Smells of nice balanced citrus, flowers and caramel. Tastes lightly tangy with a great hoppy balance. Wish I could say more, but I’m too busy enjoying this one.

By this point in the tasting my notes are a little sparse but they do say that this one rocked it for me. Gotta have some more of this. Enyoyed at Immy’s tasting.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jan 14, 2007 Bottle conditioning means better beer in my book. This one pours a bit hazy with a deep golden color and a thick 3/4 inch head. The nose is resplendant with big grapefruit hints probably lots of Chinook hops? Flavor is extremely complex with a big body backed up with a crisp almost dry hoppy finish. This beer can stand up to almost anything. I certainly enjoy the palate of this and will drink many as I grow older. rmussman (905), California, USA

Probably now approaching one of my favorite breweries. Aroma is very malty and sweet. Appearance is cloudy light brown with a thick head. Mouthfeel is incredibly smooth. Flavor is great with a mild hoppy flavor and nice thick IPA aftertaste. craftbeerdesign (762), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

Then I had a week old bottle at the Stuffed Sandwich and this is clearly a fantastic DIPA. Nose is rich with orange, grapefruit, cream, spicy hops and blossoms. Flavor is much the same and finishes long with lemon juiciness and bight pine. Really fantastic. Gooney (62), Oregon, USA
