Sep 2, 2009 This bottled brew from a rating party at Patrick’s poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a slightly hazy orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was mild hop and dirty sock. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider having again.

Aug 14, 2009 Bottle@Oslo Øljunta Olympen Gathering. Mediumsized offwhite head. Body is pale copper-gold. Cascade-o-rama! Overwhelming aroma of citrussy hops with a tropical touch, backed by a pleasant whiff of toffee. Predominant hop flavor; citrus, evergreen and tropical. Gently sweet caramellish malts beneath. Quite filling, slick. Finishes on the drier side, with a fine, lingering bitterness. Archetype west coast IPA, just lovely!

Aug 6, 2009 Pours clear orange-amber, dense slightly off-white head with moderate retention. HUGE sweet malt and floral hop aromas, caramelized sugar and sweet tree fruit. Palate develops a ton of spicy hops and sweet malt with some brown sugar character to boot, long spicy hop finish. Delightful warm, rich mouthfeel with even carbo. One of the best of the Pacific Northwest IPAs.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/27/09. Beautiful. gold with bubbly white head. A slam of hops in the nostrils dominated by grapefruit and orange. Incredibly smooth and balanced with a nice dry finished. This is what every straight up IPA should aspire to be.

Jul 20, 2009 Small white head. Hazy yellow body. Can smell citric aromas even before the glass reaches me. Citric mango and grapefruit aroma with resiny caramel notes. Dry-sweetish honey resiny caramel taste with grapefruit notes. Mid-bodied. Dry resiny wooden aftertaste with peppery notes. Very nice and drinkable. (At Oslo beer junta tasting.)

Jul 19, 2009 Floral aromas with hints of honey, and maple sugar. Opaque orange color with bubbly off white head. Flavor is sweet initially changing to a salty pretzel like flavor in the middle with a lightly bitter pine finish. Very nice and solid creamy palate. Some smokiness in the flavor, along with sweet notes of caramel and sugar. Bitterness is well balanced and flavorful. Hits the right notes for me.

Jul 19, 2009 (22oz bomber) Purchased at Brewery Creek on July 16, 2009. Thanks to Niko for being the beer-mule via the ferries. Great, bright, lively orange nose. Very pine and citrus with an resin elixir, oily finish. Bit orange and pine hops gives way to the ABV and sweet malts. Very enjoyable. 8/4/8/4/15
