mcbackus (621), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Apr 23, 2008 bottle pours a dirty caramel colour with littel to no head. aroma is very weak of sweet caramel no hops and an almost dirty smell. flavour is a weak bitter and a sweet malt again a dirty flavour to this not very good at all. Gregis (884), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Mar 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy dirty orange with a creamy, off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly to a thin skin. The nose is pretty nice: a big hit of piny and citric hops paired with a bready/biscuity malt note. It smells like a well-hopped APA with an ESB malt bill. Light to medium-bodied and slick with soft carbonation and a moderately bitter and toasty finish. Like the nose, this one tastes like a hybrid of an ESB and a hoppy APA. Those are two styles that I enjoy, and the result is a uniquely tasty and very drinkable beer. I like it. SuperDave70 (720), Arizona, USA Feb 18, 2008 Pours a nice hazy amber with a medium tan head and hints of lacing. Lots of malt, caramel and citrus in the aroma. Flavor is similar, but lighter. Good hoppy bitter finish. Not a great IPA, but very drinkable. wetherel (977), Carlsbad, California, USA Jan 27, 2008 12oz bonus bottle from cbkshubert. Light carbonation. Amber color. Lots of melanoiding malt aroma. Mild hop bitterness. Easy to drink. Nice. kenb (928), Oregon, USA Dec 28, 2007 12 oz bottle via Hellbilly (thanks!). Pours a hazy copper woth a small head and not much in the aroma derpartment, just a bit of crystal and some muted orange hops. Taste is not bad, pretty much an English style IPA. Some earthy spicy hoppiness, some apricot and orange follows a bit of biscuitiness. Could use more flavoring/aroma hops. Body is light, mouthfeel thin, carbonation is moderate.
