| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Updated: Apr 30, 2009Hazy copper pour, light white head with some retention. Floral aroma, lots of honeysuckle and some sweet tea leaves. Flavor develops plenty of piney hops, some tea leaves as on the nose, and sweet malt. Very pleasant velvety mouthfeel with the right amount of sparkle from the carbo. Worth having again and again, always one of my go-to session IPAs when I can get it locally. brianprentiss (475), Portland, Oregon, USA
