Ibrew2or3 (1633), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jun 11, 2008 Big thanks to fishingnet for scoring me this IIPA. 12oz bottle, labeled Knights Head Pale Ale, pours clear copper with tan head. The aroma has crystal malts mixing with fruit sweetness coming from plums and oranges. It also has a bit of a peppery note. The taste is much the same with mildly roasted malts mingling with citrus orange hops, fruity esters and some pepper. The flavors don’t really come together all that well for me. fishingnet (774), Brandon, Florida, USA May 13, 2008 Bottle. Labled Knights Head Pale Ale. Pours a clear copper with a small white head that leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, alcohol, and citrus. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness and slightly hot alcohol. Not bad. bigrond (852), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 24, 2008 had this under the ’knights head’ label. It went from an IPA to a Pale Ale and it’s retired?? Well, it’s not a very good pale ale so it must have been a horrible IPA. either way - the high percentile racking for this beer is surprising to me. I didn’t care for.it - but I like the alc. content. jason (1476), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 28, 2008 Bottle. Labeled as "Knights Head". Poured a clear copper body with thin head. Aroma is light citrus, malt and mold. Flavor is slightly bitter, light citrus, more on the sweet malt side. Surprise to find this somewhat drinkable. sheatripper (800), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jan 18, 2008 Bottle. "Knights Head Pale Ale." When I saw that label, I figured I was getting some kind of sessionable APA or EPA. OK, so its a 2IPA at 8.2%. Flagrant false advertising, but why complain? Poured clear orange/copper with an off- white frothy head. Candied orange aroma, with floral hops and a touch of butterscotch. Flavor of gummy-bear malts cut with a sharp citrus hop addition, finishing quite piney. Slick oily palate with moderate carbonation. Not sure what to make of this. Can’t say it’s a great 2IPA, but an interesting discovery at the Polish market.
