Bottle. Pours amber/otange, wit a huge head. Aroma is hops, caramel, and malt. Flavor is hops and malt. I decent enouigh ale, but certainly not special.

Very good pale ale. Not so pale pour though Dark amber with a creamy head. Aroma of malt sweetness, maybe caramel. Flavor is malty then very bitter. Nice balance. Very dry finish. The best I’ve had from this brewery.

Draft: Woody caramel and dandelion bouquet. Clear orange pour, medium yellow head and excellent lacing. Thin-medium body tasting of generic creamy bitterness. Woody finish. Nice beer and an IPA more of the English variety than American.

Bottle->shaker: pours a large head that exhibits spare lacing atop a clear amber body. Aroma of molasses, grain, and perfume. The body is full, texture alcoholic, with soft carbonation, and finishing astringently. The flavor’s duration is long, being moderately acidic and heavily bitter. Very nice beer--I appreciate it primarily because of it’s being full-bodied w/o being too heavy on the palate.

Draft. Pours an orangish gold with an off-white head. Nose is mostly hops with strong pine and floral notes. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. More floral notes on the palate, a decent malt backbone, and some resin thrown in too. Medium finish with some lingering bitterness on the tongue. It’s leaves great lacing on the glass. Definitely a good pale ale and one of their top beers, but it is more of an APA than an IPA in my mind.

Bottle sampled on 5/22/08: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malts and some mild citrusy hops. Body starts semi-sweet and slightly grapefruity hoppy with a crisp, drier bittersweet finish. Needs more fullness and hop aroma.

12oz bottle. Clear gold/copper pour with a big white head. A whole lot of grainy malt with some hops. Malty flavor with a bit hop and very thin. I had this before and loved it, so this is definitely an old bottle. The beer thinned out in addition to the hops diminishing. Will re-rate if I can ever get my hands on this again. It really is a good beer when fresh.
