May 5, 2002 AMAZING hoppy-sweet aroma that’s exactly what I think a hop-infused West Coast US beer should be. The flavor is bitingly bitter and absolutely wonderful. It smacks you upside the head in a well-rounded and pleasant way. Its finish is sweet and gentle. I loved it!

Oct 8, 2005 09.30.05 Tap at Falling Rock Hazed amber gold wtih thick and lasting froth of white. This was one of my favorites of the GABF weekend. Great balance all around from sniff to swallow. Plenty of lively eff to keep the palate clean. Huge IPA with thick and chewy malts, tropical fruit sweetness, lots of citrus and especially grapefruit. Sticky dry finish. Finish is long, citrus, wheatgrass. Just outstanding. I drank far too much of this goodness. The combination of peppery spice, grassy, plus citrusy hops is irresistible to me.

Feb 27, 2004 Clear amber body, beautiful rocky off-white head and excellent lacing. Massive grapefruit, citrus, cascade aroma. Brings me back to my days of homebrewing and smelling the hops directly. The flavor is an almost perfect balance of caramel and the citrus hops. Bitterness is quite pleasing. The beer finishes with a bit more pine than grapefruit. Body is medium. The palate is actually quite wonderful. This is one of the best IPAs I have ever had. Wow.

Dec 18, 2008 If your a hop head you will love it. It puts you in that Hoppy place. Thick foamy lace that stays.Clear copper orange color. Aroma floral hoppy rose petals. The kind of smell that puts a smile on your face. You want to keep under you nose and trans port you to all the pleasant places you have been. Great balance and malt like a meal. Top 10 beer. Stinky sticky and delicious. Like sex in a bottle.

Feb 12, 2005 You don’t just drink this beer, you experience it. Amply hopped with a refreshing citrus aroma, it combines drinkability with potency.

Dec 18, 2007 A quintessential West Coast IPA--From a 22-oz. bottle poured a smooth amber hue with a healthy-looking medium white head that left nice lacing. Aromatic resinous piny nose. Lots of bittering hops. Grapefruity, citrusy and bold. Full, rich flavor. Waves of rich hoppiness with a hardy hoppy, floral, piny lupulin finish. Excellent example of a world class beer!

May 27, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a beautiful clear light orange color with a very attractive white head and fantastic lacing. Simply beautiful. Nose of citrus hops and fruits, with hints of pine. A treat for the nose. Mouthfeel is medium bodied but very smooth. Flavor is a good as the aroma, with much of the same great hops. Long light bitter finish makes this one of the easiest drinking IPAs I have ever seen. A simply wonderful brew and darn I only had one bottle. Got to get more.

Nov 14, 2004 Very nice bronze color aroma awaits you as soon as the cap is removed. Taste of major hops with perfect balance of malts. Finish is crisp and very delightful. Thanks to Frielock!!
