COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Eleven is made with a single variety of hops, Phoenix, from the UK. Phoenix was developed at Wye College to be a high alpha acid (bitterness) hops with a British flavor profile. Phoenix is also low in cohumulone and high in aromatic oils, so you can throw a ton of ’em in and the beer will stay smooth and aromatic. This beer has 109 IBUs in it! The taste profile is incredibly balanced and dangerously drinkable for an 11.7% brew. But don’t look for that grapefruity-piny taste you get from US hops (not that there’s anything wrong with that), these buds are fruity and earthy with an almost berry-like aroma, to give this beer a unique taste among big IPAs. Bitterness we got! And malt to back it up, with the result being a very intriguing beer you’ll just want to sip all night thanks to Phoenix hops. Cheers!

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 25, 2007
(750ml bottle) Sampled at Oakes 2007 Christmas party. Lasting almond thin head with a cloudy deep orange. Nose of peaches, oranges with an alcoholic finish. Flavour of seville oranges and a thick malt. Average.

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - DEC 25, 2007
12 fl. oz. Amber clear colour with a little head. Strange oxidated aroma with notes of wet wood. Also strange flavour of wood, oak and alcohol. Very little bitter but a long aftertaste.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - DEC 23, 2007
Beautiful clean amber color; creamy head. Nice aroma, cheesy, malty and hoppy, with some pine resin; also some alcohol. Powerful body strength, immediately warming (but without unwanted traces of alcohol), full malty, with sweet caramel flavor, toffee, extreme hopping, very resiny; the only flaw is a kind of paper aftertaste. In the final, there is also a touch of pear syrup. Excellent.

Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 19, 2007
Cloudy beige. Yeasty nose with hints of perfume. Bitter, yeasty with lots of hop. Very bitter finish with some honeyish notes. Interesting hop...wish I had more time to get to know this brew as its always tough to fully appreciate a new hop on the first go.

Beershine (4562) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - DEC 17, 2007
Pours cloudy red color. Vinous aromas, also malt and overripe fruit. Thick bold mouthfeel. A little on the syrupy-sticky side though. Nice hop profile.

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting: Poured a amber color with bubbly head. The aroma was sweet fruit with hops. The taste is nice with a piney hoppiness.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 3, 2007
Bottle at ultimate glasgow tasting. Aroma is packed with bittering hops, spicey at times and a pepperyness from the alc, but alround just bitter. Taste is similarly hitting it hard with the alc and bittering hops, theres grassy hints of pine, but i recon this was ment to have been had fresh and its almost 2yrs old so lackign somewhat.
