Martin the MildmanExcellent20 Oct 2012 Superbly hoppy and citrussy strong pale ale. Good malt balance too giving a full bodied smooth mouthfeel. Long, hoppy finish. My score 16/20.

Stephen HarrisExceptional10 Oct 2012 Possibly the best of this year’s big haul of green-hopped beers that I have tried so far. Big and bold and hoppy.

thebrewingmanExcellent27 Oct 2011 The Simcoe hops provide a good aromatic background and the green Target hops give it some welly.

BrianExceptional20 Nov 2010 Amazing. What 5 stars is meant for. The huge hit of drowsy hop is stunning, almost physically. Fruity but sharp and refreshing and drinkable for a 6.5%.

IanExcellent13 Nov 2010 It has settled down a bit since having it first time a couple of weeks ago but it still has a little bit of syrup to it. Hop is lovely but this is a sipper of a beer as Andrew would say.

IanGood01 Nov 2010 The Simcoe IPA as a base with Green Hops as well. I found this a bit more syrupy in the mouth and the Target hops made it very bitter on the finish.
