Oct 30, 2009 A very fine example of the PNW Double IPA. Lots of hops in the aroma, big citrus hop flavor and loads of smooth bitterness is balanced nicely by malty sweetness. Very drinkable from the lighter body but the high ABV makes it dangerous. This is what a IIPA was meant to be, a great balance of hops, malt, and alcohol.

Oct 25, 2009 Big bott, imported for Brewnz! A luscious citrus pine in ya face hop aroma, its taken me 3/4 of the bottle to get this far. Damm ratebeer, dont you wish you could drink it without having to think abt it! Anyway, this is mothers milk - such well balanced warmth and sweetness in the palate, resinous well balanced citrus smorgasboard - nothing dominates, just a fine equalibrilum of all things US Cascade. Oh the sweetness - devine...!!!xxxxx

Oct 21, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Hops hops and more hops, in case you didn’t realize this beer has some hops, correction- shit loads of hops, but it also has a nice sweet aftertaste. At 8.8% alcohol this beer is smooth, mellow, sweet, and I almost forgot, hoppy.

does not count  Oct 7, 2009 I love this beer, especially on cask! Very citrusy aroma, cloudy orange color. Bitter hop bite (which is not as strong on cask) with a citrus/fruit finish. Very drinkable for a beer this strong.

Sep 30, 2009 22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a mostly clear golden orange with a frothy 2 finger thick off white head, great lacing. Nose of bright citrus with tangerine being the dominate fruit. I could also pick up some toasted malts in the background. Flavor was intently bitter then gives way to fresh citrus fruits and faint malts, finishing with medium bitterness. A nice fresh IIPA with the 9% very well hidden.

Sep 29, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to BrewDad. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. A sweet nose of earthy citrus hops, rich caramel as well. The flavor actually leans toward the caramel malt side, sweet and light bitterness, lots of pine and grapefruit. The caramel and sweetness is dominant. Tropical fruit. Enjoyable. Very smooth and no notice of 9%.
