Bottle from somewhere. This is an old rate, lost due to low word count on Ratebeer during the redesign. Was a decent IPA, shame I'll never get the full review back now!

From Feb 2006
Poured from bottle(room temp) a medium copper with a large head of foam that dissipated slowly leaving a good layer with lacing.
The smell is rather faint with some citrusy hops coming through.
The taste is also hoppy with bitter tones that aren't of citrus...maybe spruce or pine but there's some malty sweetness there as well giving it a rather balanced taste. This, for me, is a nice interpretation of an IPA and if I found it locally, I would put it on my regular rotation.
Bottom line: A very tasty IPA that may not please the die hard hop heads but worked very well for me indeed. I recommend it.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. This was never as good the pale ale in my opinion. The hops just never reached IPA levels at the time. A pretty modest IPA for IPA standards.

Very nice IPA, doesn’t wallop you over the head with hops, but you definitely know they’re there. Good character, bitter finish

The first thing i noticed was how clear this was for an IPA. had that normal IPA smells, citrus, pine, etc. taste is alright, sort of middle of the road IPA, nothing too distinctive. A good IPA but not one i will seek out again.

A gusher. Pours with a hazy amber body with and off-white, fizzy head. Aroma of floral hops and caramel. Taste is sweet then bitter. Mouthfeel is fizzy and watery.

Bottle, Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Dark orange colour, disisipating off white lingering head. Aroma of piney hops and citrus. Full bodied malty flavour jostles with nice level of hopiness. Very smooth ansd satisfying. Could drink this all night. A great session beer and a fine examlpe of the genre.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2007: Orange with a small but lasting off-white head. Pine, grapefruit, grass aroma. Sweet with a perfectly balancing bitterness. Juicy, drinkable IPA.
