Fabulously well blended aroma of toffee, pine, and cedar, moderately strong. Clear dark golden pour with a thick pale yellow head, fair retention, good lacing. Stinging mouthfeel, very distracting. Metallic and generic bitter flavor. Copper finish. The aromatic hops are wonderful but set the bar too high.

12 oz bottle. Pours a brown color with a small whitish head. Aroma is malt sweetness, with touches of roasted flavors and a nice, solid hop touches! Flavor is a interesting mix of hoppy flavor with the strength of brown ale.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear deep golden, brief head. Doughy malt comes through already in the aroma. Grapefruity hops compliment it well. Sweet and fruity with full body and pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Strong flavour of toffee, sugar and grapefruit. Powerful but balanced bitterness.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Deep copper colour, mid-sized coarse head. Tpasty with plenty of orangey hops. Dry with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Dusty orangey hops grow in intensity to bring immense bitterness. Conbines roasty malt with citrusy hops really well.

Overall Impression: A pretty nice IPA. It has the citrus and floral characteristics for sure, some nice spice and caramel malts there as well for the balance. I had this one down as a nice example of the style for sure.

Location: Updating this rating with a 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 11/15/09
Aroma: A light and pleasant aroma of citrus, pine, resin, and yeast
Appearance: Pours a hazy copper-brown color with a fluffy light brown head that leaves lots of lace on the glass
Flavor: The flavor is has a nice hop bitterness with a classic malt feel for balance
Palate: An easy drinking beer with a medium body, but too short a duration
Overall Impression: I had this one rated decently, but maybe a drop low, so I bumped it up a bit (Ap: 3 to 4; OI: 12 to 13 - Total 3.1 to 3.3). Otherwise it is a nice enough beer, I think it could use a bit more depth in all aspects, particularly duration, but for a nice session beer you really wouldn't go wrong drinking this one.
Location: Old rating from a 12 oz bottle from a trip to Denver Fall '07
Overall Impression: I remember enjoying this beer. Have it down as a really solid Pale, nice hoppiness and malt balance. Tasty brew. (Old rating was a 3.1)
