4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Hazy orange pour with a smallish white crown. Pungent hop aroma with notes of tropical fruits, cat pee and spice. The hops and fruit were served up again in spades flavour-wise. Typically cracking balance. Mouth coating bitterness. Can’t fault this, a winning kick-bottom collaboration.

Buena presencia. Aroma a lúpulo sobre todo. Perfecta integración de maltas con lúpulo maltas negras. Muy buena
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Oct 2012 - bottle, cold. Very nice IPA. One of the best ones I’ve tried. Foretaste is rich caramel, bitterness is marked but not overpowering. A bit floral (which is one of the aspects of IPA I don’t like so much). Good

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle from Coppers, Newcastle. A cloudy yellow-orange beer with very sweet and rich juicy fruit chewing-gum flavours. Sweet citrus and tropical fruits with a creamy, smooth fruity (again!) finish. Excellent!!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy amber colour with a thick white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is of fruit and hops. The flavour is medium bitter, a little dry, spicy and malty with floral and pine notes. The palate is bitter, but smooth and the bitterness lingers into the aftertaste. Some IPA’s have too much flavour, but this one has got it right in my humble opinion. A superb beer!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Flaske 0,33l spandert av og delt med Rune under seanse hos ham 7 Jan 13. Lys gylden. Høyt luftig skum som daler. Mye fester seg til glasset. God frukt/tyggegummiaroma. Smaken bra balansert. Litt syrlig frukt med en litt tørr ettersmak. Siste kvelling er direkte melkehvit og gjørmete. Bunnsedimentene kjennes som prikker på tunga og er kjempesyrlig. Helt spesiell.
