Nov 4, 2007 Draft. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy giving it notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is also sweet and very hoppy - giving it notes of grass and grapefruit, but also with note of caramel. I also had this bottle, where I found it had lost some character, bottled scores 6/3/7/3/13=3.2

Clear nut bown. Somewhat restrained grapefruity hop aroma. Clean straight forward malt profile. Lingering salty bitter finish.

Nov 9, 2007 (Bottle 72 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Vintage 2007. Clear, amber coloured with a small, off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Fresh, citrusy aroma. Medium body with a light caramel sweetness and again these fresh, citrusy hop accents that also leave a solid bitterness. Incredibly crisp and refreshing IPA. 021107

Oct 28, 2007 Bottle, from malto
Bright amber with a thick, rich head. Deep woody aroma with earth, caramel, mushroom. One of those "forest after it rains" kind of brews. The flavour is bitter foremost - slightly resiny, slightly piney, quite woody. There is a sweet edge to it from crystal malt that takes on a muscovado character. In the finish you get all of the above, plus a brighter tangerine or tangelo note as well...and a slight bit of stickiness and alcoholic warmth. A little more "amber" than I prefer my IPAs, perhaps due to the limited amount of bright notes, but it’s a quality brew nonetheless.

Lovely fruity aroma and with a base of caramel malt. Flavour is decent bitter on top of a sweet malt base. Ends in a nice caramel and hoppy blend with mild bitterness. Well balanced.7-4-7-3-15=3.6
