Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a medium amber color ale with a nice foamy head with slightly better then average retention. Aroma consists of medium bitter hops with some very subtle citrus flavour. Taste is a mix between some caramel malt with some medium bitter and citrus hops. Body is about average with some medium carbonation. I was expecting a hop bomb based on the description of the beer which mentions triple hops IPA and it seems I got a light IPA.

Good amberish bread over clear red-amber beer. Hops (surprise), cake and hopscake (instead of space-?) grapey, grapefruit, zeste. Bitterish-hoppy flavour imposed upon a rather dull red ale. Quite slick & viscous, (hop)oily. A massive dose of C-hops don’t make for a great beer, please. Thanks to Joss for the series.

Red shine and near-black beer under a grey-amber head. Hops and coffee. It’s nearly Danish (joke, joke); dry hopdust. Chocolate & coffee. Sweet and hopflavour, rather short-lived, except for the chocolate. Quite full-bodied, long lasting chocolate. It starts very promising; but from that it gest downhill. It’s too hyped on roast and hops. Try some brewing next.

Pale amber, clear beer with a small white head. Hopburst, dry grapey hops, hop bales, hopdust, hopoily, hop...anything. Very hoppy taste (surprise, surprise,...) grapes again and again hopbales. Some dry cookies underslung. Rest is orange zeste oils. And hops. Medium bodied, and oily MF from the hopoils. A bit too typical - which does not mean bad. By any means.

Bottle. Amber, low head. Light malty and citric aroma. Lightbodied, thin malt, light citric hops redeem it slightly, perfumed aftertaste. But not terribly exiting.

On draft - Stogies and Stouts at Dunedin Brewery 02/08/07. Poured black with quarter inch creamy (not really Guinness nitro creamy) tan head. The aroma is light and a tad fruity with some roasted malts just making it to my nose. The flavor is smooth with notes of chocolate, caramel, a little black patent and some light Barleywine like fruitiness. Wow, this beer is really smooth, almost velvety. I also sense hints of alcohol that blend nicely with the rest of the flavors.
