Uhlen (173) - Trondheim, NORWAY - MAY 18, 2013
Dark golden pour, with a huge white head that clings to the glass. Aroma is sweet honey and caramelly, with some citrusy hoppy notes. Taste is pretty barn-like. Sweet, caramelly and hoppy. Rich mouthfeel, for a IPA.

ccex (795) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 17, 2013
12 oz. bottle pours a hazy orange/amber with medium fluffy white head. Aroma is full of citrus and piney hops, with lots of caramel malts for balance. Taste is initially bitter, sweet in the middle, with a long dry finish. The bitterness comes out more as it warms up. Medium body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A decent balanced and drinkable IPA.

troull88 (62) - GREECE - MAY 17, 2013
Fruit aroma, pours amber with medium white head. Tastes light sweet, medium bitter and light sour, generally a very complex taste. Finish is bitter, body is light, texture is oily and carbonation is lively. Overall, a good beer for its style but IPA are not my best anyway.

themightyjag (27) - - MAY 17, 2013
355ml bottle from Brewdog shop. Dark golden amber body, foamy off white head with some lacing. Floral nose with hints of syrup. Flavour was quite light at first but as the beer warmed the grassy, resinous hop flavours came to the fore. Really drinkable.

GSH1976 (124) - Delaware, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Pours a slightly hazy orange with a touch of amber and lots of fluffy off-white head. Aroma is citrus and pine with a hint of caramel malt. Taste is sweet initially but then turns nice and bitter and the bitterness lingers for a while. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Not a bad IPA and better than I expected.

Can. Pours a clear orange with a thick foamy white head. Aroma of pine, bitter hops, caramel malt. Flavor of bitter hops up front, light fruits, pale malt, and a spicy, bitter finish. Tasty, bitter IPA and it comes in a can too! This will be perfect for hot summer days. 7/4/7/4/15 (3.7/5)
