Sampled on draft at the brewery as well and remembered thinking ’too much hops and not balanced at all’ The bottle i just sampled changed my mind. Crystal clear orange amber with fair eggshell head. Aroma of corn and hops. Flavor is bitter hops but not horrably overpowering. This bottle is a little old so maybe the hops have mellowed a bit. Medium-thin mouthfeel. Decent, but i’ll still pick up something else over this.

golden orange with white head. mild carbonation. flavor is mild on the pale malt and strong on the hop bitterness and flavor. the bitterness is a little overpowering and can be too much for this beer leaving a acrid finish

Loved it when I had it in the bottle, so I replaced Two-Hearted withFull Nelson. Not the same beer. I thought they sent me a mis-labeled keg. Brewery has GREAT potential, but they are not consistent.

bottle thanks to my wife for getting it on a business trip. poured a medium amber in color with good steady carbonation and a one finger head that left sticky froth down the glass. aroma has malt, spiced fresh hops, and some earthy notes. flavor is a nice balance of sweetness, sharp hops, malt, and caramel. mouth feel is medium and fits it well with plenty of carbonation. light citrus peel creeps in mixing with the bitterness in the finish. very pleasant and fresh tasting.

This beer has a hoppy, Cascade aroma with some malt. The flavor is real hoppy and the Cascade flavor comes through big time. The beer is not unbalanced though and the malt makes up the background. This beer reminds me of New River Pale Ale. They are both delicious.

12oz bottle. pours clear golden with white head. a nice noble hop nose, leathery, spicy, hoppy and bit piney. flavors are much of the same, very east coast style ipa, lots of saaz hop flavor. tasty ipa but dont expect a PNW hop bomb.

not the aroma I was anticipating .... malts and cardboard .... taste is better with a lightly sweet start ... bitter in the middle and finish .... hoppy but stale ... bottle is enjoy by 06 2008 , so I know its fresh ... passable IPA but not exceptional ... good beer but not that good in this style, I’m thinking its an American Pale Ale

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with white head. Aroma malt and light hops. Taste great balance of malt and citrus hops with bitter finish. Very good everyday drinker. More of a APA then a IPA
