4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, but not a bad one. Quite nice at that. Soft and yes flowery in a nice crisp yet sort of soft way. Bouncey, bouncey. Pine and lemon and chewing the floorboards of a church. American? Damn nice.

500ml Bottle. A very decent beer, nice hoppiness, citrus, slight pine needle aroma. Earthy, woody flavours as well as gentle hoppy bitterness.

Amber with an off white rocky head that hangs around for a while. Aromas are sweet pine with citrus notes that get right up your nasal passage. Flavours are sweet and soft with good citrus fruit zestiness and some woodiness. Some floral aspects, too, followed by lots of addictive hops. Dry, yet gentle on the finish. A lemony treat.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2005 WOW! this is the proper stuff. 500ml bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. Aroma is fruity, citric and maybe a little sweetness. Flavour is wonderfully hoppy, yet not really bitter, citrus fruit and some hints of tobacco. In the background is some sweet malt with hints of biscuit. Soft til the end! For a non BC, lowish ABV beer this is damn good. A fresh cask of this would be immense!! The next CVBGE?

Bottle. Old gold coloured with foamy white head. Aroma is very hoppy and citrusy. Very nice complex taste, largely down to the Amarillo hops. Citrus and honey, flowery and hoppy. Nice bitter finish. Very nice IPA.

Deep golden honey like hie with a creamy white head. Fantastically hopped citrussy nose. Complex array of tastes. Citrus and melon with an earthy long bitter hoppy after taste. A decent IPA.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2007 Oct, 2004 Bottle from Asda. These Amarillo hops are the latest craze, and from this example it is clear why. This is a soft, creamy and delicately flavoursome ale. The Amarillo hops are flowery and buttery and not at all aggressive, providing a fulfilling and satisfying and thirst-quenching ale. Yummy! [3.9]
Feb, 2005: Bottle from Asda. Wow! This is stunning. Delicious. Carbonation may be a little harsh for my taste, but those hops are awesome. The sweet malt provides just the right base. Mmm. Nice one! [4.4]
Feb, 2007 Bottle. Compared with Bluebird, Chimera IPA & Wild Hare. Biscuit malts and a gorgeous vanilla, violets and citric hop flavour. Carbonation a bit sharp, but this is such a great beer that even filtered and force-carbonated it tastes great; is fresh this would be wonderful. There are interesting, new and unique flavours to be found here. This is such a playful beer. Great fun. Tasty, well made and fascinating. [4.5]
