Appearance: Light copper orange brilliantly clear, good head and long foam stand.
Aroma: Clean citrusy American hops, with honey, malty and biscuity aroma. Orange peel and grapefruit. Little to no fermentation esters.
Flavor: Rich bittersweet character with a resiny almost piney bitterness with lots of supporting caramel malt.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and chewy mouthfeel.
Overall: Big chewy American style IPA with lots of citrus hop aroma and a chewy body. Resinous bitterness matched with a clean dry malt character and some support from crystal malts.

Sep 3, 2008 0.5L bottle, stable lacing head which lasted even after the beer was gone. clear dark gold colour with orange taints.
When poured, a melange of tropical fruit aroma bursts out of the glass, among them i detected pineapple and mango. After a few minutes, some grapefruit and herbs come forward. Strong emphatic bitterness with notes of citrus and a touch of malt in the back. Body is medium to full, but the aftertaste is suprisingly short.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle. Copper, coarse white lacing head. Nicely balanced, caramel malty and piney hoppy aroma. Pitchy flavor, raisins, biscuit maltiness, herbal finish. Slightly syrupy palate. Nice and balanced IPA, nothing extreme, but a lot better than most modern British attempts.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle. Clear deep golden color with a medium stable white head. Aroma of hops, some flowers, citrus, trupical fruits hints and a malty background with some biscuits. Sweetish malty flavor at first with some breadiness. Continues bitter with American hops - some citrus and some piney notes. Medium-bodied, slightly oily and a tad overcarbonated for my taste. Overall very enjoyable and quite refreshing, I could have fun time sessioning this.
