Bottle. A hazy orange golden beer with a medium sized off-white to beige head. Sweetish on the nose, but mostly hoppy, with piney and resiny aromas doing most of the work. The flavor has a nice bitterness with resin and pine, but also a good malty sweetness. Full-bodied and almost astringent. Lasting, bitter finish. Quite lovely. (080708)

Bottle, 8.5%, batch #108. Caramelly and grassy hop aroma. Quite cloudy orange and dark amber colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off quite sweet with a full mouthfeel. There is a distinct citric note from the hops, getting close to sour. Quite low carbonation. Not my understanding of an IPA, and sourish, but I rather like it.

Bottle. Creamy white fair mostly deminishing head. Ugly exstremely cloudy orange colour. Moderate malty and hopy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average bitter finish. Oily palate. No way this is an imperial IPA. More like lefthand brew. Really disapointing.
