12 oz. bottle in trade with Fletche00. Hazy orange color, with a thin, beige head. The aroma is honey, floral hops, brown sugar, orange peels, and some light rye. Very nicely balanced flavor. Somehow both very sweet and very bitter. The aftertaste is mild and pleasant bitterness. Medium to heavy body, grainy, and just a little astringent and clingy. Overall, this is an excellent malty IPA. The grain bill is in perfect balance with the hopping, leaving a complex and delicious beer.

12oz bottle. Frankly, after my previous two Barley Island beers opening with an infected gush, I’m pretty happy with this one. Unfiltered orange-tan, thin white head. Earthy mellow hop aroma, kind of reminiscent of an APA. Kind of has a lemon-lime touch. Pretty decent, standard brewpub IPA. A touch of English character. Drinkable, toasty malt backbone. OK.

Bottle. Caramel malt and sweet orange aroma. Hazy orange with a small off-white head, light lacing. Pronounced biscuity malt flavor, with a light piney/citrus hop bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Nice.

Bottled@Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Deep golden colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is citrus fruits, mild tropical fruits as well as some crisp bready and sweet maltyness. Flavour is fruity, floral and rather malty with a crispy bite. tonguetickling carbonation. Balanced and quite nice not too sweet IPA.

Bottle at SBWF. Characteristic orange color with a decent white foam. Tropical fruits found in the aroma and taste but it was not an explosion of them. Nah, it was quite a bit anonymous still drinkable.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, small head. Concentrated perfumy nose with pine needles and mango. Fairly sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Lightly roasty with salty, lightly resiny finish providing good bitterness. Pleasant unheralded IPA.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Sahara Mart (Bloomington, IN), 5/18/09
Aroma: Light sweet nose, citrus, floral
Appearance: Hazy orange color, nice looking creamy white head, some solid lacing on this one
Flavor: A light hoppy flavor, not really a strong hop character, but a solid one, finish is a bit tart
Palate: Nice smooth beer, but it fades too quickly
Overall Impression: I didn't love this one, nice nose and a decent flavor, but it fades quickly, which was disappointing. Everything about this beer starts better then it ends.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his Februmergency Tasting. Deep gold body with a whit head. Toasty, nutty (almost peanuty) malty aroma. Nutty with a nice bitter balance.
