Jul 14, 2005 From notes. Slightly hazy yellow gold with a medium sized foamy white head. Liquid Simcoe juice aroma. Big resinous and citrus Simcoe character somewhat balanced by a hefty dose of syrupy malt. Finish is a residual astringency that coats the mouth. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth for the alcohol content, fades to astringency.

May 31, 2005 Poursa cloudy golden hue with a light white head. Aromas of resinous weed, pine... Flavors of honey, pine, a little doughy with a nice bitterness.

May 11, 2005 I’d say the major difference between the wipe out and this, single hop variety, IPA, is that you get a much drier, somewhat more refined ale here. Leaves you wanting that next sip.

May 8, 2005 (Draft: Pizza Port in Carlsbad, CA) Grapefruit flavor of hops is very spunky, fairly bitter, but not over the top. Moderate sweetness and mild maltiness provides a nice base to showcase the Simcoe hops. Advertised as 7-8% ABV, and it’s well-hidden. Moderate aroma of grapefruit. Clean, crisp palate, medium bodied. Dark golden in color, with a slight haze. Off-white head is on the small side and fades to a thin halo surrounding a few wisps. Very delicate, ringed lacing adorns the glass. I really like this Simcoe hopped IPA. This is the second or third beer I’ve liked that was 100% Simcoe, so I think I really enjoy this type of hops.
