| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Smells like a pair of patent louboutins after a tragic night out! quite skunky, heavy on the vomit, leather and plastic... but not in a bad way. straw yellow in colour, white rim. Very earthy flavour, musk. Extremely dry, strong notes of heavy metals and minerals. Almost painfully dry mouthfeel. gorgeous! pilsnerrogge (1781), Finspång, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2008 Bottled: Pours clear golden with a firm head. Pine, citrus and hops on the nose. Surprisingly thin mouth feel. Flavour is loads of fruity hops. Really long bitterness. kwoeltje (1315), Manchester, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 21, 2008 (large bottle - batch 001) slightly hazy pale gold with white head. Strong grassy hops aroma. Much more flavor than you’d think from the appearance - grassy hops. Dry bitter finish. Nice to see a beer like this coming out of Scotland. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Bottle with a best before date of 01/01/09 and batch 001. Poured a small semi-fizzy white head that mostly diminished, one ring of lacing, hazy, visible carbonation, and a yellow hue. The nose was citrus hops, some pineapple, pine, and some clove. The flavor was sweet, citrus hops, malt, some spice, and lightly bitter. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. Quaffable for the style, but nothing that great that it left me wanting this one again.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 19, 2008 Well, IPA is my favorite style, and this is one of the best ones. The thing I like best about it is that they pour on the hops until any sane person would say it’s way too much... then they double them! Bright golden color with a persistent white head and lots of lacing. Nose is of bread and yeast with strong notes of floral and fruit. Taste is wonderfully complex with notes of bread, grape, banana, citrus, berries, wood, hop, and spice. Finish is in-your-face deliciously bitter over-the-top hop. This is an assertive punk! dkachur (2352), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Bottle from Once Upon a Vine McArthur in Richmond... batch 001 best by 010109. Hazy peach color with a medium frothy head and thick rings of lacing. Citrusy aroma with very bitter piney notes. Hops dominate the taste which is very dry with pear notes. Very bitter. Almost no carbonation. Joakgust (327), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jun 18, 2008 33 cl bottle - A light golden colored beer with a white medium sized head. Aroma is hoppy with hints of grapefruits and oranges. Flavor is slightly sweet with a dominating hoppiness. Not really too impressed. Slightly too dry and unbalanced. Ported (67), Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Dark Yellow, thin white head. Very nice IPA, typical flavours, one of the most bitter IPA’s I’ve had. Can’t wait to try a fresh one!
