Keg at CBC Clerkenwell. Orange-gold color with a fine head. Grassy, citrus orange aroma, big dry hopping. Sweet orange flavor, biscuits, grass, tasty dry hopping. Great balance, very fruits—peach and melon, not sweet, goes dry from there, though not too bitter. Excellent.

golden colour, medium white head;aroma of citrus and pine; taste is also dominated by citrussy hops with pine resin and hints of honey-like sweetness; not too complex beer, but well-ballanced and quite drinkable.

Dobre i o szerokiej palecie nut chmielowych, mam wrazenie ze to IPA. Piana solidna czapowata, kolor jasno zloty i przejrzysty. Zapach wiosennych kwiatow. W smaku piwo jest gozkawe i delikatne zarazem, a w glownej roli to smak chmielu amerykanskiego

Tap at Sheffield Tap. Served cold on a hot day. Citrus, spice, bittersweet finish. Nice. But £5 a pint! Come on Tap, it’s £3.60-£3.70 anywhere else round here! (That’s not really rating the beer, is it? Sorry).

BOTTLE 50 CL, 8 months old. Clear golden-amber, ivory head. Some sweet citrus and earthy British style hops, elderflowers, subtle caramel. The flavour follows the aroma. The finish is earthy hops, the mouthfeel is smooth. At eight months old it’s a bit past its prime. Still good. 6-4-6-4-13=3,3.


-------------------- -



BOTTLE 50 CL, 1 month old. Fresh aggressive, dank and catty hops, Light citrus tartness. Notes of fresh bread id all you get from the malts. Soft moderate dank bitterness. Feels too fresh and aggressive! 7-4-7-4-14=3,6

A slightly hazy, a golden in colour with nice bubbles. A head is medium and blond. The nose is tropical and nice, citrusfruits, mangos and only hint of pine needles. As aroma, a taste is also fruitfull, grapefruits, lemon, more pine needles than in the aroma, but they are still in the background. Biscuity malts in the end. Medium bodied, mild carbonation, smooth to drink. Calm and high-quality beer with lots of fruits. Again, Thornbridge has been brewed a tastefull and sophisticated beer. All the flavours aren’t directly hit in your face, but instead you can find the flavours in your own pace.
