330 ml bottle into glass. Subtle hop nose with tiny malt note. Looks like caramel fudge with an off white head. Opaque, so I can’t see any bubbles. Medium body, nicely bitter. Aftertaste is really well balanced, subtle creamy bitterness, a little toffee then very late lasting bitterness. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Orange amber colour, thin off-white foam head, aroma of malt caramel & citrus resin hop. Biscuity malt taste with sweet orange citrus bitterness with some warming alcohol. Slightly oily mouth feel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, some residual sweetness through to a dry bitter finish. Quite OK IPA.

Bottle from Mane Liquor, Perth. Deep amber with a slight haze and decent, tight off-whitehead. Aroma of citrus fruits, floral hops and cereal malts. Flavour was much the same, with a touch of sweetness to the fruit and dry finish. Good.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Reddish amber pour, quite frothy and that lace clings to the side of the glass. Spicy aroma which really sets the scene for what's coming right behind it! Quite a malty taste, but then the spice and pepper from the dry hops totally takes over and dominates this beer. Slight citrus overtones in the aftertaste, but make no mistake about it, this beer is all about the hops and is packed full of spice which might not be to everyone's taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From a 330ml bottle on 7/5/2011. Pours a cloudy orange amber, with a modest head. Has a pleasant citrus pine aroma, with some toffee and floral notes.The flavours include grapefruit, orange, marmalade, caramel and toffee. This is nice and hoppy, like any good IPA should be, with the quite firm, lingering bitterness. A very good, well made beer.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of matl, caramel, and alcohol, as well as light notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, as well as a light note of fruits, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a clear dark amber with a smallish off-white head. Fat but not overly complex hop aroma with some caramel. Medium body, sweet caramel with an ashy touch. Good hoppy finish, the hops just ain’t that aromatic. 021110

Bottle. Clear tawny amber with no head. Subtle but pleasant aroma of floral hops and sweet malt. Beautiful mouthfeel: velvety carbonation with medium body. Excellent taste with tangy foretaste (peaches?) leading through a rich taste with caramel and raisin to a nice long, but not too intense, bitter finish. Overall, a very good beer.
