Hops, and lots of them! Bitterness with tropical, citrusy and piney notes that is balanced by a malty backbone.

(Can - 6.0%, down from reviews of six years ago) Pours slightly hazy amber with big white head. Great aroma - pine and biscuity malt. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Taste like the aroma. Plenty of resinous hops of a nice biscuit malt base. Nice bitter finish.

Bottle from Marks & Spencer, Halifax. Golden-amber with a haze to it. Has a deeper tasting hoppy-fruitiness, somewhat subdued by its strength, but equally its strength is not a huge factor in its taste.

Pours a hazy orange amber colour with a small thick near white head. A sweet orange marmalade and piney hop aroma. Quite a sweet fruity taste, orange marmalade, caramel, malt and a moderate piney bitter finish. Quite nice.

Bottle from Marks and Spencer, Rickmansworth, Herts. A dark golden coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus, pine aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, malty, citrus, pine. Very nice IPA from our friends in Australia, will buy some more of this.

Bottle 330ml. Clear dark-golden colour with big white-grey head, good lacing. Aroma is delicate with pine note, a ittle bit sweet like candy, quite nice. Malty in taste with medium bitterness, a little bit astringent, not nice overall. There is more malty than bitter character in this beer. The body is smooth with toast, candy, semisweet notes but there is no power of hops as I expected. Average ipa.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear copper colour with a long-lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp refreshing fruity, hop bitter, light pine needle palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Served too cold but the flavour came though as it warmed up.
