Aug 3, 2006 Hazy golden with a large white head. Spicy aroma is followed by a sweet, fruity taste, slightly citric. Long bitter finish. Lots of alcohol in the taste. If I understand correctly, ’traditional English-style India Pale Ale’ really means English copy of an American copy of a traditional English-style... etc.’ I really enjoyed it.

Floral and hop aromas. Clear golden coloured strong in alcohol and very hoppy with a fruity orange flavour. Bitter lasting finish.

Dec 15, 2007 Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a muddy pale orange with a small creamy white head. Aroma is hoppy with lots of flowers and a little pine and a little background caramel. Nice dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very bitter and dry. Good bity biscuitness and pilsner/caramel sweetness behind the flowery bitterness. A wonderful, nice, english IPA.

Nov 24, 2007 Bottled, months ago. Shining gold with white lace. Big, resiny, sappy aroma drenched with citrus. Whole hop leafiness with a hint of pinecone. Juicy fibrous pineapple and blood orange. Lip-smacking hop juiciness leading to a quinine-bitter finish. Dangerous refreshment ,and an aromatically fruity IPA.
