sunevdj (1482), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Apr 8, 2008 Pours a clear light brown with an average off-white head and lacings. Malty caramel aromas with a hint of toffee in the backbone. Heavy hops aromas of Pine and flowers. Hints of plum too. Medium bodied. Bit above medium carbonation. Longish bitter finish with a hint of caramel. Very nice hopsprofile. bozoNZ (370), Christchurch, New Zealand Jan 24, 2007 24/01/07 Pint at Twisted Hop. Nice amber with good head. Lower carbonation that hits it right. Big floral fruits, nice hop balance grows stronger towards the end. Nice way to start the night. RichardGretton (2682), Leicestershire, England Apr 6, 2008 Bottle in Christchurch, New Zealand. Vibrant amber coloured beer with a very well hopped aroma and a nicely bitter and well hopped flavour. Overall a good IPA - well hopped indeed. Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 11, 2006 Foud this one in ireland as well and brought them back with me. For some reason, I kinda liked the pale ale better, different hops maybe. Pours a medium to deep amber and a frothy sticky white head. Sweet crystal malts, balanced with a lot of citrus and light pine hops, but also has some mango/orange hop character. Flavor is moderate in the bittering hops, some light citrus and soem basic caramel flavor. Smooth palate and great aftertaste. Nice low ABV IPA. rgrep (148), Blenheim, New Zealand Mar 10, 2005 Pours amber with an off-white, foamy and rocky head. The aroma is malty with citrus and floral hop notes, but with a name like "Hophead" I expected it to be bolder. Body is soft with a tasty citrus hop presence.
