Sweet grapefruit aroma with a bit of pine. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet taste of citrus, fruit and toffee. smith4498 (816), Miami, Florida, USA Jul 29, 2008 Pours slightly hazy golden orange with white head. Piney aroma with a little sweetness. Initial flavor is piney hops fololwed by grapefruit and sweet maltiness. Nice bitterness and spiciness. Medium body with lively carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A very well done IPA. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 28, 2008 22 oz. bottle - purchased at Belmont Station; pours clear and light orange; slight carbonation and thin white head; big, raw, grainy aromas mainly of pine hops; light body, but creamy, felt-like texture comes out as it warms; malty and fairly bitter; a very nice IPA Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jul 28, 2008 Bottle, thanks Mark: This is a very solid, spicy IPA. Very piney up front, virtually no head as poured from the bottle. Toasted caramel malt in the background. Flavor is a one-two punch of pine and then citrus, with a well-rounded bitter finish. Schultsc (478), Henderson, Nevada, USA Jul 16, 2008 Light orange-gold with thick medium-dense, light tan head. Orange peel, subtle pine, light caramel malt, and a hint of hops spice in the aroma. Flavor is very much the same--easygoing, smooth body with well-structured malt underpinnings and spicy hops and a touch of alcohol in the finish. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Jul 12, 2008 Amber colored. Aroma is usual PNW goodness with notes of grapefruit, pine, citrus, some caramel backing. Moderate to high bitterness, medium bodied. Nice IPA. voota (761), Melbourne, Australia Jun 30, 2008 Dark golden, clear with a slightly off-white head. Poor retention. Having tasted this straight after a stone IPA, it was pretty easy to notice the difference between these two.. From the aroma through to the finish, this was smoother, yet fuller in mouthful and gave much more fresh hoppy notes (dry hopping with cascade shines strongly). It feels less bitter, but easily manages to assert itself as a serious IPA. A soft lime note kicks around in the finish which is delicious. Its a touch warming too. A great rounded IPA.
