Közepes, nagyon tartós hab, borostyán szín. Intenzív citrusos illat, enyhe mézes, narancsos illatok. Citrusos, mandarinos, grapefruitos ízvilág, enyhe mézes aromával és markáns gyantával, hosszú lecsengéssel. Intenzív keserű, nagy test, közepes szénsavtartalom. Nagyon finom, minden kortya új élményt rejt.

Bottle at home whilst cooking Moussaka and making Chocolate and Lime Ice Cream, Sunday 14th August 2016 Pours a dark hazy light amber with a white to off-white head. Thick in the mouth, fruity and tangy but also with that big US IPA feel, i.e. too much crystal malt. There is a resin bite, juicy and fruity. This is syrupy with a thick mouthfeel, bitter sweet with a lingering bitterness. Nice. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Golden coloured body with a bit of bronze and copper and a nice, super thick, six centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of metal, light malt, alcohol, fresh floral and perfumey hops and a bit of sweetness from the fruits. Medium to Full-bodied; Dense alcohol and hop flavour at first with some fresh pine, spruce, grass, flowers and herbs all noticeable and a good deal of sweetness from apricots and pears. Aftertaste shows the fresh hops, earth, pine, grass, hay, alcohol and flowers and a bit of toffee from the malt, too. Overall, a decent Imperial IPA at best - showing way too much malts and alcohol warmth to be considered good, and not enough complexity or depth throughout to be worthwhile. Still, nice to try, given that it’s from a legendary brewer in the USA. I sampled this stubby [anchor] twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2016 for US$2,69 sampled in my hotel room in Portland, Maine on 28-July-2016.

Bottles from Cornelius and Beer Gonzo. Hazy amber body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of parma violets, marmalade and kaffir lime leaves. Flavour of liquorice root, dried orange peel and honey. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Yet another quality, elegant Anchor beer. I loved this - it’s bitter, hoppy and drinks easily for the ABV. (Previous rating: 4.0.)

Bottle. Cotteridge. Light amber. Soft haze. Decent, foamy, sticky, lasting, off white head. Nose has fruity sweet malts. Ripe, fusty orange hop. Notes of strawberry ice cream. Some medicinal herb. Taste is orangey, pithy bitter. Touch of stickiness. Fairly full, oily, chewy mouthfeel. Long, zesty, herbal bitter finish. Nice one.

Bottle @ home. Clear orange color, full sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, hops. Taste malts, hops, light resin, almost a bit sweet at some point, but it finishes decently bitter. Hop and malt bitter aftertaste. Decent body, average carbonation. Ok beer.

bottle - Dark gold pour, one finger white head, smells of bready and caramel malt and hops with mild pine and citrus. The flavor is quite bitter as expected though maybe on the low end for the style. There are some mild earthy and fruity notes. It’s medium to full bodied with a nice bitter finish.

12.02.2016, 12 oz bottle @ home:
Big creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet grassy, leafs, caramel malts, wet hops, grass, sugar, moss, minerals, alcohol, weeds. Taste is sweet boozy, sugar, caramel malts, leafs, booze, paper, harsh hops, moss, bark, weeds, grass. Longlasting harsh bitterness, boozy mouthfeel. Not my cup of tea...

12 ounce bottle. Pours a deep Amber orange with a small dense creamy beige head. Sweet caramel malt nose redolent of apricot and tangerine. First sip brings bittersweet toasted malt and white peppercorns. Middle has pink grapefruit peel and dried apricot. Finish brings warming alcohol, citrus hops and bitter lemon peel. Lots of hops balanced nicely by the malty backbone. Anchor nailed it!
