May 21, 2006 Bottle 12oz. Nice golden pour with lite foamy head that settles quick. The hops hit the nose right off the bat. Tastses of the sweet cali hops with the slight fuityness, Over all the this a worthy IPA contender.

May 19, 2006 Golden pour with mild sediment. Nose comes off first as sulfuric the opens up into a hoppy boquet. Grassy hops and some fruity fillings inbetween like grapefruit and some sweeter fruits like oranges and berries. Nicely blended and above what I expected. Later on it gets a bit redundant and equals out to average.

May 18, 2006 (Bottled, 6.5% ABV) Clear golden with a medium, foamy head. Aromatic, sweetish, grainy-malty aroma with strawberries. Quite malty, aromatic-hoppy flavor with a dry, bitter finish. Medium to full-bodied, bitter palate with balanced carbonation. A quite balanced, dry and hoppy IPA.

May 2, 2006 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Colour is amber, slightly hazy with little head. Fruity, very hoppy nose with hints of red grapefruit, oranges and some spruce needles. Somewhat closed. Taste is fruity with red grapefruit, blood oranges, pine needles and resin. Very hoppy, starts a bit sweet, but the finish is long, dry and bitter. Not very comlpex, but with a lovely hop character.

Apr 29, 2006 Poured golden with a sticky white head. Bready aroma with floral hops, citrus, graitfruit and some pine. Pine shows up in the taste along with an intense sweetness. Overly sweet in my opinion but good. Average palate with just bitter hops and not much else. I was happy with this but not thrilled.

Apr 25, 2006 Pours a golden color with a cloudy white head which eventuall produces lacing. The aroma is a mix of bready malt and an average strength hop. Not much ballance in this one, as there is more malt aroma than hop. The flavors are more ballanced than the aroma. A sticky and sharp citrus and pine hop, noticable grapefruit. Malts are toasty and bready and sit behind the hops so there isn’t perfect ballance, but that isn’t expected and the combo that does exist is done pretty nicely. Malt sweetness that is there quickly dissapears as the fairly strong grapefruits kick in.

Apr 14, 2006 Draught at Freakin’ Frog, Las Vegas
Cloudy amber color, nice lace. The aroma is lightly fruity. The flavor has some malt, but it’s not very full, and the hoppiness/bitterness is average.
