JamesEddy (1), Calgary, Alberta, Canada does not count Jul 3, 2008 Quite unusual for a British IPA, very much like an American IPA with old world hops. Quite quaffable. scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Jul 3, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Hazed gold, fizzy white head. Soft floral and pine aromas ride a light sweet undertone. Light flowery pine flavors up front fade to a touch of sweet citrus. Light bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. As an IPA freak, this was more basic and standard than what I had hoped for... gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is hop, citrus, grapefruit. Flavour is hop, grapefruit, citrus, pine, malt. Nice beer. oberabcbbsok (686), Hoboken, Belgium Jun 30, 2008 A good hoppy beer, medium bodied and a good bitterness. I love IPA beers. Had it on Bottle in Antwerp BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 30, 2008 1 pint, 6.4 fl oz bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours hazy light gold with an average, rocky, white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, meal, cereal, straw), heavy hops (grass, pine, citrus, flowers), average yeast (sweat, earth) with notes of pear, dust, and apple. Light bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. The taste is a somewhat sweaty, raw hop leaf (not that I know) infused in a rather malty base beer. CapnCascade (116), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 29, 2008 Pours slightly hazy golden, decent white head with reasonable retention. Very subtle aroma of citrus and caramel. Flavor is dry/spicy hops with a very bitter, spicy finish. Very nice warm mouthfeel with good carbo throughout. In the end quite a hard-hitting IPA, very pleasant. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA Jun 28, 2008 Batch 001. Ehh, small head, light lacing. very pale yellow, much more so than I expected. Aroma, hops and citrus. Flavor same. Long finish of bitters. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jun 27, 2008 This bottle brew nmarked BBF 01/01/09 batch 001 from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foam with a frothy top. The body was hazy yellow in color and had soft carbonation. The aroma was malty and mildly hopped. The mouth feel was unnoted. The flavor was off the mark for an IPA with a medium hop slightly acidic note.
