Mar 13, 2008 The first time I drank this beer it was about six months ago, and it tasted like it had a dirty old peg leg in it. What I really mean to say is that I did not enjoy it at that time. Tonight; however, it was quite enjoyable. I think the brewer must have eliminated whatever hop it was that was giving it that bitter flavor in favor of something with a much grassier, citrusy flavor. It was very refreshing. The color was still the same golden amber. The head was a bit yellowish and the aroma was of grapefruit and grass. The smell reminded me of my childhood in Florida gathering grapefruits from the yard on a Sunday morning. I had this beer with a Ham’s chicken burger (all organic by the way) and the fresh flavors cut through the greasier flavors quite nicely.

Mar 8, 2008 Growler courtesy of elmatador00 as part of the growler swap. Pours a clear amber gold with a moderate yellow-white head that lasted until the very end and left very nice lacing on the glass all the way to the bottom. Pleasant aroma of grapefruit and some light pine. The flavor was well balanced between caramel and bitter grapefruit and light pine. A biscuit flavor emerges at the finish. A very solid and enjoyable APA.

Apr 21, 2007 Pours a cloudy and murky golden amber color. Willowed head of white. Citrusy hops fill the nares along with a tacky dollop of pine. Mild grassiness. Hops dominate the flavor, with plenty of Pacific Northwest character afoot. Subtle malt base underneath. Solid bitterness; a worthy IPA.

The flavor was enjoyable with light grainish sweetness lovely grapefruit hops and notes of other citrus and wood (Simcoe, Mt Hood, Cascade, and one other hop I can’t recall). Spicy dry finish.
