Oct 30, 2003 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.

Nov 10, 2004 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.

Nov 22, 2004 On tap at the brewery. Orange red color when I held the sampler glass up to the light. Foamy off white head. Strong hop nose of grapefruit rind and pine forest. The initial sip is met with a hop burn on the tongue. Apple sauce and orange rind flavors with a long lingering citrus hop finish. This is a good PNW style IPA.

Mar 18, 2005 Sparkling orange, fluffy white head. Nose was quite piney, with hints of white grapefruit, orange zest, and light florals throughout. Taste practically matched aroma. Balance fell more to the hops side and basically was the name of the game here. Only a hint of sweet malt in the background. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy finish. A nice drinkable APA to get your hop fix on...

Sep 22, 2003 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?

Nov 21, 2004 Tap. Medium amber color with reddish hues. Great flowery hop nose. Good balance between malt and hop in the taste. On the shy side of medium bodied. Smooth palate.

Mar 1, 2005 pours darker then most pale ales, with a nice thick head. has some fruity tastes to it, gives a hint of tartness then bales out to a more sweet after taste that sticks to the sides of your mouth
