Sampled at the Harmon Brewery. This one was a hazy light amber color, bursting with hop flavor. It had moderate bitterness and a light, sweet hop aroma with some citrusy hop body and a great, balanced finish. Overall it was very tasty, and probably top on my list for future visits.

Awesome aroma with flowers, peach, grapefruit, mango, some grassiness, a little soap, some herbal notes. Well carbonated and dull blush with a huge rocky white head. Peachy in flavor with a dried fruit character. Lean in body but spritzy. Kinda reminds me of a hopped up Belgian pale ale. Distinct.

12/9/07 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is excellent, sweet, with good bits of resin and freshly cut grass well blended together. Appearance is clear gold with a low white head. Flavor is fairly smooth for the style with medium bittering and a lightly earthy resin note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with slight creaminess and a medium carb feel. Overall, fairly good, with a simple flavor profile and low harshness for an IPA.

Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours a hazy butterscotch amber with a sudsy off white head. Nice citrusy hop aroma. Medium bodied, but with a thin texture ( but not watery). Initial flavor of toffee flavored malt that is quickly answered by a juicy hop middle. Semi dry bitter finish with lingering grapefruit rind. Lacks the body of other west coast IPAs, but it works with this beer. It makes it more refreshing. Good beer.
