Nov 23, 2007 Single from Total Wine. Nice IPA hop aroma enveloped in a malt aroma. Good citric and earthy hop IPA flavor, and a nice finishing bitterness. Definitely in the English character, and a pretty respectable brew with 6.8% abv. Quite a bit different from the multitude of American West Coast IPA’s. Drinkable and enjoyable. Well above average, but a long way from world class.

Nov 20, 2007 Pours a deep gold in the glass with a thin white head. Aroma is grassy and a bit soapy. The flavor is much of the same. Overall I’m not very impressed, but I also had high expectations after liking the brooklyn lager so much

Nov 19, 2007 Sampled as part of BJCP training session as the representative English IPA. Pours a light amber with a decent head. Aroma of biscuit and caramel malts with a corresponding hop accent of earth and spice malts. Flavor matches. Nice.

Nov 18, 2007 Updated: Dec 21, 2008Bottled in a very nice pub in Baden, Switzerland. It pours an amber beer with a small head. The nose is very rich and wonderfully fruity. Hints of quinces in both aroma and taste. Fruity, hoppy with hints of eucalyptus. The bitterness is rather pronounced. I was quite impressed by this IPA. Rerate: Closer to an english IPA than a american one in my opinion. Less impressed than at the first sampling.

Nov 15, 2007 Pours dark amber with small foamy head. Aroma is of floral, woody hops and sweet, toasty malt. Flavor is very malty with earthy, woody, flowery hops. Smooth palate. Not an outstanding IPA but well balanced for an English Pale Ale.

Nov 13, 2007 Bottle sample. Clear amber with a white head. Floral hoppy aroma with some fruitiness. Flavor of some sweet malt, bitter hops, and a bit of citrus in the finish. Medium body. OK.

Nov 2, 2007 one of the better english style IPAs i have run across. the reason being the hops were turned up and the malt did not dominant like some EIPAs do. anyway great citrus maybe pine like hop finish, with a nice balanced malt flavor. great feel in the mouth, not too watery proves for easy drinking.

Oct 31, 2007 $$$$$$$$$ bottle at Beer Bistro. Very good dazzling hops that don’t bowl you over with resiny intensity or citrus-pith bitterness. Tasty. Actually smells more hoppy than it tastes. We need this at the LCBO.
