3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A hazy red beer with a light red head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy with some fruityness in the back ground combined with the alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel as well as hops, alfa acids, and alcohol. The end is very lovely bitter.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head, leaving laces. Fresh aroma of citrus and fat hop oils. Full-bodied, sweetish caramel, perfumy hop accents and then a very brutal bitterness. I find this out of balance with a very pushy alcohol. 150907

Bottled, thanks hopsrus!! Dark reddish brown. Strikingly grpefruity hoppy nose hits me hard. Hops doemintes from start to finish, the 10% alcohol is completely overpowered. Full bodied and thick with layer after layer ofsoapy grapefruit, and a tremendously bitter finish.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden-amber coloured. Spicy, minty aroma with hints of toffee. The flavour has a lot of elements - toasty, bitter, woody, hints of caramel. But having a lot of things going on doesn’t matter if they don’t work together. Throwing a bunch of stuff in the kettle is not the path to great beer, which is a shame because some of Fish’s other beers show that they know this.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle, October 2003 vintage) Pours a cloudy amber with a medium-sized long-lasting beige head and good lacing. Aroma of breadiness, toffee, citrus, and alcohol. Flavor of malt, alcohol, oak, hops, and a hint of cocoa with a dry, chaulky, bitter finish.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Minimal beige head atop floatie-filled opaque copper. Aroma is sweet, pine, grapefruit, toffee/maple, light oak. Taste is medium sweet, caramel/toffee at the start, but quickly turns to big pine, some grapefruit, some caramel, oak. Full body that conceals the alcohol well. Not for the faint of heart, but those of hearty constitutions will be richly rewarded.

Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Beautiful pour, lovely deep red, very clea. Fine creamy yellowish head, disappearing slowly, lovely lacing. Wonderful creamy hops, fruitiness, slight oakiness. Wonderful mouthfeel. Flavour is encredibly bitter.Lots of hops, a good caramel sweetness and a wonderul note of the oak still present. Light warming viniousness. Very long bitter, hoppy, oaky finish.
