Dark golden ale with a thin white head. Strong diacetyl aroma, overpowers the hops. In mouth, caramelly hops with rather flat character, lingering with some nutty notes and a oily mouthfeel. Bizarre Ipa. On tap at the CNY Brewfest 2006.

Floral and citrus aroma, while being deep amber with a medium head. Smells delicious, and tastes like a cross between an English and American IPA.

On tap at the brewery in both regular and oak-aged versions
Bright amber; aroma of pine, mint, liquorice, and caramel. Palate has a bark-like bitterness, caramel and earth, with a little toffee in the finish. The oak-aged version was overwhelmingly oaky in both aroma and palate, totally to the detriment of balance. The brewer figured it could do with a few weeks to mellow out and allow the flavours to become better integrated, and I have to agree. That said, they blew a cask in about half an hour when they launched it. Rating is for standard version only.
