Backlog April 2008. Slightly unclear golden orange body under a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malty and rather well hopped, mostly in the citric fruit direction. Feels fresh. Taste is sweet malt, pine and citric fruit with pleasant bitterness. This is really on the borderline to an IPA. Medium body with a nice, slightly sweet and bitter aftertaste.

Canned - of course. Pretty good maybe not quite as awesome as its reputation might indicate. Amber, hops etc, well balanced. I like it, don?t get me wrong.

Can. Nice golden color with a nice head that disappears slowly. Taste like a pale ale. Citrus, spruce flavor and aroma.

0.35 l can, thanks to my family for this one. Pours deep copper with thin and long lasting off-white head. Nose is that of a west coast IPA, a combination of reisonous hops and sweet, honey-biscuity malts. In taste the same notes appear with short, faint bitter finish. Surprisingly heavy for a pale ale and has average carbo. Good one, and it’s close to an IPA in many aspects.

really nice amber color. Nice white head, that seems to last a bit, good lacing on the glass........aroma is a wonderful balance of malt and hops. The flavour is awesome! Such a big bang of hops, hops and more hops. really nice, and the finish isnt that bitter at all. wow, if i could get this all the time, it would easily be my daily drinker! So smooth, and loaded with flavour, GREAT IPA.

Lattina. Sentori il luppolo vanno a dare soddisfazione al naso. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, spezie e mango.

Can from Beergium. Aroma is fruity hops, sweetish caramel malt, touch of orange, pine resin. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium, nice smoothness. Very drinkable balanced hoppy malty APA!
