3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
28th May 2012
CP&K. Very hazy deep amber beer. Tidy cream coloured head. Palate is soft but with prickly carbonation. Minerals. Creamy and even malt base. Marmalade orange hops, a little sweet. Trace of tropical fruits with mango and peach syrup. A little alcohol spice in the semi soft dry finish. Not bad but some more hops would have been good.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft @ Novare Res. Dirty amber color with full head, good retention in the Tulip. Nose is a tantalizing mix of fresh grapefruit, malt and tropical fruit. Taste is a winner! Juicy, wet hops. Malts give it a sweeter touch and make it balanced. Pine needles and the resin show up as it warmed. ABV is hidden quite well. Mild lingering bitterness. Highly drinkable. I would recommend. Nice.

I want more bitterness in my dipa. Probably didn’t survive the journey...

Tap @ Beer Temple. Color is amber, clear. A bit rocky, off white head, good lace. Aroma’s of resin, fruit/citrus, malty sweetness, a bit herbal and acidic even. Flavor is malty sweet & bitter. Pretty full bodied. Finishes bitter and a bit, erm, gebrand. Good.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Draught @ Beer Temple. Unclear dark orange color, small white head that leaves good lacing. Smell hops and a lot of pine, medium fruity. Taste is very pleasant: very hoppy, lots of pine, lots of bitter. Medium carbo and body, so not hard to drink even though it’s got 10%ABV. Very nice!
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub. Big pine and tropical fruit juice aroma. Flavors are complex, but a little dogged, aged, and light on the fresh juicy hop flavors. Very clean sugars. Fine, not notable.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
(Draft @ Three Tides) Served in a shaker. Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Big citrusy, hoppy aroma. Palate is fairly smooth, medium-beefy, a little prickly. Nicely-defined rings of lacing, esp. for the style. Beautiful big fresh sweet and hoppy citrus and pine flavor. Beautiful fresh hoppiness just oozing out everywhere with none of the abrasiveness or resin common with the style. Nice caramel base underneath. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Well done.
