Apr 10, 2009 22 oz bottle, via 5000. Pours a slightly hazy orangish gold body with a nice one inch foamy off-white head that showed nice retention. The nose is laced with floral hops with a bit of a citrus note over a lightly toasty and caramel malt base. The flavor is fairly bright, the hops are more floral and perfumy tasting than I was expecting for a West Coaster. There’s a bit of an orange rind oil bitterness to it as well, especially on the finish. Much more of a "balanced" IPA than I was expecting. Toasty and on the drier side as far as the malt goes, but this does have a little sweetness on the back end. Medium bodied with a lingering moderately bitter finish and soft fizzy carbonation. This was OK, but it was a bit of a letdown for me. I was looking for something a bit more aggressive than this.

Mar 12, 2009 Pours a light copper with a thin head, not much lacing. Pine, fruit, and bread on the nose. Semi-sweet with a moderate (for an IPA from the PNW) bitter finish. Relatively light palate for the style. Pretty good brew, I drink it all the time at Bombs Away Cafe.
