Dec 21, 2009 Bottle: Deep amber, large frothy off-white head, nice lacing, light carbonation. Hoppy/citrusy nose, has a fresh pine aspect to it. Slight candied citrus peel. Muted hop bite up front, not as sweet nor citrusy as the nose suggested. Decent balance, but doesn’t feel as big as other IIPAs. Certainly malty, slightly thick on the tongue. Not overly hopped which I like, but has a grainy/earthy sort of hop presense that somewhat detracts. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Lingering malt like bitterness, mild sweetness lingers.

Dec 30, 2008 Citrus hops in the aroma. A touch of pine and floral hops as well interspersed with some caramel malts and a light buttery notes. Copper color with a great head and lasting. Dry bitter hops are very citrus and a touch perfumey. Some caramel malts and a little butter, but not to the point that it detracts too much from the brew. Long dry finish.

Nov 21, 2008 Tap... Poured cloudy ruby, with an off-white head. Aroma was hoppy with a little yeast-like malt grains. Dry palate with hops up front. The bitterness was a nice kick that’s certainly welcomed for the cold months. It finished hoppy with spicy citrus notes.

Jul 29, 2008 A better brew from Lompoc, especially for a winter seasonal (not poorly spiced). Everything you would want from an IPA.

Jan 7, 2008 07-08 Road Trip with BikesandBeer. Had at Horsebrass Pub in Portland. Pours amber with a half finger tan head. Nose was super faint with a blend of malt and hop. Taste was full of sweet hops with malt on the back end. Not bad.

Dec 20, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Brown amber color with a super puffy white head. Medium body and carbonation. Aroma of Xmas spice. Flavor of roasted malt, decent hop. Finish is well balanced, spicy, malty, hoppy. Could be a trace of ginger. Very nice.

Dec 18, 2007 Enjoyed recently at Hedge House in Portland, OR--An amped up version of the C-Note. A copper-amber-orange body with a nice white head. Nose of big piny, grapfruity floral hops. Spicy and backed with a decent malt bill. Finished caramelly and bitter. I like IPAs so this was very enjoyable.

Dec 21, 2006 Pours deep amber with a medium white head. Smells strongly of pine and flowers. Taste is overwhelmingly hoppy, in a good way. Strong pine and flower tastes with a hint of caramel malt that becomes more prominent as the aftertaste kicks in. Damn good.
