Aug 4, 2009 From the bottle, poured nice and clear deep amber orange with moderate off-white, orange hued head, settling after about a minute. Nice lacing. I detect aromas of caramel and citrusy hops. The flavor is definite hoppy bitterness, but still allows sweetness and breadiness to come through. The finish is gentle. It’s a great, smooth IPA.

Aug 1, 2009 Bottle. Musky pine hops with citrus and caramel notes. Perfectly clear gold/amber with a nice white head. Very well balanced hop-led flavor profile with a nice toasty/bready note and good sweetness. Bitterness is in check but strong. Dry palate, nice and full-bodied. A good subdued IPA.

Jul 14, 2009 Updated: Sep 3, 2009Overall Impression:
Rating from August of last year, that has limited notes. Have it down as a pine/citrus brew, that I described as being between a Pale Ale and an IPA. 7/4/7/3/14
Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 9/3/09
Aroma: Nose was better the I remembered...juicy citrus hops
Appearance: Slightly hazy red-orange color
Flavor: Nice hop character and some malt backing
Palate: Solid mouthfeel, drinks nicely, smooth, medium body
Overall Impression:
Figured I’d update the rating on a 2009 bottle. Rating actually went up slightly, the nose was better then I remembered, and it is a nice beer. 8/4/7/3/15

Jul 7, 2009 Bottle conditioned, 350ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. Bright clear amber with chunky white head. There is a good, dry, mid roasted malt as a background to a big dry, grassy, woody hop flavour. The caramel malt giving depth, while the hop gives the interest. A well crafted beer, very nice.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Floral hoppiness, light grass, pine and grapefruit. Caramel malt presence in excess but still nice overall.
