A slightly translucent golden color with a 1-finger thick frothy white head. A good bit of lacing from this beer. The aroma is a sticky apricot and clover honey with some dank, earthy notes. The hops in the flavor don’t hit you in the face right away. The first thing I get is the sweetness of honey and some some peach notes. The hops really shine in the finish. A good lasting bitter flavor. A lot of floral. There is a strange wet dog undertone, but maybe this is just an older bottle. Pretty solid.

Jul 22, 2008 Poured a Gold color, with small white head. Nice hoppy and citrus smell. The mix between the barley and hops is nice. Another good brew by Victory.

Jul 21, 2008 Twickenham Brewery tasting 08. Clear gold, thin white head. Thanks to some decent hops. It’s fine. But a bit metallic. It’s ok, a little disappointing.

Jul 20, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at the Tom’s awesome Twickenham Brewery tasting.
Clean bright gold with an excellent white head. Big resinous hop aroma with some background malt. Lots of petrol. Full on malt and hops in the mouth. Just about balanced but lacking in finesse. Long bitter finish with a little bit of metal. Excellent palate makes it. Was expecting much more of a wallop, it never came.

Jul 19, 2008 (Sample from July 18, 2008 Beer Club Meeting) Cloudy orange with a huge frothy head, no carbonation. Smell is fruity. Taste is somewhat alcoholic, grapefruity. Nice fumes on the nose. My uvula is just fine… Creamy and thick. Nice! Malty hoppenings! I really enjoyed this one.

Jul 19, 2008 bottle. I expected it to have a bit more hops but the level was nice. A hint of the barley was a nice combo.
