4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
My favortie beer. As big and hoppy as any Imperial double IPA, the nuggets really come through in the nose and the taste is superior to all.

This is one of the best out there. The IPA that’s not! This only available for a short time each year. Worth waiting for.

Bottle to glass. courtesy of pabocat. Got this delightful treat in a trade and was pleasantly suprised. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this before. Very excellent beer. Copper pour with generous white head. A wonderful, bright aroma of citrusy fruit. An excellent nose. A nice and bitter with a slight sweetness on the background.
I just need to say again, how much I loved this beer. Will definitely trade for some more.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass golden, nice head. Starts mild, modest dry. Gets stronger, drier, intense hoppy, but all in all still on a mild level. Modest dry and soapy finish. Not my favourite.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bought this as my local Canal’s due to a friends suggestion.
This beer is beautiful. Poured into a pint glass. Red/amber color with a thick rocky head that clings to the side of the glass. Head disappears fast though. The smell is excellent, slightly floral and piney with a hoppy smell.
The taste is complex. Not so hoppy, slightly sweet with a brilliant piney after taste. Like a subtle IPA. Goes down smooth, very drinkable beer.

Outstanding beer, looks great when you pour out the orange hazy beer, the aroma is fruity, hoppy, piney. The taste is great and way more complex than a lot of imperial ambers. Courtesy of Andy in MA, thank you sir for those bottles!!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
From BA.
Thanks to hopz4life (BA) for this one.
Appearance:
A clear honey orange color. With less light, more of an amber. A single finger of head which dissipated very quickly, like a foamy cola. Some carbonation bubbles.
Aroma:
caramelly and slightly sweet. Some bitter aromas come through too. Hops character is both piney and citrusy, but not citrusy enough that I can put a finger on the exact fruit.
Taste:
Piney and resinous hops with a good smacking of that caramel malt. Bitter in the beginning and through the middle, but balances for a sweet and pleasant finish.
Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied, silky. Very smooth with some carbonation and bitey alcohol. Not harsh, not oily.
Drinkability:
I’d have another. I can’t say what the price was, but it definitely seems very drinkable to me. Good, hoppier than I’d expect for an amber, but I’m an IPA fan so this reflects well.
