Bottle. Lovely acidic, hoppy aroma, a little perfumy. Bright copper colour, unstable white head. Flavour starts off quite bitter, turning flowery and acidic and finishing with a nice bitterness. This beer is very nicely hopped on all levels.

Bottled 2004 vintage
Dark copper brown, steady small creamy brown head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy and has some toasted barley and caramel. Sticky liquerish palate. Medium to full-bodied, alcoholic. Barley wine roastiness, long bitter alcoholic finish.

Bottle. Deep golden colour. Has a nice fruity aroma of hops also hint of alcohol in the aroma. The taste is hoppy with hints of citrus. Has a bitter and warming aftertaste. A pretty good IPA.

Bottled. Dark amber, big beigish foamy head, lacing. Very citric, fruitish aroma with flowery hints. Bitter citric flavour. The following few sips gives a very winelike alcoholic feeling. Not to drink fast.

Bottled 04-05 vintage. Black opaque, brown head. Very thick beer. Weak roasted malty and chocolatish aroma. Strong flavour of alcohol and licorace. Also some caramellish and roasted hints. Too strong alcoholic taste for me. Bitter dark chocolate in finish. I wonder if something was wrong with this bottle, as no-one else has commented the alcohol taste.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear amber colour, nice creamy and quite stable head. Very bubbly carbonation. Pronounced bitterness but also aroma from the good quality hops used here. Also some underlying sweetness. Very classical and typical American IPA. And that’s no bad thing...

Bottled. Pale golden colour, small white head which disappears quickly. Fruitish hoppy nose. Weak fruity hoppy taste, with bitterness getting stronger in the finish. Leaves mouth sticky.

Bottled. Dark golden colour with decent white head. Fruitish hoppy aroma. At first caramellish sweet flavour, but turns into a nice bitter hoppy finish. Also sweet citrus in the bitterish aftertaste. One of the pearls I had at HBF 2005.
