Jan 26, 2008 Saffron colored with some chill haze. Nice 2+ fingers of eggshell head. Lacing is immense, great retention.
Smell is a bit understated, with honey soaked piney hops.
Taste is also somewhat light. Malt sweetness along with some tannin-like bitterness imitates the character of honey tea. Some citrus hops are also present.
Tannic finish leads to a dryish mouthfeel. Carbonation is on the low side, which doesn’t match well with the sort of chewy body.
This is a quite tame IPA, which makes it very very drinkable.

Jan 26, 2008 12oz. Medium amber body with a slight haze and a white head. Aroma is fairly typical grass, pine, and bitter fruit. Body follows in flavors with good grapefruit, different malts and hops. Carbonation is medium, not noticeable one way or the other. Struck me as a very well balanced IPA with more complexity than some. A pleasant surprise more than anything else.

Jan 25, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 2008A really excellent IPA. Pours a straw gold color with a finger of white head. Head disappears pretty quickly, but the floral aroma is great. Flavor is strong citrusy well balanced with a rich maltiness. It’s not as aggressively hopped as some IPAs that I love, but the flavor of the hops comes through really well. Nice crisp and clear hoppy aftertaste, too. It shoots. It scores. I dig it.

Jan 19, 2008 Smells like a million other American IPAs. Tastes like a million other American IPAs with a Northwest hopface. Perfectly fine as a beer, and above-average for sure. Nice woodsy finish that might help me identify it in a lineup.

Jan 15, 2008 Very nice orange look with good offwhite head with notes of grapy and flowery armoes with following flavornotes of similar experiences. Longlasting dry and bitter finish for a very good beer for the style.

Jan 12, 2008 12.oz bottle at City Beer in SF. Pours an cloudy amber/golden color with head that dissipates guickly. Strong citrus aroma with a big dose of hop. Mouthfeel is somewhat heavier than I expected, almost thick. It was pretty amazing in the balance of flavor and aroma. This is a definate winner!

Jan 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours a clear amber hue with a nice off white head. Has a strong grapefruit aroma. Nice medium body. The taste is a strong grapefruit bitter flavor with a malt sweetness that sneaks in the back door. Finishes with a bittersweet after taste.
Very nice.2003
