Jul 3, 2008 Pours transparent golden with typical white head that lasts a while. Aroma is fruity citrus hops. Flavor is typical Northwest hops along with nicely dry and bitter finish. Nice malt backbone. Not a strong IPA by any means, but quite drinkable like a strong pale ale. I would buy again.

Jul 3, 2008 Bronze gold with clean whiffs of PNW hops and a similarly clean, crisp palate of fresh hops with perhaps some Chinook bitterness that is enjoyable on the finish. Not as good as their ESB, but this is a very solid and drinkable APA/IPA.

Jul 3, 2008 6/10/08 From the bottle. Aroma is almost malt forward, and more surprisingly, has an underlying acetalhyde fusel note? Appearance is clear gold with a medium maintained white head. The flavor is grassy hops forward, metallic, starchy, with very low malt character for zero balace initially that does get slightly better as the brew warms. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate carb feel. Overall, this is just too harsh initially across the board, and the higher alcohol tone is way out of line, even for an IIPA. For 6.2%, it’s just plain flawed.

Jun 23, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent gold color with a big white head. The aroma is mildly hoppy with clean citrus notes. The flavor is a bit mild for an IPA (at least compared to the CA IPA’s). There is grapefruit, pine and caramel. The mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side at least to my expectations. The finish is long with lingering biter hops. Overall: Fairly ordinary IPA, not up to extreme session standards.

Jun 22, 2008 Updated: Apr 26, 2009classic IPA with a gold color and a hoppy aroma and taste. Nothing special sticks out either good or bad. Kinda thin.

Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 15, 2009Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured a clear golden color with a moderate white head that faded to a ring. Aroma of subdued earthy hops with some light pine. Lightly tart, citric entry leads into a moderately bitter, earthy hop hit with some lingering bitterness in the finish. Pretty nice mouthfeel, could have been a bit more aggressive though. Overall, solid.
