Pours a light amber orange color with small creamy off white head. Aroma is a bit musty and slightly malty, with some herbal/citrusy hoppiness from the cascades. Flavor has notes of caramel and orange, with a moderate astringent/catty bitterness in the finish. An average IPA.

Pours clear amber with a thick, creamy head. Aroma is mainly of malt supported by nice hops aromatics. Light malt flavors with good hops bitterness that fades quickly. A bit of a thin, watery mouth feel with almost no finish.

SD real ale festival. Pours a hazy orange with a creamy white head. Oxidized cheesiness and pine in the aroma. Lots of grapefruit and yeasty esters. Med. bodied. Tasty but lacks a profound bitterness.

THis brew poors a deep dark orange color with a lasting head. The cascade hops come through most prominent. There is slight malt flavor, but nose and aftertaste reflects the hops most. A good IPA worth tasting.

Poured caramel color with a thick head and lacing. Aroma and flavor are strong hops and caramel with a heavy, bitter hops finish. Good stuff!

Amber colored with big beige head. Tangy citrus with Pine resin, good maltiness as well, not just hop juice. This is a nice small town brewery putting out some great beer!

Malty sweet caramel aroma. Looked like I poured a cream soda in my glass. Flavor had hop bite at first. Asweet hop bite appeared in the middle and weakened by the finish. None the less a good IPA.

Pouring a slightly hazed, deep amber color with a tall, lace-busy, cream colored head, this brew has a strong orange and grapefruit hop aroma overlaying a sweet caramel malt scent. Medium-bodied, it has a strong caramel backbone on top of which is heaped a generous portion of citric hop bitterness. The finish is only lightly bitter, but enough to prompt a ssecond and third pouring.
