| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 4, 2008 Cask at the Rake, London. I’ve had this before in a bottle, and I’m sure it was better from the cask. The powerful tropical fruit flavours give way to to a very nice long bitter finish. It may not be as good as the much mourned Stone California Double IPA, but it’s the next best thing from a British brewery. Cornfield (4925), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Not a bad brew, but it seems more like an aggresive APA to me. It pours a clear golden body with a creamy white head and slippery lacing. The aroma is of tropical fruit with a floral undertone. The flavor has sweet grainy malts, pineapple and other fruit, countered by a growing hoppy bitterness, mainly floral and grassy in nature with a touch of citric zest. Nice finish, bitter and dry. Seems more like a sessionable pale ale overall, but pretty decent.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Batch 001. ABV 6%. Cloudy light straw with large rocky head. Aroma of light caramel malts with grasssy and floral hops. Well bittered with grassy and floral hop flavor and supporting pale malt sweetness. Very floral hop flavor and bitter as all get out. Finish is moderatly dry and bitterness lingers.
Hop bitterness is over the top and a bit out of balance, just as the label eludes. Bov (5425), Bienne, Switzerland
