3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 TAR (2236) - Lafayette, USA - MAY 29, 2002
UPDATED: JUN 18, 2005 Post-Skip version: Overly husky malt flavors, unpronounced/sloppy hop flavors, and overly yeasty aroma and flavors. Not sure where the brightness has gone, as this was once teeming with bright, glorious hop flavors and aromas. This isn’t what it once was, although I’m told the recipe hasn’t changed.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 kryon (265) - SWEDEN - MAY 25, 2012
Pours golden with frizzy medium head.
Aromas are... Wow! Explodingly hoppy aromas of grapefruit, tropical fruits and caramel malts. This is the perfect aroma!
Taste has citrus, breadyness, caramel, some apricot/peachy tones as well.
Palate is really good. Starts out quite hitty with some frizzyness, mover over sweet and end very bitter.
This is a really great IPA!

Bottle 650ml @ home
Pours clear deep golden with a long lasting off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel pine, citrus, orange and grape. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter with a long smooth light malty, bitter and dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Pours a golden orange color with a paper thin head yet remains highly carbonated. Aroma of biting citric hops and a mild malt attempt to balance. Not as powerful as some ipas but easy drinking and very tasty. Mouthfeel is so smooth and keeps you coming back for more!

A top notch IPA. It’s one of my favorites. I have to say this brew gives a great after taste. A must try for any hophead.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2012 En mycket väl balanserad IPA. Smak och doft av humle, tropisk frukt, citrus, örter, en aning vanilj, karamellsötma med en trevlig grapebeska som avslut. Jag gillar den lätta kolsyran med de små bubblorna som smeker insidan av gommen med all arom.

Bottle big thanks to watson1977. Pours clear bright amber with a nice sudsy off white head that slowly settles to a sudsy film and lacing. Aroma is big citrus grapefruit/pine and resinous with a subtle sweetness. Taste is more the same big bitter/resinous piny hops and citrus fruit (grapefruit) and malt which shows light caramel. Palate is dry and sticky. Really well put together IPA. Awesome stuff! I’ll take more of this whenever!

Lots of citrus in aroma. Colour is amber and appearance is hazy. Nice amount of bitterness with just the right amount of body. Good balance between hops and body. Long finish. Fantastic IPA.
