4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
28-MAR-2013, bottle @home, from Høkeren.
Hazy orange with lasting almost white head.
Very fruity and sweet aroma with a good dose of malt.
Taste the same with grape fruit, pine, orange peel, peach.
Very bitter but also very malty sweet for an IPA. Bordering an IIPA with its relatively high ABV and sweetness. Good body and soft carbonation. Very fine brew it is.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slight haze in a dirty golden amber with a long-lasting rocky white head, streaks and dots of lace. The taste is somewhat typical: malt and bitter floral hops in an even match that grows into palate with a peppery snap, accompanied by mild butter rum. By the finish, all that’s left is the bittering, which ebbs slowly away. This must be a popular brew with hopheads - a designation in which I can’t include myself. Even so, well done.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber from the Saxapahaw General Store after a fine dinner and before a great Drive-By Truckers show at the Haw River Ballroom. Fuck yeah. Pours lighter orange, sort of hazy. Not too much head. Pretty much a slightly maltier but spicier Two Hearted Ale. The hop profile was similar, but with a bit of a peppery kick. I dunno, it was alright, but something about it just didn’t impress me. Maybe it was a weird follow up to the delicious Sinebrychoff Koff Porter I had with the fantastic local pork/beef meatloaf there, but I think it’s just not my style of IPA.

A great golden beer with a yellow tint ansld a sticky white head. Sticky butterscotch aroma with resinous bitter hops. Taste is superb citrus and bitter flower cones. Yup.

clear, amber colour with a pale head. floral hops and pine cones, resinous, and sweet malts. Hoppy west coast style brew. Tasty brew that doesn’t disapoint.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I taste some citrus and pine. Some malt. A little sour on extended aftertaste with bitterness. Average carbonation, good head and decent lacing. Golden pour. On tap at Taberna Lupulo.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a murky golden with a lingering head. Aggressive hop aroma with citrus and piney notes. Taste is heavy on the front end with the aggressive hops notes of citrus and bitterness. The finish is somewhat dry but lacks a complexity and balance. Overall good, not great.

Orange golden with a large, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has oranges and caremel.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is citric and fruity with notes of pine, orange peel and light toasted malt. The flavour is biscuits, citrus, pine, hay and orange peel. Quite zesty refreshing feel overall.
