennement crémeuse et légèrement huileuse. Goût fruité (agrumes sucrées et pamplemousse, faibles notes de raisins et d’abricots, faibles traces de dates) avec un goût assez amer de houbon citrique (pamplemousse) et légèrement floral (qui dure toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté d’un mélange de caramel sucré et de caramel toffee léger puis une finale où ressort une amertume légèrement herbeuse de houblon (feuilles de thé et herbes fraîches) ainsi qu’une légère chaleur d’alcool. Post-goût long un peu sec, amer de houblon citrique, moyennement herbeux et aux notes florales avec un léger goût d’alcool et de fruits (zest d’agrumes).
