Oct 23, 2002 Had at the brewpub in Centralia. This is some seriously hoppy beer!! A good over-the-top hoppy IPA. I think 1 pint of this has more hops in it than an entire case of Budmilloors. Being a hophead, I liked it. For others, this could cause hop overdose. From the beer menu at Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse ’On a hop scale of 1 - 10, this is an 11’. A fine example of an IPA that WILL ROCK YOU.
SISSIES BEWARE.. HOPHEADS PROCEDE AND ENJOY!!! (This is claimed to be 94 IBU..)

Apr 9, 2005 This is a mighty tasty IPA! Beer pours a transparent copper color with a tight and fluffy head. Aroma has sweet notes mixed with grassy oranges. Taste abounds with hops - tingy and zesty, bitter and DRY. Lemon peel and grass with a slight orange character. An interesting thing about this beer is the aroma is sweet and the flavor is profoundly bitter - it lingers nicely on the tongue. I like this beer - poo poo to those who brand this one dimensional!

Dec 5, 2003 Medium amber color,small white head that lasted for a nice amount of time.Hoppy grapefruit aroma.The taste was light malt but very well done on the hops with a nice fruity taste of grapefruit and even a slight juicy fruit gum appearance.The finish is quite good being nicely hoppy with a good bitter after taste of hops and grapefruit.This was much better then i expected and one of there better brews so far of the collection i purchased.Very much worth trying if you can get it.

Oct 30, 2002 Aroma is fruity/hoppy with a touch of yeast--very inviting...The taste: impressive layered hop attack--powerful but not strident; the fruitiness discerned in the aroma re-emerges in the finish...There is enough malt presence here for a conventional ale, but I’m not sure it is enough to balance the powerful top-end of this brew! Still, flavor carries the day here...Hopheads rejoice!

Jul 12, 2006 Bottle poured a hazy copper with a small creamy and lasting off white head. Aromas of citrus, grass, light carmel and a bit of woodsy earthiness. Palate was light bodied and dry. Flavors of orange, tangerine, light carmel and grapefruit rind with a smooth lingering bitter finish.
