haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - JAN 21, 2012
Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a massive frothy head. Decent tart aroma with some grapefruit and hops. Very tangy flavor. More so than other IPAs. Seems like more grapefruit than actual hops. But good. Complex. Makes you think.

reebtogi (1551) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 15, 2012
650ml bottle pours a golden orangeish color with a huge white head with excellent retention and nice thick lacing. Aroma is bold citrus with some lightly toasted malt. Taste is citrusy hops with a balance of toasty malt sweetness. Medium body and ample carbonation leaves a nice tingle on the palate. A very well done IPA which was thoroughly enjoyed.

malrubius (1307) - Valley Stream, New York, USA - JAN 13, 2012
Copper with lasting head and lace. Mildly overripe orange and bread aroma. Toasted caramel biscuit with medium fruity sweetness fairly assertive lingering bitterness dry finish. An English style IPA. Very clean. More bitter than aromatic or floral Pretty good.

jeff789 (1206) - West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 11, 2012
mostly clear lively golden amber with a big big white sustained head leaving decent lacing.... tea like aroma of orange and stonefruits, citrus hops smell a little aged but the bottle seems brand new, lightly malty... lots of fruits tropical and citrus under a bitter malty lively body, lingers bitter, fruits are only initial, malts are present but not overbearing... medium body, watery finish, dry finish...

watson1977 (941) - The dub c, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 11, 2012
Pours a golden/copper color with a medium creamy white head...lively with very nice lacing. Aroma has notable malt backing...caramel and doughy...to go with tealike hop noted that hint of stone fruits...mango, peach. Flavor is more bitter and earthy...still hints of caramel and stond fruits. Mouthfeel is a bkt thin and watery...finish is earthy, bitter and dry.
