Nov 26, 2008 From what I assume is a fresh bottling as this was the first bomber of this brew in my local Fred Meyer. Pours amber with a good sized head. A fair amount of lacings. Nice floral hop aroma. Taste is bitter citrus hops with a minor malt sweetnes. A very simple IPA that compares well to the Henry Weinhards’ IPA brewed by Full Sail. Definately second-tier but not bad. Would be better at about a buck less in price.

Oct 26, 2008 I thought this IPA found it’s niche. It’s maltier than most other IPA’s, but still nicely balanced. Overall, a nice drinkable, value-priced IPA.

Sep 3, 2008 Not a bad beer but tastes more like an amber than an IPA. Much sweeter than most IPAs but still a bitter finish. I would prefer a little more hops and a little less malt. I noticed no ABV is available but I would say a little lower than your average IPA probably about 5.5%

Jul 13, 2008 From bottle. Had several of these from a six pack on a vacation in the Northwest. This was one of the worst IPAs I’ve had in quite a while (but we were also drinking Lagunitas, Stone, etc., so it obviously pales in comparison). Choked down the first one. Tasted like fat tire or something. Oddly astringent and acidic. Had my friend try one. He choked down half and drainpoured the rest. I tried a couple more later just to see if it was really that bad, and yep, it was, to an IPA fan at least. May have been a bad six-pack??

Jul 4, 2008 Not a bad IPA. Good aroma, but tastes a little bitter in a bad way. I am wondering if I a bad/old bottle. Might have to try it again in the future.
