garthicus (1216), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 29, 2008 Thanks Harry - Golden brown, some suspended particles floating in the body, hop-malt aroma, some toffee there too. Toffee mouthfeel, nice carbonation, sweet malt finish, what a good solid beer. Very impressed. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 29, 2008 Bottled at The Rover.
Copper colour with a large, beige head.
Sweet and malty flavour with loads of citric and flowery hoppiness.
Soft and smooth with a dry bitterness. glider (53), Shrub Oak, New York, USA Mar 27, 2008 2007 - 24 oz bottle.....There wasn’t too much to dislike about this beer - it was great. Nice balanced hops, not overpowering like some of Stone’s and with a nice blend of flavors presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 26, 2008 Bottle. 2007 vintage. Fluffy head on a dark red-amber. Rich oily hop and hop resin aroma. The flavour is the hop equivalent of smoking a cigar. Hops coat the tongue. Heavy hops, moderate sweetness. A good IPA. Not sure how much difference the wet vs. dry makes in the beer. Have to find a beer with wet and dry versions. killerK (14), Alamo, California, USA Mar 24, 2008 2007, 24 oz. deep slightly unfiltered amber color with a nice frothy head that stayed consistant for its life. great floral nose with hints of spicy citrus and lemon pepper. not as big of a hop bite as i would of liked for a fresh hop but still kept it steady with a playful hop bouquet on your tongue. jayhopkins23 (27), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 18, 2008 The story behind this beer is great...and you can tell that alot of pride was taking in making this. If you like meduim-bodied ales with lots a fresh hop taste, this is one to search out. Don’t hold onto it very long, it seems that hops aroma and flavor fade with time. It fills the glass with a nice burnt orange color. The body wasn’t too heavy, and matches the cascade hops very well. If you like their pale ale, this one will knock you on your ass Gusgus (176), Mölndal, Sweden Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Aug 30, 2008Bottle at Haket. Deep golden color. Perfectly clear. Aroma of fresh herbs, candy, citrus, blackcurrants and fresh cut potatoes. Sticky bubbles on the tongue. Creamy and clean palate with notes of blood grape and dried apricots. Balanced bitterness that fades in the aftertaste.Very elegant and drinkable.
