Earthy aroma of floral hops, toasty malts, light sweetness. Pours amber with a thin head. Toasty, earthy, floral with a pleasant bitter kick. Pleasant beginner IPA, nice session ale. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2009 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is pleasant piney hops, not very strong though. The whole thing seemed kind of muted. Earthy and hoppy with a decent biscuit malt backing, but thin bodied and without much of a finish. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Slightly hazy copper coloured body with a thinnish slightly off-white head. Very nice potent aroma of floral and citrusey hops with a lot of metallic scents and a pungent sweetness - nice! Medium-bodied; Strong astringent hops up front showing flowers and citrus with a light pineyness fading to a subtle malt backbone and an almost too mild finish. Aftertaste shows a very mild hoppiness with not malt backbone - interesting. Overall, a good beer at first then turns very disappointing! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from BottleWorks in Seattle, Washington [State] on 11-November-2009, sampled at home here in Washington [the capital one] on 26-March-2009.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 11, 2009 12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine in Roseville. The label is notched at November, so this is 3-4 months old. Aroma has some light metallic and herbal hop notes, which are not overly aggressive. There is more maltiness in this. Some husky malts with a little sweet molasses, too. Doesn’t smell much like an IPA. Mildly hazy copper-amber body with a small off-yellow head. Earthy, herbal hop bite to start, before a little caramel malt sweetness takes over. Finishes with a good dose of grapefruity C hops. A little dry and a bit warming. This is slightly oxidized. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Bottle: Hazy amber colored pour with medium sized head. Lemony, hoppy, piney, citrus aroma. Bitter, piney, hoppy finish. jjuf1853 (480), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Bottle pours a hazy copper orange color with a dense off white head. Floral hop aroma. Decent malty backbone mixed with the hop bitterness. I haven’t found too many organic beers that I like but this one is pretty good. marcus (1896), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 13, 2009 This orange/copper ale poured with a decent beige head and a floral aroma. This is a well-balanced brew, starting with a sweet caramel malt flavor that is soon usurped by significant, but not overwhelming hop bitterness with a pine trailer. The flavor is slightly too thin for an IPA, but overall a pretty tasty beverage.
