(12oz, thanks Bück Dich) Crystal clear light amber body, small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, orange/floral, grapefruit, light bread/caramel. Light-medium body. Seems more like an APA.

(Bottle) Pours a clear orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of light grapefruit and orange. Flavor of mild hops and malt with a bit watery of a mouthfeel.

Pours a transparent golden orange with a stringy-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of fresh pine and grapefruity hops with a hint of sweet caramel. Body starts with pretty good fullness and a decent malty sweetness with some resiny bittering and flavor hops before a mild, bittersweet finish. A pretty smooth and drinkable IPA.

Bottle. Clear, filtered amber orange colored body with a white and tan head. Very lively body, lots of bubbles. Oily hop cone scent, somewhat plasticy and moldy, but otherwise a solid and strong oily hop nose... sweaty and sweet. Tastewise it’s somewhat crisp, though bland, and thin in the body and lacking any depth of flavor. OK overall, lightly sweet, light honey and leafy flavors, but nothing remarkable.

Nice musky herbal hop aroma with an apparent malt background. A little less amber colored for an amber, light head and little lacing. Watered down IPA flavor with nothing redeeming but on the other hand not dissapointing. Not very dry or bitter like most IPAs, an almost tangy grapefruity finish. I was expecting much worse for a Fred Meyer IPA.

Bottle. Poured hazy copper with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bitter citrus flavor with a medium bitter smooth finish of moderate duration.

An IPA with a mysterious floral hop impact not noticeable at either beginning or end.
