3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20500 ml bottle from Marche Jovi, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear copper with a nice light tan froth.
Aroma: Some nice pine and citrusy hops, a good balance of crunchy, sweet malts, lightly fruity, earthy and nutty, a little earthy, floral honey and pepper, quite nice.
Palate: Medium body with soft effervescence, syrupy.
Flav.: Big gobs of boozy, fruity malt, some nice floral, peppery, pine hop notes, dark dried fruits, lots of caramel/toffee, some burnt sugar and light molasses; fairly sweet with decent bitterness and light woody alcohol to finish.
Not exemplary for the style, but still quite enjoyable.

Backlog - May 13, 2010. 500ml bottle shared with blankboy and garthicus. Clear orange-copper with a small frothy off-white head (3+). Orange juice-sweet aroma, floral, with citrus zest and only moderate alcohol, less than 9% to my nose. The taste - wow, tons of floral/citrus bitterness backed nicely by solid orange juice/pineapple malt - sweet, but not too sweet - well-balanced, alcohol doesn’t really figure into it, but it’s sure there. Thick-bodied, borderline acidic mouthfeel, only mildly carbonated but still leaving a long tingly bitter finish - mmmmmm goood!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
An orange amber IPA with a thick moka head. In aroma, lots of biscuitty malts with nice floral vs British hops, not as citrusy as more conventional c-hops, nor as resinous. In mouth, a smooth oily malt with very intense european hoppings, quasi Belgian in character, very well balanced and pleasant. Loads of warming alcohol reamaining in mouth.

Bottle [500ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a deep orange-copper with an average size frothy white head. Decent lacing on the glass. Aroma of resiny hops backed by caramel malt and citrus. Flavour of resiny hops,caramel malt and fruit -- sticky and sweet, a bit too much so. Decent bitter finish and the alcohol’s well hidden. Medium bodied. Not great, just pretty good.

La plus gouteuse des 3 mono hop(bravo-simcoe-amarillo) Double IPA costaude. Amère bien balancée et un peu chaude en alcohol.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a pleasing deep amber with a quickly receding head and nice lacing. Aroma is of sweet caramel with plenty of terpenic character from the Bravo hops. Taste is a rich and resinous hop profile right up front, yielding to a slight bitterness in the finish with minimal alcoholic heat in the background. Very easy drinking for the alcohol content; softly carbonated while still being syrupy on the palate. Nicely done.
