Aug 26, 2007 Piney beyond belief - which is alright by me. Very hoppy - crisp clean acidic hop presence. The malt base is sweet but pretty thin considering the sharp hop bite and seems a bit soapy. Would like to try this aged or casked.

Aug 21, 2007 Not sure who shared this one at Mullman’s gathering. This was a tough one as I had just drank some pretty strong and hoppy american strong ales before this. Anyway, poured a light orange in color with a small to medium off white head. Aroma was quite fruity, with grapefruit and pineapple and some caramel malts way in the back. Taste was also quite hoppy, with alot of grapefruit/pineapple specifically simcoe hops. Malt backbone is good enough to backup the hops, body is light to medium with a moderate amount of bitterness for a single IPA. Overall, very clean and well refined. A pretty nice one that I would drink again if I had the opportunity.

Aug 16, 2007 Updated: Aug 20, 2007darn solid ipa. wonderful smell, beautiful looking. big sky is probably a second tier craft brewer, which means they are better than widmer but not as good as stone. also means they are darn good, and since they are more accessible than stone, they are a favorite brewer.

Jul 30, 2007 THANK YOU SANTA!!!!! Poured from bottle. Beautiful coppery amber color with nice bubbles of carbonation. Good looking head with nice lacing and staying power. Sweet aroma of pine and grapefruit...smells very fresh. Nice flavor, again citrus note here, very nice bitterness in this one. Sweet but not too sweet. The flavor stays for a long time. Nice brew....

Jul 29, 2007 Bottle. Fruity aroma with some traces of pine and hops. Malt sweetness with much hoppiness like a good IPA. Lingering hop finish with a bit of metal for which a demerit. Overall a drinkeable IPA.

Jul 27, 2007 Draft at the brewery on 7/17/07. Clear copper with a yellowish tan head, pretty nice looking. An assertive fresh pine aroma with some floral notes is very inviting. Medium body and carbonation and a resinous quality that was not unexpected given the hoppy aroma. Background malt is quickly overcome by a grapefruit bitterness in a lengthy, very dry finish.

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours copper, medium off-white head w/ lacing. Aroma is very fruity - light passionfruit, oranges, raspberry and some pear. Flavor is fruity hops - grapefruit, strawberry and a hint of lemon - with some tofee malt character balancing the hops. Full, creamy palate.
