Bottle. Hued bronze beer with a strong head. The aroma is very well hopped and floral, and the flavour is also extremely well hopped with a yeasty bitter finish. Overall a very good IPA.

Bomber thanks to SuzyGreenberg. Pours a nearly clear gold with a 2 finger, soapy eggshell head that has good retention and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, toast, citrus hops and lightly fruity yeast. Flavor is rich caramel, light vanilla, citrus, tree fruit, light mineral notes, hints of pine and guava. Palate is light to medium bodied with a creamy, though oddly a bit chalky feel and light to moderate carbonation.

65 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info on bottle
Very small and disappearing head. Rather refreshing, fruity and a bit sweet aroma with exotic fruits, especially mango and banana. A bit sticky palate. Flavour is fruity with mango and hops. A bit too sweet. Rather typical american IPA, but balanced and good.

650 ml bottle.
Pours a hazy orange red colour with a white foamy head. Aroma of fresh citrusy hops, mango and some caramel. Flavour of caramel malts, fresh citrusy hops, exotic fruits and hay. Medium bodied and a mouth-drying finish of hops and some weak fruity notes. Lacks fruitiness, but other than that quite good.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 SpringsLicker (2486) - Tennessee, USA - OCT 3, 2011
The pour produces a hazy dark yellow body that throws up a tall sticky white head that falls quickly, leaving sticky streaks all down the sides of the glass.
Aroma resembles a fruit stand full of fresh cold citrus fruits.
The flavor is well balanced, a touch on the bitter side. Not overpowering on the hops, but hoppier than a pale ale. Soft finish, easy drinking.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - OCT 3, 2011
Im Geruch aromatisch (Ananas und Grapefruit). Fruchtiger Start, der an Ananas erinnert. Mitte moderat bitterfruchtig, süffig. Im Abgang etwas stärker bittertrocken und fruchtig. Wirkt eher dünn, könnte kräftiger ausfallen.
