ewestern (198), Ohio, USA Jul 30, 2008 Little aroma was present. Light amber color with a decent white head. the head dissipated put left a small thin layer - bonus points from that. Sweet citrus start with a nice bitter finish that ends almost as soon as it finishes. Made me think of a watered down IPA. Russo (595), Campinas, Brazil Jul 18, 2008 On Tap at Old Chicago, Omaha, NE. Nice dark brown color, thin white head. Aroma is hopy like his flavor, mouthfeel is a good bitter . Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Jul 9, 2008 On tap at the White Horse, Parsons Green, 4th July 2008. Rich amber with hops, malt and honey on the nose. Good hoppy flavour and nicely full bodied, if somewhat flat. Beerman6686 (1264), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 7, 2008 POured an amber color with off white head. Aroma was a bit strange with some hops, cant put my finger on the strange aroma. Flavor is a harsh weird medicinal bitterness. Not quite sure why this is so bad while there other hopped up selections are very good. AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jul 1, 2008 Another gracious bottle from what I thought was my best friend’s fridge. Glad I could be taking one for the team and alleviating his fridge of this goodliness.
Pours amber in color with a nice half inch head. Smell is some grassy, piney hops. Subdued hops, but they are there. Taste is pretty non-obtrusive IPA. Nothing to get excited about, and not enough hops to make it memorable. Easy drinking, slightly bittering. Decent beer, but will not drink again. Now where’s my Two Hearted! doubelknv3 (559), Illinois, USA Jun 18, 2008 Citrus, grapefruit, and bready aroma. Light golden, clear, with frothy white head. Grapefruit, alcohol, and straw-bread malts. Dry, bitter finish. petermadsen (391), Vesterbronxxx, Denmark May 22, 2008 A ruby ale with a offwhite head. Aroma is quite malty with some neat hop notes. Flavour is rather full with fat malt and some hops. Quite bitter.
And IPA with a quite a focus on the malt and the bitterness.
Actually quite refreshing having an IPA with a very moderate hop aroma and flavour! phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 19, 2008 Pours a dark, caramel colour with a full white head. Not overly hoppy, in fact mild for its style. Aroma is semi sweet with hints of pine and biscuits. Taste is astringent, with caramel, hops and grapefruit.
