Commercial Description:
Brewed with the finest organic malts and hops, our IPA features a bright-minted copper color and a crisp, yet smooth hop bitterness. Pale and crystal malts come through with a malty caramel sweetness, balanced with aggressively clean burst of fresh hop flavor in the middle palate without lingering bitter astringency. A strong floral and citrus character from generous dryhopping blends with strawberry esters from our house yeast strain for an inviting and satiating aroma.

Found a sixpack of this in a little mom & pop store along the "Avenue of the Giants" in the redwood forest of northern CA. From a 12-oz. bottle, this pours a clear ruby-amber with a nice initial, off-white head. Good lacing. Fairly strong malty & citrusy aroma. Good caramelly malt base with a nice whack of hops in the foreground as well. Some fruitiness shines through. Lingering hoppy follow-through. The hops are different than the usual northwest cascade variety; quite refreshing. Lovely beer.

This is a nice thick IPA that pours amber with a decent head. It smells sweet and it ends bitter on the palate. I’m not even sure it has any effect but it’s the better of the organic brews I have had.

Looks great - solid, cloudy amber body with a billowing white head. A tad bland in flavor; a little sweet with a little citrus and mild pine. Very tame but very drinkable.

Large off white head of medium sized bubbles. Thick sheet of sticky lacing. Cloudy copper in color. Floral hops aroma with some bitter tea and some pencil shavings. Light roasty flavor. Gritty palate. More bitter hops and some dry roasted peanut skins. Lingering bitterness and grapefruit juice. Little bit of caramel malts. Alcohol is hidden very well. A decent IPA.

Small, yellowish head over amber beer. Sweetish nose, bit of lytchee, very discreet nose. Fleeting S-component. Bitterish, but not really hoppy, more woody. Bit of alcohol, if not sweet. Medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Decent but unexciting IPA. Typically organic, I’d say. Thanks, CK!

Amber color. Smell of grainy hops, citrus, malt, caramel and grass. Taste of grains, hops, pine, grass, caramel, alcohol and malt.

12oz bottle, new to my state, so it should be very fresh. Clear orange with a medium head. Aroma is caramel, bitter and medicinal hops. This stuff is weird, to put it mildly. I get a strange baked bean flavor, followed by some fruity/floral notes. It’s really not good. I can’t believe these guys make one of my favorites; Raven’s Eye.
