Dark golden pour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity and sweet aroma of apples and apricots and alcohol. Spicy flavor, nicely bittered. But underneath is a comfortable fruit sweetness. Medium body and sticky finish. Fizzy carbonation. Overall, this stands apart from its IPA/APA cascade brothers — and nicely so.

Pours sort of dull gold with a weak off white head. The aroma is light with hints of hops and some malt. The above average carbonation brings out a sizable floral to citrus hoppiness. There is also a noticeably chewy amount of sweet and slightly grainy malts. Enjoyable IPA but not really noteworthy.

Bottle from Trafer Joes; flowery, grainy nose, with a tiny bit of hops; orange-gold with a huge off-white head; flavor has caramel, hops and a peppermint twist to it, trailing into a mild bitter hop finish that hangs in there along with the mintiness.

Bottled. Orange colour, small head. Flowery and grassy hops in both aroma and flavour. Very watery and boring, it lacks all fruitish hops and most other things US IPA’s usually have. Waste of money.

Pours an amber colour with a white big and a bit sticky head, that disappears fast. The aroma is a bit malty and a bit fruity. But the flavor is a bit weak compared to other ipa’s i have tried. It has some bitterness from the hops and a bit fruitiness. The aftertaste is quite long and bitter.

Orange beer with olive shine; yellowish-orange head, not lasting. Creamy nose, bit dull, spicey. It’s definitely Fuggles; with some decent American hop in this concentration, aroma had gone trough the roof. Snif. A bit honeyish. Quite bitter taste, but uniform, unidimensional. Just a little crystal malt, toasted maybe underneath. Bitterness diminishes gradually, fading with no new aftertaste. Bit burning MF, light to medium bodied. Empty palate for an IPA. Timid, apart from the bitterness. Americans, leave the Fuggles/Goldings and above all the Maris Otter to the Brits. There’s enough of that dead-boring stuff around.
