Commercial Description:
This big, rich IPA features Simcoe hops which give it both a fruity, piney hop nose and a clean, ringing bitterness. IN-between, the malt flavor is slightly caramel for a touch of malt sweetness. This IPA is well-balanced and very expressive with hops.

Slightly cloudy, but mostly clear. Deep burnt amber color. Biscuit head. Strong resinous pine flavor. A decent earthy IPA.

Tasted 9/21/07. 12oz bottle. Clear with a deep amber hue. Layer of bone white head. Decent hop nose. Nuances of bright red fruit, oranges and a touch spicy and piney. Medium bodied and well blended. Long bitter hop finish. Spicy and slightly peppery. Nice hop blend. Mild bready malts. Smooth rolling transition until the very end when it exploades bitterness across the tongue. Slightly sour, off-putting note. Almost dirty mop water. Is that too negative? More so an earthy hop flavor. But still nice.

Clear, bright copper with a thin, fine head. Full gamut of hops aromas--citrus, pine, spice, and earth--all in measured, subdued amounts with some underlying grainy characteristics. All this is duplicated in the flavor without much dimension. Clean, medium body, fairly well-balanced with a fine finish.

From a 12-oz. bottle--Wow! what a surprise hit! Poured a copper-orange body with a decent white fluffy head. Big notes of floral hops, pininess and delectable "it" quality. Fresh, clean, and crisp. A real treat of an IPA brewed in the PNW style.

Amber to orange colour with a whit-ish head. The aroma is of maltyness and hops. The flavor is hoppy in a nice balance with the malt backbone and the aftertaste is somewhat bitter and a bit grassy.

12oz Bottle Pours out a nice amber topped with a great off white head. Very nice aroma of hops along with some sweetness. (maybe like a dry hop) Tast is once again nice hops a little bitter. A nice IPA from MT
