Bottle Pours a hazy orange amber with a thin off white head. 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.

From the 12oz bottle pours a nice honey amber, very clear, with a white head. 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.

Big surprise is just how far reaching this beer is being sampled in the US, last I heard Shasta had like 2 exits, good stuff on there part. As for the beer, kind of lighter than I would have expected for a 7% IPA, smell was citrusy, not sure of the hops. Taste was caramel with a strong dry finish. This is an above average IPA, but higher marks because of where it’s from, went to a wedding up there and it was off the hook, groom did a beer run mid-wedding, just spectacular.

Poured into the glass straight down the middle. This created a huge creamy head which really hasn’t fallen in over a couple of minutes and even after consuming half the bottle is still there with lots of lace on the glass! Slightly cloudy copper color body. Nice hoppy aroma. Body a bit thin. First part of flavor is hops. Then there’s a malt kicker, followed by a hoppy aftertaste. Hops linger on the palate, but not overwhelming, which is a plus.

Bottle… Lightly hazed golden ale with a small, bubbly, white head. The nose is of honey, toffee, resin and pine. Full-bodied and velvety with bristly carbonation. Leans only slightly toward the bitter side of balance. Malty and sweet up front, but hopped sufficiently to place it firmly within the genre of PNW IPA. Finishes tannic, tongue-numbing and fairly dry. Thanks go out to giarcsr for sending this bottle my way!

I swear, this IPA tastes like BubbleYum... Very sweet but not overyly so and it runs off the palate like a dog chasing a car. A fine, fine beer.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Light caramel malt, with additions of lightly spiced hop resins some pine and floral notes. Light pine etoh warming. The malt character pronounces itself more as the beer warms, i could do with out it but overall its still better than decent.
