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?

Sep 7, 2004 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.

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.

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.

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.
