Jan 5, 2009 750ml bottle. Poured a very clear orange color with medium tan head that retained well with lacing that was mediocre. Smell was very citrusy.
Taste was different than an American IPA. Hop taste in this one was a bit different than expected. Lots of fruity/citrusy hops and a tad bit of a caramel malt background and a tad bit sweet. Not too thin, not too thick, good carbonation. No bitter aftertaste at all.

Jan 2, 2009 75cl bottle, cellared for a year. Deep copper, lacey pale head. Flowery hoppy aroma, nice fruitiness (kiwi, passionfruit), little alcohol, maltiness and faint chalk. Flowey hoppy flavor, toffee, kiwi fruitiness and mild pine. Shows some alcohol. Nice round and smooth, sweetish palate with enough balancing bitterness. The younger sister of Chouffe’s IPA tripel, just lovely.

Dec 30, 2008 Opened with a pop. Pours foxy orange, thick persistent head. Great aroma - british hop varieties, very rustic. Holy shit this is delicious. A ton of hops without being overly bitter, unlike anything from the US. Very herbaceous, earthy, seedy - anise? coriander? Bready biscuity pale malt base, very deft body for an IPA. Dusty floury saison-like palate, tangerine zest. An exotic fruity sweetness in the flavor. One of the coolest and most unique IPAs I’ve ever tried. A little expensive but worth it.

Dec 21, 2008 Light amber with a thick yet vanishing head. Aroma is sweet caramel and some British rustic hops, as for the flavours, developing in a slight bitter end.

Dec 12, 2008 This amber ale poured with a foamy beige head and a floral aroma. There is a nice caramel malt base with lots of spice and a grassy hop finish. 14

Dec 6, 2008 essa imponente IPA inglesa já mostra de cara a que veio. A garrafa, de 750ml e com direito a rolha, já apresenta um visual fantástico. Sua espuma tem aparência inicial média, coloração esbranquiçada e moderada formação de colarinho. Seu corpo é claro e de coloração cobre-claro. O aroma é agradável: forte presença de malte aliada a notas de caramelo, grama e um tanto de café. O delicioso sabor é moderadamente amargo no início e apresenta pesado amargor no final, este de longa duração, uma dádiva. Seu corpo é médio, de textura seca, forte carbonatação e final levemente adstringente e chalky. Seu fortíssimo - e crescente - amargor é agradável e mais acentuado que o observado em outras cervejas do gênero. Nota-se bem a presença do álcool, bem como um aquecimento alcoólico da metade do gole em diante. Seu delicado fundo adocicado atenua brilhantemente o amargor.
