Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

Bottled. A golden beer - quite light for an IPA - with a white head. The aroma sweet and very hoppy giving it notes of grass and citrus. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy with notes of alfa acids, that bites the tongue and the throat, the finish is dry bitter and grassy.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Slightly hazy pale golden with a rough, off-white head. Lightly citrusy hoppy nose. Medium body with lightly sweet pale malts, fruit accents and a fairly dry and hoppy finish. 250308

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.

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.

Bottle @ Chris_o shindig 2007. Clear light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy, flowers, perfume. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle, 6%. The aroma has a rough hoppiness, almost lagery. Caramelly and hoppy flavour. There is a good citric hop flavour, though it gets a little acidic.

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.

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white ehad. Fruity aroma of hops, grass and grape fruits. Sweet and fruity flavour of grass, hops and grape fruits. Dy hoppy finish.
