Source: Tasting

clear dark red, wispy beige head, streaks of drippy lace, sweet caramel malt aroma with floral hops, lots of hop flavor with mostly dry dark caramel malts and a spicy bitter character, the earthy and bitter hops take the lead but there is enough of the caramel malt to keep it from getting out of control, a hardy winter warmer

Cloudy dark amber. Earthy-piney aroma with bright peachy notes and dark caramel. On the palate, it has an earthy, slightly woody character, again with bright fruity accents. Lingering bitter finish.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAR 17, 2010
Bottle… Cloudy, dirty orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head that never fully dissipates. Resiny, earthy hop aroma. Medium to full-bodied with modest carbonation. Well balanced flavor – I love a well-balanced, flavorful IPA. Crisp, lightly bitter finish. Thanks go out to growler for providing this surprisingly tasty brew!

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - MAR 9, 2011
Bottle from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours very dark copper with a slight beige head. Aromas of toasty malt and a little floral/citrus hop. Med body. Flavor is rather a mix of citrus and floral over a decent caramel background. Seems a bit more flavorful than many IPAs.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 4, 2011
A Sim rate (on tap at Rattle ’n’ Hum): Bitter hop aroma. Flavour is bitter too & not nearly hoppy enough. I’m surprised it’s even called an IPA. Hmm, not really my cuppa tea.
