| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2008 <b>11/05/2008</b>: North by Northwest Kodiak IPA pours a hazy golden color and has puffy white head and fine, detailed lacing. The fresh citrusy aroma contains sugary orange and grapefruit and other candied fruit (peach?) along with a touch of spruce/resin as well. The the flavor is also fresh and lively. It is well balanced between the hoppiness, toffeee maltiness, and bitterness. This IPA is medium-light to medium in body and soft on the palate. It is very good and very enjoyable. Another solid IPA.

Pour is golden orange, hazed, with a one inch off white head. Floating dregs near the bottom of the glass, nice looking beer. Aroma of really fresh apricot and orange hops. Taste is the hops - fruit hops, bitter resin earthiness that lingered with mineral elements. Palate is thin medium, chewy unfiltered. Nice one, thanks, Kevin. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
