Dis shit rocks!!! Nice deep amber color. Citrus and floral aroma leaves you dizzy. Tons of hops makes this the best beer from Washington I have had. LOVE IT.

Tasted @ the Uber Tavern in Seattle.
Copper colored brew. Sweet malty aroma with some hops. Very floral, hoppy and some sweet fruits. Some bitterness.

My notes emphasize the word "traditional." My recollection is that this one kicked all the other IPAs’ butt that night. Nice and hoppy.

Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, some toasted malt, and fruity floral hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, toasted malt, and a bitter floral finish.

Appearance: Pours a medium amber body with a thin, white head. Smell: Pungent grapefruit and floral aroma with some notes of caramel. Taste: Sugary sweet caramel malts. Citrusy grapefruit taste kicks in. Some flowers. Moderate bitterness. Peppery alcohol taste on the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A decent Double IPA.
