Dec 3, 2006 Clear amber pour with a lasting head that provides excellent lacing. Heavily hopped nose is filled with rose petals, pine and orange/lemon/lime citrus. Earthy yeasts and soapy hops in body. This really lacks the malt definition which vaults IPAs into a higher tier for me. Lots of rose petals and orange rind in the hot alcoholic finish.

Nov 24, 2006 Large, white head atop a clear amber body. Pleasant, if not somewhat subdued, nose of pine, resin, grapefruit and flowers. The flavor only hints at malt sweetness, and is dominated by bitterness. The taste is full of floral hops, soap, grapefruit. Medium body with a sticky texture. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish that is moderately acidic.

Nov 16, 2006 Translucent and dulled polished brass in color with a wispy, icy, oily splotched head on top. Cascades hit home with oily blanched grapefruit, strawberry shortcake and lime juice dripping into it. Cheesy tropical fruit is accentuated by danishes, drumming in the distance with pillowy lilac accents and forming an adequate bridge to the flavor component of the show. Balanced toasted grain keels with lemon buttered bread loafs. Decreased carbonation is comforted by the cascades, providing a baked, toasted maize base. Soapy lemons meet with the fabric softening cotton lightness. Medium-bodied and a textbook example of an IPA, winding down with waxy, buttered sourdough and a touch of papaya enzyme, empathetically comforting on its way out. Thanks for sharing, Blake!

Nov 12, 2006 Light amber color with a small but stable and soft off-white head. Pale malts smeared with citric marmalade. LIght sweet floral aromas in the backdrop. Fairly heavy in feel. Somewhat grainy sweetness with loads of mildly citric hops. Gets quite bitter and sharp the deeper one gets with this one. Finish is near burning of green hops with a sharp bitterness. A touch more balance throughout would be welcome for me.

Nov 12, 2006 Bottle. The beer pours to a glowing caramel/light orange body with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is sweet with tons of bitter grapefruit hops. Flaked malts/grains. Some oranges. The flavor is grassy with some light citrus oils. Pretty malty. Bitter creamy palate.
