Commercial Description:
Not for the faint of heart. A light colored American style India Pale Ale. Very bitter! This Strong Ale gets it's grape fruit like bitterness from hearty amounts of Chinook hops. For Hop heads only! Chinook, Columbus, Cascade, Centennial hops. Crisp Maris Otter malt. OG 1.068.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear copper with a lacy white head. Aroma of citrus, resin, and the weed that is the cousin of the hop. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Sweet taste that follows the nose.

On tap at brewery in Hood River--Poured a bright copper-amber body. Small wispy white head. Earthy, floral and bitter hops. Not a lot of big hops presence, but like most of their beers, highly drinkable. Nothing to write home about, but well constructed.

Tap at their brewpub... Poured orange with a thin white head. Floral hop aroma. Dry palate with lots of bubbles on the tongue. Flavors of crisp hops and mellow malt to balance, followed by a slight toffee aftertaste. Very straight forward and what you’d want for an IPA.

On tap at the brewery. Big grapefruit flavor, over a very floral ipa. Bitter finish, mild on the malts but a bit doughy, let the hops shine. Solid ipa, a lot of small pubs go for the milder ipa, this place doesn’t hold back.

Hazy amber colour. Woody, citric, tangerine, orange, old orchard wood...oh yeah this is PNW IPA...the food of the gods. Minimal malt for balance, a testament to the hop. Chinook = the shit.
