[Vintage 2001 - sampled 2004] A hazy deep red beer with a small light brown disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit and alcohol. The flavor is fruity with notes of strawberries, without much sweetness, but a good hoppyness, that gives it a very dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with a small, off-white head. Fat, hoppy aroma. Rather full-bodied, lightly burned caramel flavour with an underlying sweetness. Very dominated by the hop blend without being overly bitter - somewhat muddy hop character. 020706

Copper, hugely hoppy nose - rich, earthy piney, resiny aromas; very bitter. Classic IPA.

Torpedo Ale (#2) on draft at the Taphouse, Seattle. Golden-bronze colour. Fairly light cascadey old school aroma. Good body. Spicy, minty, woody flavours. Lots of minerals, earthy malts. Great balance and easy drinking, too. Aroma score is a 6, all other scores the same.

Orange colour with a small beige head. Aroma of malt, hops and fruit. Malty flavour with notes of fruit, that ends up with a nice and lasting bitter finish. Nice IPA.
