Feb 19, 2008 Bottle. Golden beer with a strong foamy head. The aroma is well hopped and dry, and the flavour is very bitter and well hopped. Overall a nice deeply hopped and dry beer.

Feb 9, 2008 From bottle : Pours cloudy orange, with a good amount of carbonation and a finger and a half of white foamy head. After a few minutes the head starts to fade, slowly. Very strong aroma of hops, citrus hops, and a hint of cider it would seem, with some spices as well. When i first take a sip, there is alot of carbonation in here. Taste is very ipa, lots of hops, and a fair amount of bitterness on the end, and also leaves a bitter hop aftertaste. Thicker in body then most other ipa’s i think, with a smooth creamy feel in the mouth, tell the end, when it even feels a bit bitter. Not at all a bad example of a ipa, just not my favorite one.

Feb 7, 2008 Bottle (Gusher): Pours a hazy orange color with huge bubbly head. The nose is woody with a spicy orange and grassy noble hop forward character. The flavor is strong with carbonation with a light caramel and malt note. Subtle hop flavors, more about the twang than the thang. Not worth the price IMO.

Feb 7, 2008 75 cl. bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a substantial bumpy off-white head. Floral, lemony and grassy hop aromas, almost like a potpourri. Flavor marked by leafy and citrusy hops, light caramel malts and with a pungent earthy and herbal character on the finish. Way more hop character then I was expecting, which was pretty cool.

Feb 5, 2008 Soft, fruity nose, very aromatic with confectionary characters. Soft flavours to taste, fruity early before a rapaid sharpening-up from a bitter and hoppy finish. Some thickening on the finish with aniseed, possibly from the ABV. Amazingly well packaged.

Feb 4, 2008 Pours a fully clouded orange with a very minimal head. Nose is perfumed and also with hop character. Flavor is very smooth and consistent with hops. There is a definite salty tone. Feel has a lot of bubble and a good liquid feel. Overall this is a good smooth IPA. Nothing showy at all, but more along a traditional line I would say. Nice to try.

Jan 15, 2008 Nice bright coloured orange/bronze body with a thinnish tan head on top. Aroma of fresh hops, citrus, cardboard and a pungent alcohol scent. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong spicey hoppiness with a pungent bitterness and a mouth-drying maltiness. Aftertaste shows the bitterness of the hops, but some bright and fruity characteristics as well. Overall, a good IPA - no bad characteristics at all...great to try! I sampled this 75 cL bottle with Jon[r888710] purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 10-October-2005.
