I was pleasantly surprised by the two beers I had at this brewery. Poured a slightly hazy copper color with a medium head and a nice amount of lace. Aroma was slightly sweet and hoppy. Nice rich hoppy flavor with mildly sweet fruit notes, to the bitter, yet hoppy finish. I look forward to going back and trying some others.

On tap from the brewery. Had your typical hoppy smell and typical hoppy flavor but with orange and lime somewhere in there. A good IPA.

On tap at the brewpub. Aggressively carbonated yet light mouthfeel, minimum head with lace. Citrus taste is significant. This is perhaps the most drinkable of all their beers.

Cold on tap: Pours a cloudy medium orange color with a small amount of off-white bubbles. Aroma is of flowers, malt and citrus notes. Taste is of malt and lots of cascade hops with some citrus notes. Medium bodied and smooth with ample carbonation. Ending is malty and cascade hoppy. Enjoy!

sampled at the brewpub. golden/orange in color with medium carbonation. Aroma is cascade hops go figure, a moderate amount of hops in the nose with citrus and fruity (orange) notes. Taste is alot of fruity cascades with a light and lasting bitter finish. pretty nice beer although a bit one dimensional. Overall an accessible and easy drinking IPA.
