3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma is fruity, tangerine, oranges. Soft bitter and herbal taste. Mediumbodied.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled: Dark orange coloured. Unclear. Dense light beige head. Aroma is herbal, flowery,sweet and has a light note of chocolate. Flavour is fruity, herbal, citrusy, and very well hopped. Is well bodied, and has a dense hoppy bitterness in the end. Good one.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fully hazy (end of bottle), orange with olive shine. Again a dry hopsacks’ nose, grapey, preserved oranges. Sweet, cakey taste, with a dash of (good) USA hopse, bit of pineapple flavour. No harsh bitterness hire. Slick MF, well-bodied, not very carbonated I think. Better IPA than the Palisade, but here one would nearly like some MORE citrussy hops. Of course, having the end of the bottle, it was quite creamy, more than usual. Hip hip for the brother of the Bierkönig.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at the RBG Low Countries 2005 tasting session
White, creamy body. Muddy orange body. Tiny particles. Nose of citrus, pears and plums. Lighty sweet, lightly btiter initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish (averagily long). Lightly bodied and quite flat.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very fruity and quite piney hop aroma, notes of oranges and clementines, some malt sweetness underneath. Cloudy orange colored body, with a medium sized off-white head. Fruity flavor, with good lemony and grapefruit hoppyness, not so bitter again, but very well balanced.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled.
Cloudy amber appearance. Aroma is fruity with loads of cascade hops aroma with the classic citrus aroma. Flavour is fruity and very soft. Bitter finish. A nice IPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Cloudy nut brown, creamy head. Aroma of grapefruit and licorice. Sweet with very soft, gentle mouthfeel with near full body. When the aromatic hops roll in they cover the finish in layer after layer of grapefruity bitterness. Really good!
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cloudy amber colour with a beige medium head. Light caramel malty sweet aroma with a heavy hoppy bitterness and hints of fruit. Strong hoppy fruity flavor with lemon / pineapple notes. Long dry bitter finish. Nice one!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(bottle) Hazy muddy orange appearnce with a low tan head. Fresh hoppy citric cascade aroma. Orange-peels and lemon in flavour. Soft mouthfeel. Quite bitter grapefruity finish but not enough. Still, this is a well-crafted beer nontheless.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(on bottle) Had in a pintglass, making dinner, this was a real teat to drink. Beautifull dar, hazy orange colour. Dark as a fox from the bogs. really small, but steady head. Weel, tha aroma was hoppish, cascade? But also biscuit and fresh apple. Soft mouthfeel, slow apple and abricot flavour and then a hard lash, almost metallic, lash of the hopping. That soon smoothes out and the drink gets really nice. Best of all; this is just an IPA, not those big recegual sugars, like in the IIPAs.
