From a 355ml bottle on 17/6/2013. Pours a cloudy dark golden with a small to medium head. Has a very pleasant aroma of soft musk, flowers and a touch of grapefruit. The flavour is impressive with lots of sweet citrus (particularly orange and mandarin) and honey, against a thick caramel malt background. While the sweetness just wins out in the end, there is a satisfying, slightly tangy, grapefruity hop bitterness at the back which gives it real balance. The palate borders on creamy and the carbonation is medium. Presents more as a standard IPA than an imperial, but is exceptionally tasty none the less. A very nice surprise given their stock IPA was fairly pedestrian.

Hazy Copper Color. Bitter with pine aftertaste. Leaves you with bitter and creamy feeling for quite some time after you finish drinking. Pretty Good.

Cloudy, amber and inviting in the glass, this one gives off aromas of citrus, pine, resin and butterscotch. In the mouth there’s loads of hops and malt in beautiful alignment. Grapefruit, pine, spearmint, caramel, toast and even a little chocolate. It’s long, creamy and delicious.

Pours deep amber with a small head.Nose shows hefty amounts of sweet rich malt along with some resinous piny hops.Very bold flavours. Big piny and resinous hops along with an aggressive piny bitterness. Some malt underneath but not all that interesting.A bit too much carbonation.

Bottle. Orangish amber, an inch of white head. Aroma of orange blossoms, pine and caramel. Full-bodied. Sweetish with oranges, caramel, a little peach; fairly big bitterness comes in straight away. Balance OK, clean; utterly without character: shruggo.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy dark orange with about a finger of white head. Aroma of dank, citrus and herbal hops. Taste is medium bitter and light sweet. Citrus and pine. Quite earthy. Medium bodied with a thin yet somewhat sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, pretty darn good. I would gladly drink this again.

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2012, Olympia, London. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Aroma of old socks and dustbins, quite horrible. Tastes hoppy, citrus, grapefruit and this musty thing going on which may be due to the dreadful aroma. Not very well balanced.
