Bottled. Aroma has pine and grapefruity hops. Very straight forward. Hazy, amber coloured with a lasting, off-white head. Taste is a little sweet, moderate bitter. Bit astringent. It has piney/grapefruithops and some caramel malt. Medium bodied. Okay.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle shared by Beer Hawk. Pours hazy medium dark amber with an off white head. Nice leafy wet hop aroma. Pale toffee and caramel malt backbone standing behind a unique herbally hoppiness and subtle honey notes. Lingering semi grassy bitterness on the finish. Interesting single hop beer.

Nicely done, pours thick copper/orange, appears hazy, unfiltered, nice head and wonderful hoppy aroma. VEry well balanced, sweet yet with enough hop bite to make even this hophead smile. Good session brew.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle, 65cl - Orange colored hazy beer with a heavy off white head. Aroma is rather sweet with hints of citrus fruits and flowery cascade. Flavor is also rather sweet and malty with a good balanced hoppiness to it. A very fresh IPA, highly drinkable. Good for IPA beginners!

does not count  Jul 9, 2008 Pretty good though not spectacular. Drank it during the same session as The Maharaja so it may have just been comparatively disappointing.

Jul 9, 2008 Bomber. Pours a copper color with a thick off-white head. Very nice sticky lacing. Aroma is malty with a citrus hop scent. Caramel malts are strong in the flavor with some cereal along with citrus hops, with mild to moderate bitterness. Pretty good beer but something was a little off preventing it from being any better. The hops don’t finish off strong, the malts are a little heavy (for an IPA) for my liking and there’s a mild cereal/grainy thing going on that I wasn’t too fond of. Overall not amazing but a good session IPA. I do think I paid too much for it though.
