leems (57), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 19, 2009 On tap @ Moon & Sixpence. Deep red with a medium white bubbly head. Great aroma of citrus hops and toasted malts. The flavor is tangy malt and citrus hops. I can drink a lot of this beer, it’s very pleasant on the palate and nicely balanced. troopie (723), USA May 3, 2009 Draught. Poured iron ore red with thin white head, much lacing. Slight but pleasant aroma of hop, a little citrus a little pine. Medium hoppy flavour, somewhite like an IPA, but restrained. Thing hop finish. Perhaps it was two cold, perhaps it is me, perhaps this ale was trying to be a pale and an India Pale at the same time. Beardface (772), Eugene, Oregon, USA Apr 10, 2009 On tap at the Horse Brass. Gorgeous red pour with a medium white head. Well balanced aroma and flavor with a nice citrus hop profile and a touch more malt than typical in an IPA. Very sweet finish. alexanderj (1974), San Diego, California, USA Apr 5, 2009 On tap at Double Mountain in Hood River. Amberish/red in color. Aroma of citrus, wood/mesquite/earth, with some caramel and something akin to BO. Definitely can taste the simcoe in the flavor. That being said it did have some nice balance to it. Good beer. stchloe (406), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 7, 2009 A reddish IPA, lots of toasted barley. Malts are weak but help round out the hop. Almost dry hop floral. ndubs360 (114), portland, Oregon, USA Feb 2, 2009 My staple at Cassidy’s in Portland after a long night of line cooking. Pours a deep red color with a large puffy white head. Aroma of hops, green apple, and grapefruit. the roasted malts subdue the hop profile slightly which is nice because hops can be loud sometimes. overall a well balanced and great beer. mj (4728), Colorado, USA Dec 29, 2008 Draft @ Double Mountain in Hood River. Cloudy rust colored body. Creamy sour and prickly red grapefruit, wood and nuts in the nose and front of the tongue, along with a touch of faintly sweet caramel. Hearty and full and rich. Tangy/spicy/oily/resinous. Wow. Wonderfully explosive resinous hops, amazingly fresh tasting. A masterful beer. anders37 (3951), Malmö, Sweden Dec 15, 2008 Draft at the taproom. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy caramel flavor with grapefruit hints. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish.
