Thanks CelticBerw for sharing this with DrBayern and me. A nice, very hoppy nose. the head was nice and lasted, very lacy on the glass.Huge hop aroma that was most pleasent. Great mouthfeel ! This golden colored nectar finished with great bittering that lasts!

22 oz. bomber courtesy of CelticBrew and shared with him and Doboy on 5/23/08. Clear gold with a medium white head that persists nicely. Huge fresh hop aroma of citrus and pine over a base of honey. They must have dumped a tractor trailer full of hops into the fermenter.

Medium body and carbonation as expected, and a very resinous, lip smacking mouthfeel. Quite bitter right from the start, and although a substantial malt base provides some balance, it’s definitely not the main event.

A long, bitter finish of citrus zest brings things to an end. A hophead’s delight, but just a bit unbalanced I think. Still, very enjoyable, but not for the novice.

Clear amber with a fleeting head. Big citrusy and floral hop aroma with some light caramel sweetness. Medium body and lightly carbonated. Great taste mirrors the aroma with big citrus and floral hop riding a lightly sweet pale male base. Wow, really good ipa here, love to try this on tap sometime.

Bottle. Pours a hoppy orange body with white head. Aroma is honey, pine, hop flowers. Flavor is sweet hoppy and pine. decent.

Brewed in Pacific City, Oregon. Combines Cascade, Magnum and Centennial Hops with Pale ale and Caramel malts. Specs: 85 IBU, 7.5% ABV and 17° Plato. Has a very complex aroma that blooms with fresh strawberries followed by light citrusy hop accents and some very faint pine notes. It has a mild carbonation with a rich creamy off white head and orange-amber body. The taste is very much like the aroma on this one, fruity, citrusy, and a powerful hop bite. Has a well balanced finish with a smooth combo of bitter and sweet flavors, although it may be slightly cloying. On the pallet it has a full bodied mouth feel with a somewhat thick aftertaste. All in all a very crafty and complex beer. This one would not make it on my A list of IPA’s (as I am an IPA snob), but nonetheless a solid beer. The fruity sweetness of this beer might compliment a spicy dinner.

Bottle from Hannot. Thanks Todd! Pour is clear copper with a nice, white head. Great initial lacing. Much grassy, spicy hop aroma. Flavor is pretty subtle...nice, citrusy hops and good malt backing. Fairly sweet. Good body and very nice. Good thirst quencher. Better than solid and needs a re-visit for sho!

this one of my favorite oregon beers.crystal amber pour,thin white head..aroma citrusy hop,and pine.this beer does not disappoint.citrus,and pine flavors,give a nw ipa resin flavor,and mouth feel.if you have the chance to enjoy tis beer then do.if you have the chance to,experience this beer on the oregon coast,at the brew pub all the better,the beer,and the scenery will not disappoint

bottle thanks to todd.....pours a crystal clear amber brown with a white head forming around the edges...... subdued aroma of sweet citrusy hops and a little grassiness and pine..... flavors left me wanting for more. citrus hops with a lasting equalizing resiny bitterness that remains on the palate. small malt profile doesn’t add much. carbonation is pretty lively..... not as enjoyable as i would have liked but still pretty good.
