3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
4th August 2009
Very slightly hazy gold beer. Grassy spicy hops but not much hop fruit. Semi dry finish. Refreshing.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a 355ml bottle on 28/4/2012. Pours a deep, only very slightly cloudy, golden with a medium head. Has a nice deep floral, fruity aroma. Has quite a big malt backbone and lots of sweet fruit up front, especially apricot and a touch of cherry. Has a medium, slightly citrussy hop bitterness, which makes it quite refreshing. It’s not fair to compare this to other big American style IPAs, as it’s intended to be British in type. Enjoyable.

(bottle) pours a clear golden-amber colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of bananas and tropical fauna, heavy nutmeg and a hint of white grapes. flavour is bubble-gum and banana, slightly resinous and minty, with a hint of treebark, earth and a medium-bitter finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Good, refreshing and hoppy IPA with strong hop aroma but could have used a more interesting hop combination
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Originally reviewed: 1/23/09. Came out a darker orange-gold with no head at all. Just a thin sheet on top. This left pretty distinctive lacing rings though. Smelled basic for an IPA, with strong citrus tones.
Nice crisp hop bite right at the start, but overall a pretty mellow IPA. No real bitter aftertaste, but full of citrus and slightly earthy flavors. Finishes well, but the 7.0% ABV is more present on this brew than others of the same value. I felt a little more "buzzed" after drinking this one. This is the only factor that hinders drinkability. Otherwise, a great beer. Recommend.

Tallbarr citrus apelsinskal i doften. Läskande bra kropp. God med väldigt fin efterbeska. Kul att engelsk malt och humle också KAN.

Pours a dark golden color with an off-white head. Aroma is malty, with some citrus hops. Taste is caramel sweet with light bitterness reminiscent of the style. Light bodied.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Rich golden ale with a pillowy thick head. Sports ample champange like carbonation. The nose is classic IPA with a heavily hopped upfront citrusy and herbal aroma. The flavour is hop driven with a decent malt backbone to even out the hop acidity also noticed is a hint of sulphur, this beers drinks long and its morish..
