Commercial Description:
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

Pours amber body with a foamy white head. Pretty standard, yet pretty delicious IPA aroma to it (I have had so many IPAs that the aroma I ceased to describe as piny or fruity, but merely in a tautalogical way hehe). Overall, the beer is an intense IPA. It is hoppy in front and hoppy in back. It is intensely citrsuly fruity and rather bitter all around. Sweetness is there. Everything you want in an IPA is more or less in this beer in a pretty good measure.

Cloudy amber in appearance. Floral hops and a touch of marijuana (no joke!) for the aroma. This brew is really bitter with a touch of pine and mint thrown in. I can take some bitter beer but this is about at the limit of my tolerance. I found this to be barely drinkable.

Very bitter and crisp tasting. Huge grapefruit taste and aroma. Lasting bitter finish. Strong earthy malt backbone provides some initial sweetness but is later dominated by hops. Better than most imperial IPAs. Medium bodied and perfectly carbonated.

On tap at Publick House in Brookline. This is just a top notch IPA: a big, citrusy, flowery aroma is matched by an equally flavorful body. Palate is full bodied, supportive of the firm hop bitterness in the finish. Primary flavors include grapefruit, lemon, and pine. Excellent!

Holy sediment! This thing pours like a glass of high-pulp orange juice, with the aroma and flavor to match. A billion particles floating throughout this hazy, amber beauty with a fresh scent of orange citrus, pine and malt. The flavor is the same with a sweet malt back that finishes smooth and bitter hoppy. This stuff is awesome.

(Bottle) Purchased at Brewery Creek in Vancouver back in November 2008. Pours a quick dissipating white head atop a deep golden body. Very citrus nose with a floral background. The flavour is sweet and ultimately true to PNW-style. A great representation. Cheers! 7/3/8/4/15
