Aug 16, 2004 Cloudy and amber-orange. Mild to medium carbonation. Smooth and very drinkable. Fresh dough aromas. Bready and yeasty flavors and esters swirl about. Great balance. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Great aftertaste, with lingering flavors of cookie dough and pine. One tasty IPA.

Aug 11, 2004 Just a stunningly good example of an English IPA. Have to admit, I primarily drink the Industrial IPA, but this beer is an absolute top shelf example of the style.

Incredible musty and grainy sour hop aroma... nice, but a little one dimensional aroma. Thinner ody than expected, decent sweet flavor, a little pale, need to have a deeper hop presence, but what is there in a piney and musty wood flavor is nice.
Rating confirmed during visit to brewery in 2009. Numbers remain the same.

Orange colors, sticky white head, light lacing. Aroma is fresh with cascade, earthy Columbus, total aroma/dry hopping here. The flavor is balanced, light bitterness & sweet gold. The finish is creamy, toasty. DELICIOUS!

Jul 27, 2004 I could drink this beer all day, never getting tired of it. Cloudy amber body with floaties; off-white head that leaves lovely lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some caramel. Medium-full body, light chewiness. The bitterness is moderate but does not linger. Lovely beer -- doesn’t try to do too much, focusing on flavor rather than hitting you over the head. Too bad more PNW brewers don’t take this route.
