Sep 2, 2008 On draught at the brewpub in Mukilteo, Washington. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing and a thin white ring. Aroma of mostly citrus and piney hops with a touch of caramel and biscuit malts. Taste is mildly bitter, medium bodied, with flavors of light caramel malt with a distinct heavy grapefruit and tangerine fruit and zest. Finish has a long lasting bitterness that lingers a while after the finish. Not overly high in alcohol but still a decent west coast caliper IPA.

Aug 21, 2008 Growler from RiversideAK. Thanks Alex! Pours golden amber with a small white head and nice sticky lacing. Already got one pour out of this last night and the head is still retained very nicely. Im Impressed. Nose is fresh and hoppy, but it’s a bit muted. Flavor is spicy hops, some floral characteristics, a bit of bready malts. An easy drinking ipa, but I felt it could have packed the punch a little bit more. Well balanced overall with alcohol well hidden. Very sessionable, I will probably finish this growler tonight.

Aug 16, 2008 On draft at brewpub. Arrived a slightly hazed medium amber with a small to medium head that left stringy lacing. Aroma is rich with fruity and floral notes, caramel and toffee, well balanced with fragrant citrus and evergreen. Flavor is toasty and toffee, with a brash bitterness, more evergreen, grapefruit rind, and lingering bitter herbals and florals, with a bit of earth. Medium body, gentle carbonation.

does not count  Aug 1, 2008 I was unimpressed by the all the hops, and found it a little watery. But then, IPAs are not really my taste. A very good IPA, for what its worth.
