does not count  Aug 26, 2008 poured well and had a typical west coast aroma of pine with some grapefruit. tasted like they dumped as much cascade hops into an ipa; overal unbalanced and too hoppy. this is coming from an ipa fan

Aug 24, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a shaker. Poured a clear amber color with three fingers of white head. Lacing was moderate. Aroma was of pine and floral hops with a little caramel. Flavor was bitter up front and in back, but well balanced with malt. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Great brew.

Aug 24, 2008 I’m pretty shocked. I fully expected to really like this brew but was underwhelmed. It’s very bitter and astringent but not at all balanced. Not a top tier IPA by any stretch.

Aug 24, 2008 [1620-20080822] 12floz bottle. Floral hops and pine resin aroma. Murky, medium orange brown body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head and lots of floaties. Hoppy resin pine flavour has a bitter bite with a mild butter finish. Medium-full body is bitter. Very bitter but a nicely made brew.

Aug 23, 2008 Amber with a small white head. Nose is strong hop scents with grapefruit, lemon, grass. The flavor is a little weaker with citrus and caramel in the flavor, but there’s a nice wood that comes through. A little too sticky and oppressively coating.
