Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a white head that laces and dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a light pine hop with some sweet fruit and a very sweet biscuit note. Flavor was similar with a backing pine hop but a very sweet biscuit note that slightly overwhelmed the beer.

This IPA poured a cloudy dark orange colour with the biggest , off white head I think I’ve ever had the pleasure of rating. To the nose there are scents of grassy hops, citurs, sweet malt and bread. First taste was smooth with flavours of citrus and spruce. Slightly bitter with a little sweetness lingering. Hoppy finish with a bitter sweet flavour.

Bottle at Qbrick. Fragrant aroma of spices and dried fruits, hops and grass. Very interesting. Lightish malt, big hops, a bit strange, but compelling.

12oz bottle acquired via a sweet trade bonus from grandet, thanks buddy. Pours brilliant clear pale copper with assertive tan head. The aroma hits with a quick one – two punch from maltiness and straight up citrus bitterness and acidity followed by more mild maltiness. Overall the nose comes across as being a little light for the style. The taste like the nose has both citrus hop bitterness with little in the way of late boil addition hop flavor coupled with smooth maltiness and a hint of nutty, roasty, faint butterscotch. Darn solid taste for an IPA.

Poured a murky copper orange color with greenish hues. The head on this was foamy, white and lots of volume that took a while to fade. Smells soapy and like grapefruit. Taste was pleasant, slightly malty, slighty sweet a touch of citrus hops. All in all, very subtle but very drinkable.

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Clear amber, brief head. Strong hop aroma of lychee and apples. The clean, very hard mouthfeel induces metallic notes and reduces malt flavour to a minimum. Salty finish with lingering bitterness.

Malty aroma is dominant after a pour of cloudy gold brew and off-white head. This beer first tastes sweet - orange and plum and flowers and sweet malts - and then leaves a bitter aftertaste. Thin to medium body and lacking the crispness of many distinctive IPAs. Overall, it lacks pizazz.

2004 bottle at Julios Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Yellow-orange, slight copper tinges and a small, rapidly receding white head. Aroma of fruity orange jam, sweet peaches and light caramel sweetness. Flavor is very fruity, lightly citrusy and has a strong malt presence of caramel and honey sweetness. Body seems a bit too light for my tastes, with very low carbonation and much thinning on the end. Still, the flavor is grand, with no over-the-top bitterness and a good focus on both malt and hops.
