Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 10, 2008 355 ml bottle. Clear orange/amber body with a big foamy off-white head. Aroma of citrus/grapefruit. Flavor is sweet, fruity and quite bitter. Medium + body and a fine long, bitter finish. Refreshing, quite bitter, not extreme and well balanced. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 5, 2008 Cloudy amber with large beige head. Sweet hoppy aroma with caramel and piny notes. Flavor likewise with a dry bitter finish. RichardGretton (3131), Leicestershire, England Aug 3, 2008 Bottle@Beers of the World Live (NEC), 2008. Amber beer with a well hopped aroma. The flavour is well hopped and very dry. Overall a nice hopped beer. chadje (129), Pasadena, California, USA Jul 31, 2008 Bottle. Smells flowery with a hop scent to it. A nice IPA that pours a nice copper color with a good head. IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Jul 28, 2008 12 oz bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles and Enniskillen; Nose of very citrusy hops with some background caramel; hazy amber-orange with a medium beige head that doesn’t last long; flavor is hop bitterness with some pine and caramel. Finish of course is bitter! hoppybeers4me (15), Ohio, USA Jul 21, 2008 6 pack bottles, found in Anchorage, July 9. This beer is super hoppy with citrus flavors and I found it very enjoyable. My better half only got 1.5 beers out of the entire 6 pack. If I could get this where we live I would buy it regularly. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 20, 2008 Very nice IPA. Aroma was good with an abundance of citrus nhops and a light hint of caramel malt. Pour was a nice deep dark amber/light brown with a 1 finger near tan head. Taste was nice and mouth puckering bitter. Strong caramel malt in the front that leaves quickly. The hops fill the cheeks and throat with bitter citrus and pine. Decent carbonation. Thanks Secret Santa! Aquilo (249), California, USA Jul 19, 2008 Pours a slightly cloudy amber color. It needed a bit of help to develop a head. Has a very fragrant citrus aroma, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is initially dominated by citus and walnut, but this is followed by a strong, bitter, stale hop flavor that almost ruins the beer for me. The bitternes is more than made up for by a pleasant, creamy mouthfeel. Nice and silky. Overall, this is very drinkable and enjoyable.
