Sampled this one on draught at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, OR. This beer pours to a hazy, deep golden to orange color, with a soapy, white head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is really excellent, with vibrant citrus aromas of lemon/grapefruit. The palate is firm, with good pale and biscuity malt flavor, with some tangy/candy lemon hop flavors as well. This beer finishes with good pale and biscuity malt up front, then ends with a zesty, tangy, citrus hop bite that lingers. Well done AIPA, with good hop character, yet a very drinkable beer.

Jul 28, 2008 At Old St. Francis School in Bend. Pours hazy orange with small white head (probably just the way it was poured). Some carbonation bubbles. A grassy, pine, resin nose with weak malt backbone. A decent bitter finish, but seems weak and watery overall to me.

Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a light orange hue with a small, egg white head.
S- Smell is very faint, yeasty notes, some piney hops.
T- Tastes a lot like their hammerhead pale ale. Sweet syrupy floral notes flow into a piney hoppiness.
M- a little thicker than the normal ipa, good carbonation.
D- Easily sessionable, not the best ipa, not the worst.

Mar 19, 2008 A decent low abv IPA that I would skip. Tasty crisp finish with a golden pour. Lacks IPA character, however decent it is.

Dec 24, 2007 On tap at Bagdad Theatre in Portland--Poured a bright hazy yellow-orange body with a medium sized white head. Nose of bright floral hops and bready gritty grains. Well-carbonated with a good mouth feel. A little dull in the finish, but overall, pretty good.
