| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 26, 2008 Draught: Pours a cloudy golden yellow, filmy head and somewhat transparent. Lemon zest and fresh cut wood aroma. Some note of alcohol. Bitter pine and orange peal flavor, interesting hop finish. Palate is a little bitter on the tip of the tongue, but smooth from start to finish. Fantastic IPA. RichardGretton (3143), Leicestershire, England

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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 ipas 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.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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. Stew41 (1050), Caulfield, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
