Jul 28, 2009 Bottle. This is a rich red amber colour in the glass. The head is frothy, off-white/cream colour, about an inch and a half tall with some lacing as it subsides. Head retention is solid. Aroma is wonderful: plenty of grapefruit in the hops, some pine needles, avocado, a hint of pipe tobacco. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium thick in body, with a subtle oiliness. There is some caramel in the malt and biscuit, bread with more pine, orange, grapefruit, some apple in the flavour. A nice long bitter finish.

Jul 18, 2009 Updated: Jul 31, 2009bottle from three Sons. Very malty with nice aroma. Not an IPA in my book but closer to an ESB. Dark copper in color it is a really nice beer.
Now on tap at Mgaoos. Certainly just as good in Draft. A little guerky so a bit unusual.

Jul 10, 2009 Great beer. Aroma is full of hops, hops and hops. Full of pine and citrus. Taste is rather bitter, yet crisp, refreshing and sticky. A lot going on with this one. Finishes with a creamy malt base and strong hop bite. Would enjoy again.
