Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Eathy, with some slight floral hops. Dry, bitter, and more malty than expected, but with some nice juicy citric hops in the finish. A nice IPA, but probably a little less hoppy than i was expecting. Still, this was good.

Jul 30, 2008 Bottle from Systembolaget. Pale golden, low lacing head. Nice floral hop nose.
Medium to light body. A bit cookie malt, focus on the big hops: Pine, grass, seaweed, tropical fruits. Dry puckering hop finish, earthy aftertaste. Nice.

Nov 20, 2008 Did not plan to have another brew tonight, but with the site back open to me I feel obliged. LIght hazed golden color with a island looking lid with some islands on the rim and some bigger bubbles adrift in the middle. Real English aroma with Golden Promise or Marris Otter coming to mind. Some aged hops as well, with hopsack scent prevalent. Some fruit, floral and yeasty scents are also quite noticeable. Somewhat dull feel in that there is not much life, acts more like a cask ale (not sure if good or bad). Mild honey and big english malt flavors. Just read the bottle and not really understanding the post modern classic inference. Middle has a rather biting hops bitterness with a weed/herbal component that carries well into the linger. Finish is dry and only a slight bit of fruitiness. Seems quite traditional to me.

Jul 3, 2007 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.

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.

Nov 22, 2007 Bottle. Still golden beer with a light head. The aroma is very well hopped and the flavour is very well hopped and very bitter at the finish. Overall a reasonable beer.

Nov 19, 2007 Updated: Feb 21, 2009London Shindig, August 2007 Very hoppy, like an aggressive American IPA. Hot, sweet and burning hops. Too much. Too extreme. Hard to take. Not my thing. [1.0]
Feb, 2009 I’ve been consuming a lot of this stuff recently thanks to an offer at Tesco of £1 a bottle. And I’ve really been enjoying it. I have found it much softer than the beer I encountered at Chriso’s place in 2007. The hops are not aggressive at all - the dominance here is the malt, and this doesn’t taste like the same beer at all. The hops come over as salty and flowery rather than burning. There’s a lingering awareness in the finish, but quite smooth. This is a very drinkable and pleasant beer. Different time, different place, I think I’ve had over a dozen of these recently, and have enjoyed them all. [3.5]
