Angeloregon (1516), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 17, 2007 Had this when it was called the Wildcat IPA--Poured a rich copper-amber with a big floral nose. Brightly hopped with a decent gritty malt spine. One of the better IPAs from the area in a while. Wallup of hops in the finish left mouth bitter and sweet feeling. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2006 (Dry Hopped) - Decent IPA, tastes very fresh. Lingering on the palate, a great bitter aftertaste. Cookie dough maltiness, with a great fruit rind hoppiness, reminscent of fresh apricots, and pine needles. Well balanced, a refreshing change. zoecara (1), sandy, Oregon, USA does not count Mar 26, 2006 Just got back from the pup, it’ a mile walk from my house. This ale is the best IPA I’ve ever tasted. Very fresh in the hops department. Well rounded flavor and body with a good head. wonderful aftertaste that lingers for the next half hour. Color a bit dark for a IPA but expected for the malt density. PeterEkstrom (1), Milwaukie, Oregon, USA does not count Jan 20, 2006 1st Run IPA is just that, the 1st beer made in a new brewery. It’s a bit soft on the hops, but the ’Dry Hop’ version is much better. Both are available.
