Jul 30, 2008 22 oz bomber courtesy my Secret Santa. Pours our a light copper, straw color with a thick white head. Grapefruit, pine hop aroma very fragrant. Chewy citrus hops taste with a nice balance of malt to smooth things out. Solid IPA.

Jul 28, 2008 Updated: Mar 5, 2009From a 22 oz bottle, the pour looks like honey with a white lacing on top, which lasted until the brew was gone. The flavor is intense citrus hops, but with detectable maltiness. It’s a good balance. Aroma is a nice piney citrus. This is a very good beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Good, thick, hoppy IPA.
Flowery nose, hazy amber hue. Lots of hops throughout, spicy, floral and tastes almost stronger than 6.5%.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle from Foodery. Clover honey amber color with good head. Pacific Northwest hops. Citrusy, resiny, piney,and bitter with a chewy, thick caramel/bready malt undertoe. Very bitter and sweet. Not as impressed by the west coast IPA’s as I used to be.

Jul 1, 2008 bottle. Very nice looking pour- bright golden amber color, big creamy head that sticks around for a good long time, never fully clearing. Aromas of pine needles, earthy floral notes, and a creamy sweetness. Flavors start with a sharp, dry bitterness. Very chalky, acrid tobacco-ish hop character. Thick, bready sweetness. Not so well done on the combinations- the hop character is too sharp and chalky, the malt is a bit too sticky sweet. Those issues come through in the palate- oily and thick. Not an especially well-done IPA.
