Jul 8, 2008 On tap at Bull McCabe’s in Durham. More malty (those British biscuity malts) than most IPAs and definitely different from the hop bombs that are American IPAs. Mild citrus, hops blended with the English malts. Solid, and much better from draught.

Jul 5, 2008 Amber color with a white head leaving good lacing, some yeast chunks floating. Floral, little caramel background, medicinal. Cardboard and caramel with a weird hop twang and a sour aftertaste. Average carbonation and light bodied. I would probably try this again because I think I got a bad bottle, but this one was not very good.

Jul 1, 2008 Pours a medium amber with a creamy white head and good lacing. Floral hops are evident in the aroma at first, but not as much after the first sip. First several sips had a fairly strong mettalic aftertaste. Beyond that, taste was lightly bitter, with lively carbonation. The finish is a bit weak for an IPA - it’s missing that bite you expect from the bitterness of the hops.

Jun 27, 2008 draught: dark gold colour. Aroma of orange and hops. It is smooth mild flavor with a bit of hops, perhaps some spice to it and tiny bit of citrus. Will have again.

Jun 21, 2008 Bottle from BevMo. Light orange/amber in color. Slightly sweet hoppy aroma. Highly hopped English IPA. Some breadiness. Has a somewhat earthy quality. This is kind of like an impy ESB. Pretty enjoyable.

Jun 15, 2008 Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur dorée orange et très légèrement voilée. Nez fruité (agrumes, traces de pommes et de mangues), de houblon floral, terreux et légèrement herbeux, malté de pain, de grains de céréales et avec des notes de biscuits au miel ainsi que de faibles notes boisées. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Moyen goût fruité (agrumes, notes de pommes, traces de mangues) accompagné de notes boisées (bois humide) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de pain, de grains de céréales, moyen de biscuits au miel et avec des notes de caramel butterscotch. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume assez asséchante de houblon floral, herbeux (herbes mouillées, notes de thé) et terreux ainsi qu’avec de faibles notes citriques (pamplemousse) et ce, jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen et assez sec, moyen-amer de houblon floral, herbeux et légèrement terreux avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes, traces de pelures de pommes).

Jun 15, 2008 On tap at the Olde Ship, Santa Ana Ca. Pours golden amber with almost no head. Aroma of sweet citrus with a hint of hops and spices. Flavor beings mild and smooth and finishes with sweet and bitter spice. More like an ESB than an American (San Diego, Ca) IPA. I know there is hops, but it is subtle compared to an American IPA. Super clear appearance.
