SavageElvis (131), Savage, Minnesota, USA Nov 21, 2007 I had the 6.1% version of this. It poured out a very cloudy burnt orange and a very sweet floral at first pour. Nice medium cream colored head. Carmel and vanilla are the most evident flavors wit ha bitter finish. I will concur with the notion of pain killer mentioned by the others. A good American Pale Ale but there are a many better produced in the US at a much better price.
BeerBlockaid (476), West Palm Biatch, Florida, USA Nov 30, 2008 wait...is this thing an IPA or an APA??? That would certainly be important in my description. I will go with the bottle, as it states it’s an IPA twice. Twice, like Van Persie having already scored twice against Chelsea today. More please, thank you! The Dutchman is truly flying. The brew has a promising colour and head. But right away, I’ve no nose to really tell on. A little bit of candied hints maybe, but this thing is about as fragrant as glass. Taste is pretty flat, though thoroughly carbonated. Refreshing somewhat, with citrus hints. No hops.....not a hint of hardly any. Perhaps this is why they designate it here as an APA. A little bitter, but for the wrong reasons. More of a normal brew to me. A little malty but I am really disappointed. terrybail (185), , Ontario, Canada Nov 27, 2008 500ml bottle from the SAQ as part of a trade for a server cabinet :)
The aroma was slightly sweet and hoppy and citrusy
Pours a nice light copper amber color nice 2 finger whit head no lacing
The taste is crisp and slightly creamy with a nice hop taste nicely carbonated
Very refreshing
BelgianBeerGal (1035), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 26, 2008 Draught at the Flying Saucer Fort Worth. Really expected more from this beer. It just seemed way off for an APA. Very creamy mouthfeel with malt covering up all but just a hint of hops. Good looking beer but odd for the style. dm9831 (706), Monee, USA Nov 17, 2008 caramel colored, respectable off-white head, some lacing. aroma of minor citrus hops, musty malt. flavor had heavy band-aid notes, strong enough for me to look for a ’born-on’ date. medium bodied, dry finish. this is a favorite style of mine, so it disappoints me to give it such a low rating. i was highly disppointed with this (alleged) apa. BeerGestapo (399), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 27, 2008 Brewed in Scotland !!! (KSBF) Pours a lite golden color with a foamy white head. The aroma is of citrus with grassy notes. The taste is much of the same with a slightly dry finish. average !!
