3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This deep gold beer contains slow-rising bubbles that languidly make their way to swirls of head. Rising from the glass come peach and nectarine fruitiness with an underlying hoppiness. Zingy and tantalising in the mouth its intense fruitiness excites the palate. It comes with a great taut bitterness that keeps you fresh and satisfied.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Hazy golden pour with a small white head. Hoopy aroma. Taste of citrus, hops, pine. Similar to a UK version of a US IPA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy golden orange with a generous bright white head, very good lacing and solid retention. Pine hops aromas are strong, with some citrus and a slight biscuit-like malt in the background. Flavors are more complex, with plenty of resinous pine, citrus, and earthiness from the hops balanced by the biscuits from the malts as well as a hint of nuttiness. Soft creamy mouthfeel, minimal carbonation and a finish that is perfectly balanced.

Pours a slightly lazy golden color. Thin white head with decent retention and lacing. Lots of piney hop aroma. Flavor is passion fruit, pine and earthy hops. Medium mouthfeel and slightly bitter finish. Not anything to write home about, but a nice session IPA.

12 oz. bottle. pours a thinnish head, over clear honey colored (SRM 15) body.....nose of pine, bit of citrus....tastes initially sweet malts then mild hop bitterness, pine and citrus.....mouth feel is light to medium, carbonation average. Although obviously an Ale, it is difficult for me to say whether this is a heavy Pale Ale or a light IPA. there are many better out there.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden orange with plenty of suspended vagabonds to make it pretty hazy. Aroma of citrus, caramel and mild pine. Taste of citrus hops and lemon with some caramel backing it up. Somewhat lively mouth feel with moderate bitterness that comes across a bit bland. Gets a little better as it warms but overall pretty run-of-the-mill.
