On tap at Calapooia in Albany, Oregon--Poured a orange-sienna body with a wispy, beige, filmy head. Nose of fruity, citrusy grapefruit hops and sticky malts. Grainy and spicy. Big earthy, piny, resinous finish. Yum!

Tap... Poured an unfiltered burnt orange with a thin white head. I typically like the look of unfiltered beers, but the head diminished so quickly to nothing I had to rate its appearance lower. Sharp, hop and grain aroma. Great texture in the mouth and a punch of hops with a very earthy/piney presence. Tasted great.

on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is mild citrus hops, yeast?, secondary medium malt. Taste is citrus hops/grapefruit/flat hops-some bitter, secondary medium malt.

On tap at the brewpub. I think it might just be me, but Chinook hops smell like cat pee, and this was loaded with them. Pours light orange with a soft white head. Heavy citrus grapefruit hop flavor finishing more towards the pine side. I liked the flavor of the IPA, but the chinook aroma just bugs me.

draft @ brewpub - pours a nice amber with slight head; as expected, a great smelling NW IPA with just a tad less on the flavor; a very decent IPA though
