Dec 17, 2008 Bottle, for breakfast, during EBF 2008, Copenhagen. Slightly hazy deep amber look and a solid US pale ale taste. My notes say "too goddamn early to write good notes".

Dec 11, 2008 Bottle at Volo. Pours dark amber with a large, long lasting head. There is grapefruit in the aroma, some toffee, grass. This is nicely balanced between the caramel in the malt and piney hops with and a bit of citrus. The hops are not overwhelming, maybe a gesture to European style IPAs.

Nov 30, 2008 Thin head which dissipates quickly. Sweet caramelly aroma with some very nice florals hops, roasted grains and tea leaves. Color is a hazy crimson brown. Wow, big time floral notes in the flavor along with a strong roastyness and bitter tea flavors. Lively in the mouth and a slight alcohol presence. Lingering bitterness and roastyness. An ok IPA but not really to my liking.

Nov 28, 2008 Super light orange with a nice 2 finger head that is made entirely of huge light suds. Instant sticking as the head shrinks.
Orange peel, spice and a musty hop aroma. Has a nice smooth start with a huge hop kick in the middle and flattens out to a nice smooth finish. Smooth front to finish with a nice hop flavor. The hop flavor is very very clean. This is a very easy drinking beer. Nice! Pick this one up
