Aug 31, 2009 12oz bottle, notched August--hopefully the bottled on month. . . Aroma of sweaty Cascades with some earth and light spice behind. There are also some biscuit and light caramel notes. Clear medium orange with a one finger off-white head, good retention. Flavor mirrors the aroma. Semi-dry with bitterness at a 4. Light prickly carbonation with a medium body. So-so.

Aug 30, 2009 12 oz bottle poured into my trusty dogfish snifter. This produced a dark copper colored beer with a small, quickly dissipating 2 finger head. There was good lacing throughout the sampling. Aroma consisted of light citrus hops and a very strong malt. The taste was dominated by malts up front and then a very slight hop bitterness. This was an above average beer and great for sessions.

Aug 24, 2009 Pours dark, very slightly hazed copper with a tall, yellowish off white head that has great retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is grass, citrus, some pine, herbal, caramel, biscuit and melon. Flavor is grainy, sweet malts, citrus, a little pine, biscuit, honeydew, a little grainy funk, wet limestone and a little breadiness. Palate is light to medium body, creamy, slightly chalky and neutral right up till the end where it dries out a bit, it has just the right amount of a really pillowy but slightly sharp carbonation. I really don’t think this stuff fits the IPA style very well as it really lacks the overall strength of an IPA. That being said, I really don’t care if it fits the category, this is a damn fine (India?) pale ale. Easily the best brew that I have had from my home state of Iowa... Now to convince my local store to carry it.
