Aroma is hoppy - I say floral and citrus. Golden amber color with a white head that filmed and left lacey tatters. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Floral, citrusy fruity hop. The malt is hardly in it - but call it light caramel. The finish is so nicely bitter, with floral, fruit, pine and a small hit of citrus. This is way underrated. Trust me. Minor point: can light pine resemble floral/citrus? I’m torn on that. Bottom line: good stuff.

Aug 19, 2008 From a 220z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is pineapple and some citrus. Color is a clear gold with a half inch white head. Bitter with some toasty malt. A touch of malty sweetness, but only a little. Hop flavor is earthy and a little piney. Carbonation may be a touch too much, a little CO2 bite. Clean and dry with a little lingering bitterness and hop flavor. Not bad over all.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle at Paley’s Place, Portland. Beautiful tawny tan colour. Aroma of creamed caramel, malts and corn. Smooth mouthfeel showcasing exquisite balance in it’s flavour. The slight bitter hint in the finish is excellent. A true classic IPA owing more to the UK style than monster hop bombs.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle from Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. This IPA was not as piney or fruity as I’m used to. The citrus tasted a cross between lemons and limes with a little floral. Also, it was reasonably malty.

Aug 7, 2008 From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Peachy and grapefruity hops aroma. Smooth and crisp hops flavour of the same. This keeps lingering into a lovely fruity hops finish. Very smooth flavourwise!
