Commercial Description:
A pale ale hopped to the extreme! This beer starts out as a nice pale ale until it reaches the kettle. Throughout the course of the 90 minute boil four massive hop additions are made which transform this beer into a hop-head's dream come true. Both Chinook and Tomahawk hops from the Yakima valley are added in extreme quantities for the maximum bitterness, flavor and aroma.

2008-04-18. Lightly hazy dark amber with a good sized fluffy white head, some lacing. (3+) Light hoppy aroma with muted note of feet and light resin. Moderate bitterness in the flavour, resiny bitterness grows in the finish and borders on astringency at times. Average palate. Just okay, the hops are bitter without adding the complexity and delicateness I had hoped for. Shows potential but does not follow through. Bottle from Karen’s Seattle Trip

Bottle. Pours very nice, cloudy golden yellow with big dense head and great lacing. Noise is okay, hops, pin, a bit of malt and citrus. Taste is fruity and malty sweet, not what i want in an IPA really. finishes okay.

Its most impressive characteristic is, without doubt, its appearance. It all goes down hill from there. Nice 2-inch fluffy white head and burnt orange color. Decent carbonation. Flavor is overly bittered and lingers on the palate. There isn’t anything to add balance.

This one poured a copper colorwith a faint perfume and orange aroma. The flavor is rather malty for an IPA with just a hint of bitterness. Some oranges and lemons in the flavor. Overall nothing wrong with it but nothing to make you hoop and holler. I will also refrain from "dick" jokes
