Aubrey (3125) - Bellingham, USA - FEB 23, 2006
Hazy gold with a foamy white head. Had a decent creaminess to it. Malts: Only a pinch of caramel sweetness along with some toast. Although, curiously enough, it had a stickiness factor. Hops: Rich and grassy, with light background aromas of flowers. Malt sweetness was light and the hop bitterness was relatively faint, but there seemed to be a lot going on in the middle. That said, balance was real nice. Overall, I thought it was tasty and enjoyable. Placed against comparables, IMO, it seemed more like a boldish American PA than an American IPA.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - MAR 12, 2011
From a 12 oz bottle from a six pack purchased in Silver Spring, Maryland, this poured a slightly hazy amber to copper color with a foamy white head and good lacing rings. The nose is pine and citrus hops. Body is medium and mouthfeel on the oily side. The flavor is a good balance between the light caramel malts and bitter hops. The finish is dry and bitter. Good.

crossovert (2523) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 10, 2011
12 oz brown bottle. No apparent date, just a bottling code. It pours a clear orange/amber/gold with a fluffy white head that sticks for a bit and leaves some decent lacing. The smell is very doughy with an overlying of English hops. English hops aren’t always my favorite and here im getting a bit of a vomity/tomato scent. The flavor is simple, perhaps a bit vegetal and herbal with the hops. Not too much bitterness although it comes through in the aftertaste. The malt is rich but not sweet, it has more of a grainy/bready characteristic. It tastes pretty traditional, it doesn’t get out of control with the hops. It has a pretty good mouthfeel as well.

Draught at Beer Temple in Amsterdam. Really nice colour, orange and blood orange, moshy beige head. Smells glue, very artificial. The taste is really not good. Weak, and the little flavour I felt is really not good.
