3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from GBBF 2012. Hazy amber colour with thick lasting beige head. American hop aroma. It’s quite a sweet IPA. Some decent hops around on this beer. Yep, I mean it is an American style IPA. Well made. It’s quite good, but it’s a touch sweet and cloying. Perhaps I don’t like 7% IPAs. Yes for me just a touch too sweet. But rather drinkable at the same time. I’d be happy if I made this though. I think I was too harsh on this, it’s a decent to good IPA and I did like it and it was very drinkable and I will drink it again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. An unclear, golden-orange beer topped by a finger-thick off-white head. Piney, grassy, lightly fruity nose with maltyness in the back. Rather uncomplex, but pleasant anyway. Full-bodied, pleasantly carbonated and semi-dry, with flavors of lightly caramel maltyness in the back, and with piney, lightly grassy hop flavors up front. Pleasant bitterness to support the malts all the way. I’m not impressed by this one either, it’s a nice beer, but I except more from an IPA. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind having a few of this, but I think it will be a bit boring on a long term. 120812

30th October 2011
Bottle in Rome, purchased from Domus Birrae. Light haze on this amber beer, tidy off white head. Fairly good hops (and after the hop wilderness that is Italy in October they are very welcome!). A little Nelson Sauvin maybe with dry bitter orange. Dry and bitter finish with some minerals. Not bad if a bit dry.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy dark golden with a medium white head. Fruity hop aroma with peach and grapefruit, some greener herbal notes (including a less fortunate hint of rotting grass) and some biscuit/bready malt. Initially you feel a little malt sweetness on the tongue, but it’s quickly overtaken by hops. Herbal and fruity hops and lots of bitterness, with underlying biscuit/bready malty notes.
