Much like Stone IPA, in that its a nice tongue buckling bitter IPA. Full flavored, and strong in hops. Drink this one fresh. riversideAK (2779), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Poured a nice amber color with a lasting head and great lacing. The aroma was pretty hoppy with lots of floral and pine as well as a touch of grapefruit rinds. The flavor had more pleasant floral and piney hopsthat gave it a little "herbal" essence, as well as a biscuity malt character for balance. Some nice lingering hops on the palate. A nice smooth drinking IPA with great hop flavor. Skyview (4076), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via ABA Beer Swap. Pours a semi-clear orange amber brew with a thick off-white head that has some nice retention and good lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some grapefruit, lemon zest and a touch of white pepper. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of caramel malt with a little sweet grapefruit and pine. Finish has a fruity and caramel aftertaste with a nice lingering west coast IPA bitterness. Nice! beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA

Very big floral citrus hop nose with just a light malt hint to it. Just a small note of sweetness up front that quickly blends with a big hop IPA bitter finish. Very crisp and dry finish.

The head leaves rather quickly, but laces fairly well. Has a nice hoppy aroma of spruce, citrus, and a touch of sweetness. Has a good carbonation, and a nice mouthfeel. The flavor is hoppy with a good amount of bitterness. Has a watery texture. A medium body and real solid finish with a good aftertaste. A prettty tasty IPA.

Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops and a good balance of sweet caramely malt. Body starts with good fullness and a nice, crisp fresh citrusy bittering and flavor hop character before the finish.
