3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2011 33 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours hazy pale yellow with lacing white. Light spiced and hops fruity aroma. Flavour is hoppy and fruity. Smooth flavour and mouthfeel. Gains fruit and bitterness into the finish. Simple yet nicely flavoured and light.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled (thanks magic_dave6!). Yellow colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grassy hops. Flavour is grass, some peas, quite dry with some slight hints of malts. Alcohol seems to balance the hoppy dryness up a bit, but not disturbingly. Sadly no mindblower in my opinion.
3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Clear golden, average head. Aroma of orange, hay and lychee. Sweet, medium to full bodied, perfumy and yeasty. Lightly fruity with buttery malt profile, but the tough American style hop levels makes it a completely hop driven beer. Lingering very bitter finish.

Beautiful bright amber color, with creamy head. Very nice hop aroma, citrusy, with bergamot, grass. The body is strong, with a round mouthfeel; strong flavor of toffee; strong bitterness, with piney and citrusy hops, very resiny, but at the same time smooth as well. One of the nicest IPA experiences from the shelf.
2010-04-21, bottle, batch 001, bb June 2009, can this be 2 years old? 7-5-7-4-16=39
Hazy golden color; medium sized creamy head; nice lace. The aroma is not too strong; there are hops, chamomile, magnesia, light citrus fruits, grass, and something that reminds me the kitchen of a Chinese friend. It’s quite smooth and rounder to drink, the carbonation is soft; the toffee flavor and malt is dry, with a strong bitterness, still; most of the aromatic components are gone, there are still resins, citrus fruits and light chamomile. Still pleasant.

Hazy golden color, with medium rocky head. It has a strong grassy and earthy hop aroma, some manure, light fruity hops, light aroma of breadcrumbs too. Good mouthfeel, good malt flavor, light residual sweetness; earthy hops, giving a strong bitterness and some resins too. Quite different from the bottle, smoother, rounder, maltier, less green. On tap it’s a great beer!
2008-04-12, bottle, 8-3-8-5-16=40
Blond color, with a grey-greenish hue like a white wine. It has a very nice aroma: delicate hop, fruity (white grapes), Saaz perfume, and light crispy malt. It has a very good crispy malt flavor, dry, with a hint of cookies, and a very strong bitterness, quality hopping. Excellent.
