Oct 5, 2008 From a bottle at KSBF ’08. Light gold pour capped by a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus, grass, and caramel. Grassy flavor with some citrus and fruity esters. Not bad.

Sep 30, 2008 Draught@SBWF2008 (thanks to Jonas for pointing this one out!). Golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is hops, fruits, wood and nectar. Flavour is much the same in a very nice balance. Sweet caramel and nectar in flavour. A bit of alcohol too, as well as some rather sweet fruity notes. Pleasant!

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a near clear straw color with decent foam white head. Aroma is slightly floral with a hop sweetness. Flavor is weak, but hides the alcohol. A little bit of buttery slickness on the tongue. Not all that impressed.

Sep 24, 2008 Pint bottle. I really liked this! Looks and smells liike a good IPA should, with some resin hop aroma. Malt has a shortbread character, with some caramel sweetness. The finish is full of resin and some piney hops bitterness. I liked the malt-hops balance with this one, as well as the flavor complexity. Slightly astringent mouthfeel. Can’t wait to have another.

Sep 22, 2008 This is a great IPA. It’s copper-amber with a big, off-white heard slowly shrinking to leave a small permanent top and some lacing. The aroma is citrus (pineapple with some grapefruit, lemon), caramel, toasted bread, hay, grapes, fruit. The tatset is earthy leaves, raisins and grapes, citrus (mostly lemon and grapefruit), caramel, bread cruast, some hay, and a light wine quality. It is nicely sweet with a hoppy bitterness that just dominates and it has a lot of good, full flavour that holds up very well to food. It’s highly drinkable.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber red with a big, orange white head, that is quick to disappear. The head holds some floral aromas, grass, peach, grapefruit in the hops. The taste is sweet, slightly fruity, bready with caramel, grapefruit and a hint of earl grey tea.

Sep 18, 2008 Clear coppery gold with frothy white head, scattered lacing. Floral, dry aroma. Citrus blossom, lots of citrus in the nose against a grainy background. Refreshing, spritzy aroma. Soft, very gentle carbonation. Juicy palate. Unique flavors. Very herbal. Citrus blossom, orange pith and peel. Smooth, interesting, and can really imagine how great it would be as a dry-hopped cask-conditioned version!
