My first beer from this brewer - brought to the January 2012 3R6P tasting. +++Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy vibrant golden color with a medium sized foamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was a touch musty with moderate citrus and pepper and a chamomile presence. The flavor was floral and herbal with a chamomile note and notes of tangy and sweet bread and an earthy undertone. The finish was long and tangy with citrus and chamomile lingering. Surprisingly full bodied. Solid.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks beerandbeyond. Hazy dark orange-amber color with a white head. Aroma of malt and resinous and slightly citric stale hops. Flavor starts sweetish and malty and finishes with strong bitterness and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Seems kinda old.

Bottle from Kris Wines, London. Shared with Slothez. My 1400th rate. Great looking bottle that poured a slightly hazy amber colour with a decent lingering white head. Lovely fragrant resinous hops set the nostrils a twitchin’ in tandem with notes of tropical fruit, citrus and sweet malts. Flavour had tasty fruit notes and belting hop bitterness that struck all the right notes on the palate. Soft, smooth mouthfeel that was wonderfully easy to drink and left you craving another sip as every good beer should. This is an IPA right up my street, and one that I would happily be shipwrecked on a desert island with a case of.
