An orange beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes being light apricot. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of apricot, leading to a bitter end. An OK beer - but I find it more spiced than IPA-like.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours cloudy and dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and caramelish to breadish malty. Mild peachy and slight citrusy fruity. Sweet malty and mild peachy into a bone dry and bitter finish.

Bottle at fiulijn. Clear orange coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of hops, caramel and grass. Fruity flavour of caramel, grass and hops with notes if citrus. Dry hoppy finish of peaches.

Cloudy orange color; small head. The aroma is very light, and there are some vegetables. The flavor too, along with dry toffee, has some vegetables; ordinary bitterness. There is not much quality here.

Clear amber with a medium off white head. Hoppy aroma with grapefruits, pine and toasted malt. Flavour had toasted malt, caramel, pine and grapefruits. Finished bitter and dry.

I used to like this beer, but hadn’t had it in a few years. I’m hoping the beer I just tried was abused, because otherwise they’ve fallen a long way. The taste was sour hoppy, and the aroma was awful -- i smelled something akin to urine. I want to give it another try, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it.

on tap-pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Hoppy aroma. Good taste. This is a good middle of class IPA, quite enjoyable.

11th October 2008. GABF. Very dry and spicy IPA. Dry as in where has all the moisture gone in my mouth.? Bleh!

Tap at beer temple in Amsterdam. Orange amber witha foamy white head. Strong fruity hop aroma. Medium body. Pretty hoppy with fruit/floral - but not all that bitter. Quite pleasant.
