Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear amber body with a lumpy super bubbly foamy head, some light lacing.
The smell had hops, pine, malts.
The taste was bittersweet through the pine, and hops, subdued malts.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light, watery, sessionable, no aftertaste, malty finish.
Overall, it was decent for the style, but I’m unsure if I would pursue this again.

12 oz. bottle in a four pack from Grays Beverage. Over-carbonated. Had to pour extremely slow and wait as the head died to pour the other 6 oz. of beer from the bottle. Well, the retention last for a good while. Hazy copper in color. Aroma has sweet citrus, caramel and honey. Lots of malt at the back end, not finding much in the way of hops or bitterness. Lots of biscuit, bread malts. The body is medium with a smooth texture. Very sweet and more like a Pale Ale then an IPA or I had some old stuff. Either way it is much better than I thought it would be.

Cask at GBBF. Clear brown beer. Semi dry and semi soft palate. Rich hops. Not too bitter. Well balanced with some rich malt. Tasty and full of flavour but not in your face.

A mahoganny amber IPA with a thick lacing mocha head. In aroma, smooth floral hops with clover field, biscuit malt, and light honey notes. In mouth, a smooth biscuit malt with vinous notes, nice floral hops with grapefruit notes, very classic. Shared with GRM. BB March 2010.

tap at Portland location - Pours lightly hazy copper and has a citrus hop aroma. The flavor features good bitterness and sweet malt along with a bit of herbal character. Good IPA.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. Belgian aroma. Hop on aroma too. Out of condition. Harsh and sour. Not in good condition after long journey from the States.

Draught at the brewpub. Mild grassy hop aroma. Hazy amber colour. Herbal hop flavour. Paper aftertaste. Dodgy.

Crisp, very slightly hazy amber coloured body with a copper glow and a nice dense tan head - this is what an IPA should look like! Aroma of fresh hops, relatively low a.a., a dose of caramel, honey, light malt and a touch of alcohol - not too potent. Medium-bodied; Assertive bitterness, but the hops don’t show much at all. Light flavours of malt and caramel come through, but the hops aren’t bright or assertive at all. Aftertaste is mild as well with some light piney flavours coming and a touch of honey, but an alcohol finish and a very light bitterness is all that’s left. Overall, a nice looking and smelling beer, but the taste just isn’t there and there aren’t any complexities or anything that lingers at all. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 04-September-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 28-September-2010.

From cask. Pours hazy dark orange with a small off-white head. Dry brett and hoppy aroma. Bitter and bone dry flavoured. Citrusy and brett. Dry wooden finish. Strange,not sure the cask has done this one much good.
