Commercial Description:
Just shy of an Imperial IPA, this dry hopped beer is soon to become a favorite for American hop-heads. Low to moderate malt character blends nicely with the combination of Chinook, Centennial and Cascade hops. ABV 7.0%

On tap: Aroma is rather weak. Only faint hops. Was at the brewery so outside influences could have interfered with the aroma. Pours a dark amber with a little white head. Rather weak initial taste. Lightly malty but very watery. However great hop finish with lots of citrus.

Orangeish in color and a decent white head. Sweet aroma with hops and fruits what I took to be cherries. Sweet taste initally but then the hops tool over. A mainly grapefruit taste after the sweet start. This could hold its own with some of the big boys of the style.

Popurs light amber with mild white head. Nose of orange, citrusy, hoppy notes. Body is slightly malty with caramel flavors. Crisp clean finish.

Tap. Recommended to me by someone I was talking with at the bar. Wow, I would have never thought to try this. Not your typical APA, not a typical pale ale for that matter. Pours a nice deep straw color, decent foamy white head. Smells nice and hoppy. Beer has a wonderful, big juicy taste. A while since I've had a fresh beer that was not dry. Lots of oranges with some sweet grapefruit and a nice crisp hops bite. Medium to full body. Has a lightly dry caramel malt that adds a wonderful balance. Again, great texture and good body really make this excellent.

Beautiful copper color with a thin off white head. Caramelly and hoppy nose. Wow, excellent hops in the nose, very fresh and citrusy. Clean first sip and nice full mouthfeel, great balance here!!! Caramelly malts and bountiful hops. Maybe my favorite beer here. Listed everywhere but on the website... is this a secret?
