Draft at the brewpub as Chehalem Mountain IPA. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty and citrusy. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of grass from the hops, leading to a dry bitter finish where the grass sticks on the tongue.

Bright golden-amber. Woody, grassy hop aroma with a good dose of toasty malts. Starts with a firm woody bitterness. The finish gets malty, with a big minerally note and a hint of diacetyl. The minerals I can handle but the diacetyl....such a poor finish is not becoming of this beer.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly toasted grainy malts and some earthy grassy hops. Starts with a mild caramel malty sweetness and some earthy bittering hops. Finishes drier, earthy and bittersweet. For a west-coast IPA, I’d expect a much bigger fresher hoppy presence.
