| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Tap @ TFD: Yellow/golden pour, lightly hazy. Large offwhite head and good lacing. Aroma of floral and piney hops, light citrus, and a bit malty. Tastes more balanced in hops than the Rocket Dog. Citrus and floral with a light malt presence. Good.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Tap @ The Front Door: Pours a copper golden color with a nice sticky head and nice lacing. The nose is fresh with some piney resinous hop notes and a lupulin dust like cascades. A pale malt and chewy vine note in the flavor. Bitter tail with a hoppy balanced wet hop notes with the dry. Not bad, hoppy but a little sticky and resinous. beerguy101 (3946), Newark, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Tasted on tap 10/24/2008. This APA pours a medium orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is herbal and piney hops. A medium bodied APA. The malts are fruity and sweet, with lots of orange flavors. Hops are herbal and piney. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. Definitely has that wet hop vegetative and herbal quality to it. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. beerinmarch (2810), Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2008 On tap at Bailey’s taproom. Pours amber with a small white head. Hopped up nose, candy citrus hops. Strangely I got a bit of diacetyl out of this, strange for an ale, but it had that butterscotch character. None the less that wasn’t to distracting, soft body with a good balance and fresh green hop flavors throughout. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 16, 2008 On tap at Yakima Fresh Hop fest. Tons of fresh grassy and spicy hops. Very light in alcohol and bitterness. Just a great example of what a fresh hop ale can be in the NW! Gold medal winner 2 years in a row....
