Feb 8, 2009 On tap at Africa Lounge. The aroma is pretty doughy with some bready yeast and floral and peppery hops. The pour is hazy and amber with a decent head. The flavor is doughy, bready, and floral with a long peppery finish. This would probably be my favorite of their beers actually.

Oct 28, 2008 Draft@Afrika Lounge. Deep amber with a viscous tan head. Mild floral piney aroma with dark bread and caramel. Medium body. Overbalanced flavor of grainy, yeasty bready malt grist is lightly sweet. Has a mild floral hop taste, with a good hop bitterness to finish. Similar to their Amber but not near as good.

Oct 16, 2008 on draft. amber with medium head. nice citrus hops mix with a bit of toasted malt that reminds me a bit of their amber. a bit of an astringent sharpness that it could really do without.

May 29, 2008 On tap. Pours a hazy gold color with a thin tan head. The aroma is of citrus and hops. Great citrus and hops flavor upfront, with a nice almost-sweet finish. Very refreshing! Serve with quality crab cakes, rice pilaf and mixed greens.

Feb 24, 2008 Growler my dad brought back from the brewery. Nice golden honey color with some orange leanings. Smells like a resiny hop, with citrus and some yeast.
The flavor brings caramel and some hops, but not a hoppy bitter bomb I expect from a "NW IPA". Very drinkable, not overwhelmed by hops in such a way it’s almost hard to drink. Great beer, thanks dad.

Jan 22, 2008 On tap at Africa Grill
With some time to kill before my flight home I stopped at this bar next to my gate. There was not much to choose from but they did have all four Mac and Jacks. I eventually settled on the IPA since it had the fewest ratings. Most of them seemed favorable. I have to agree. If you get a chance to try this without paying $5.00 do so.
Aroma / Appearance - A transparent rose gold body was decorated by a minimal head. As I sat waiting for the frozen glass to defrost so that I could actually taste something I tried to pick out the aromas attempting to escape. Finally I detected wheat, honey and sweet hops. Iced gingerbread cookies blended with Wurthers hard candy complete a satisfying nose.
Flavor / Palate - Resin and caramel compete for attention. For an IPA it is not dominated by the hops. The malts get a chance to make an appearance as well. This was a great sessionable IPA that I would try again if I could it in the proper (non iced) glass.
