Mar 18, 2008 Updated: Apr 28, 2008Bottled. Lightly hazy golden, small head. Aroma of lychee abd canteloupe. Sweet and medium bodied with chewy caramelly malt character. Firm and vital with restrained citric hoppiness. Finisehs with medium bitterness. Aiming more towards balance than most American IPAs.

May 11, 2005 Bright golden-amber colour. The aroma is woody, citrusy with fresh bready maltiness. Moderate bitterness - slightly woody, earthy. Some toasted malts and clean bread notes. The palate is balanced. An IPA doesn’t need to bludgeon you with hops to be good.

Nov 8, 2004 Very mild funky bitterness and adjuncty caramel malt presence in the aroma. Pours a clear pale golden with thick puffy white head. Fine lacing throughout. Starts with a light sugary sweetness and some earthy, piney hops, turning more dry and bitter toward a semi-sticky finish. Has a mildly stinging carbonation throughout. The hop presence and malty sweetness were not only unbalanced, but not very good one way or the other. A drinkable beer, but not very true to style or interesting for that matter.

Aug 21, 2006 Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Toffee, grapefruit and evergreen nose. The flavor is a bit thin and leans toward the sweet side of balance, but offers nice, juicy PNW hops. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes gently bitter and dry. Very drinkable! I’d say it’s an English IPA, but the hops are all American. Reminiscent of an English IPA. How’s that? Thanks go out to Argo0 for sharing the bottles.
