Bottle at home with Tom ... crisp orange ... sharp hop ... fruity sharp hop quite juicy... decent depth but just not standing out ... little drying... some grapefruit ...

A Mes rate: 75cl Bottle at Chris O’s Fukito tasting.
Golden with a slight brown hue and a light white head. Hoppy grapefruity stuff with some nice bitterness and floral notes. Straight down the line but decent enough.

Bottle at cgarvieuk’s shack of party’s. Aroma is grassy alcohol, perfumy. Taste is pale malts peppery spicey alcohol and perfumy floral notes. Intresting but a bit bland.

Bottle. Thanks Fukito. Nice IPA, some light malty swetness to start, with some lightly earthy, lightly aromatic hops. Some light citrus and bready malt notes. Soft and round, quite nice.

Bottle at Chris_o’s house. American style pale sweet malt - quite clean and tasty. A healthy if slightly medicinal dose of English and American hops - Goldings/Fuggles and Cascade - with a hint of bubblegum. Tasty and not aggressive, is slightly lacking in interest.

Bottle shared by Sprinkle @ DLD ’08. Pours a clear light amber color with a small white head. The aroma has some light floral hops, pale malts, caramel sweetness, and grass. The flavor opens with lemongrass, pale malts, grains, mild sweetness. There is some herbal bitterness to the finish. A change of pace from some of the bigger beers sampled throughout the day. Not bad.

DLD ’08: Shared by Sprinkle: Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma, herbal and grassy notes, some pale malts, caramel. Flavor, grassy hops, lemon, grainy notes, pale malts, I think the sun was starting to get to it, it skunked as it sat out on the table. Not bad though.
