omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 13, 2006 Bottled. Clear pale amber. Hoppy aroma of lychee and apricot. Dryish with slender body and clean mouthfeel. Salty lychees dominate the flavours. Really bitter finish. Oakes (6973), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Feb 12, 2006 Golden colour. Expressively floral, woodsy aroma. Bitter, even body admittedly straight from the Brewing 101 textbook but fairly decent quality level. Dry, slightly herbal finish. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 17, 2007 Updated: Feb 12, 2008Date: 12/15/2007

CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 15, 2007 Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh resiny grapefruity hops with a touch of pale malt. Body starts with good fullness and pale malty sweetness toward a crisp bittersweet finish. Nicely balanced throughout and a good IPA. hopdog (4645), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 1, 2008 22oz bottle acquired in trade with goldtwins (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, some earthiness in the background, and light caramel. Tastes of citrus and caramel. It isn’t a complex IPA, but I still found it drinkable.
