ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jan 23, 2005 Doesn’t have the piney/hoppy aroma that is typical from a IIPA. Hazy yellow orange. Excellent lace. Very nice at mid glass. Fresh. A little cloying at the back of the tongue. Thanks to Slikwily for including this in his package of beers for my Winter Tating party. hellomynameis (794), Mayer, Minnesota, USA Jan 23, 2005 massivly hoppy. Lots of grapefruit and other citrus notes in the arom and taste. There is a bit of a sweet side o it, which made this a nice and complex IPA. Lingering bitter finish. omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 19, 2004 Bottled. Amber colour. Rich grapefruit aroma. Full bodied, some alcohol comes through the massive hop flavour Lots of grapefruit and some biscuits. Long bitter finish. jbrus (4835), Delft, Netherlands Oct 24, 2004 Apple and hop aroma. Hazy, copper color, off-white head, very nice lace. Sweet, first quite neutral but soon rather hoppy, bitter and fruity. Dry finish.

Clear, amber/copper coloured with an off-white, lasting head. Taste of much cascade hops, bitterness, sweetness and some fruit. Quite dry brew. Nice. jerohen (1602), Bussum, Netherlands Oct 24, 2004 Dutch Ratebeer Meeting. Red-brown coloured, initally large head. Strong hoppy aroma. Sweet and malty flavour, some fruit. Quite easy to drink. My first experience with the style. bierkoning (5987), La Tropica, Netherlands Oct 24, 2004 Amber color, firm head. Hoppy blackcurrant aroma and flavor. Has some fruity sweetness. Grapes.
